    According to TBR, pair these chaps off into 5 fights you like to see (using each fighter once).

    For me:

    Manny Pacquiao v Kell Brook.

    It's time for Pacquiao to be taken to the glue factory. He pretty much still has a chance gainst anyone else, less Brook, who will take over as Welterweight king

    Timothy Bradley v Amir Khan

    This should be a competitive fight, but with Timbo's lack of power, I think Khan outpoints Bradley and sets up a mega fight with Brook at Wembley.

    Keith Thurman v Shawn Porter

    Two PBC fighters, two Yanks so easy to make, and would be a good indicator of how good each of them really is.

    Diego Chaves v Sadam Ali

    One suspects that Ali is a hype job and Chaves is the kind of fighter that would expose him if he is.

    Danny Garcia v Brandos Rios

    This would be an entertaining, if not lower skilled, than any of the other fights, and would establish who truly belongs in the top 10.

    Pacquiao vs. Brook - lets see if Pac is the best of the bunch and see if Brook is trending toward special like many claim; also a title fight for Pac who certainly deserves it

    Thurman vs. Khan - both have what many claim the other can't handle

    Bradley vs. Porter - because I think it'd be an ugly fight, yet an interesting one, between two brawlers who don't like moving backward; expect heads to crash

    Garcia vs. Ali - good test for both, answering two questions; is Garcia legit at WW and is Ali legit at world level?

    Chavez vs. Rios II - "unfinished business" and because they're two of the three least relevant at the moment
