    Marquez is done, as is Bradley...Thurman isn't solid technically, Porter likewise, Spence would box the ears off them. Kell Brook fights cans and hasn't the power to keep Spence off him. Khan has glass all over him. Danny Garcia is too stationary and slow to outpoint Spence.

    Spence untested yet
    Marquez over the hill
    Thurnan beaten over the hill guys except best win Chaves, still unsure
    Bradley has looked on the slide recent fights
    Vargas one top opponent he lost, Ali don't count as top opponent - overrated
    Porter one dimension, needs more variety on his game
    Khan not fought any ww worth talking about, got his cashout fight v Canelo.
    Leaves Garcia and Brook,
    Garcia finds a way to win, not always good to watch, can punch, good chin.
    Brook technically good boxer, has power, timing and poise.
    If Spence beats Algieri well then he jumps out as possibly No 1 and possible title fight 6-12 months.

    No Marquez is talking about fighting Cotto

    He just had to cycle off his PEDs that led to all that acne and weak knee. I think Heredia created a better PED formula for JMM and he's almost ready to schedule a fight now.

    After last night, who I think would win head-to-head matchups:

    1. Danny Garcia
    2. Amir Khan
    3. Keith Thurman
    4. Kell Brook
    5. Tim Bradley
    6. Lamont Peterson
    7. Shawn Porter
    8. Errol Spence
    9. Jessie Vargas
    10. Diego Chaves (who would probably be rated higher, but he hasn't fought in a long time)
