    I would want to still see the Pac fight he has fast hands fast on his feet aswel an punching power who else is there at 140 147 that even has a chance but if not i would say Bradley maybe Ortiz agen i would have liked to see that fight end a normal way an not the way it did an Garcia if he cleans out the rest of the 140 division.

    He has to beat Canelo or OPENLY ADMIT THAT HE 'could' LOSE for fighting a guy who's 170lbs+ on fight night.
    He'll beat the others even if he has a torn rotator cuff on his shoulder and a bleeding cut directly above his right eye.

    Khan, Matthysse, sad to say it but..Pac, Garcia because of the pre-fight build up, Malignaggi because of the pre-fight build up. No one else, I might as well just say it...Thurman, Ortiz rematch. I see Alexander, Bradley etc. achieving NOTHING and not having a single chance.

    My pic would be

    Matthysse 3 (1 shot power will attack the body can end it any time)

    Thurman4 (same reason prob the hardest puncher p4p

    Khan 5 (khan has fast hands and if it goes 12 he could very well win)

    PAC 1 ( power can end it any moment as well as out work may)

    Kell brook 2 ( power in both hands and has a good skill set he will be landing a lot)

    Not sure about the order but:

    Garcia
    Peterson
    Bradley
    Pacquiao (if not shot)
    Marquez (if he looks quick with his hands and feet against Bradley)

    Khan would be a sixth if he could fix himself.

    Garcia, Canelo, Khan and Peterson will be 4 I'm sure.

    I think it's silly to predict all 5 because this time next year there could be another great fighter up in the mix who nobody is mentioning right now. Could be Mayfield, could be Thurman, could also be Brook or Alexander, perhaps Broner, also Bradley and Pacquiao could leave TR, anything can happen. So let's focus on the next fight, not the next 5.

    the 5 fights that are realistic due to network promotion etc

    1 Canelo- most obvious choice

    2- Garcia- though the Zab fight might have dropped some stock

    3- Devon Alexander- laugh all you want i think he has the foot and hand speed as well as the jab to be interesting, more interesting than Guerrero

    4- Mattyssee vs Petersen winner- dont give either a chance but why not

    5- Broner- hes moving up to fight Paulie, if he wins why not, if Paulie wins im no too interested in the Floyd fight
