#1 Floyd Mayweather
He holds the top spot until he loses and September 14th will be a dangerous test for him
#2 Andre Ward
He needs to get back to action and should return to the ring in November, however don't expect any big name opponents, it will be more of a tune up fight for him
#3 Sergio Martinez
For now he is in the top three but he is holding on for dear life and if his last fight is any indication on the future he won't be long for the top five
#4 Juan Manuel Marquez
Even though he is now 40 years old he continues to fight the best in the world and a tough battle against Timothy Bradley lies ahead
#5 Wladimir Klitschko
He will face his toughest opponent in two years when he fights Alexander Povetkin in October in a fight that could see a changing of the guard
#6 Guillermo Rigondeaux
His future remains uncertain, he is one of the best defensive counter punchers in the world but doesn't make for exciting television which may hurt his career
#7 Nonito Donaire
When he finally gets back into the ring he should pick up where he left off as a top fighter the question is whether there are any big fights to be made with him
#8 Manny Pacquiao
He is taking on tough as nails Brandon Rios following a KO loss to Marquez and this fight could either salvage or end his historic career
#9 Timothy Bradley
Already with one Fight of the Year candidate for 2013 he could find himself in another one when he takes on Marquez in the fall
#10 Carl Froch
He is in this slot mainly by default since Abner Mares just got KO'ed but he may not be here long with a ton of younger fighters sitting in the 11th slot
