He will remain in the top spot as long as he keeps winning and makes it look so easy. With a Pacquiao win last Saturday the talk of a possible fight between the two should start to gain momentum again.
He stepped back into the ring after a year of inactivity and looked as sharp as ever. He easily handled the previously undefeated Edwin Rodriguez and an even bigger fight should be coming in the near future.
No word yet on who he will fight next or when he will get back into the ring. However if he hopes to remain in the top three he will need to look more impressive than he did against Martin Murray.
After some posturing from HBO about putting his defense first, counter punching style on TV they finally relented and he will be back in the ring on December 7th against Joseph Agbeko.
He won't be in the top five for long if he keeps churning out performances like he did against Alexander Povetkin. His title reign has been one of the best ever but his legacy may not be remembered so highly.
His style doesn't always look pretty but it is always effective. Rumors of a rematch with Manny Pacquiao have been heating up and with the controversy after their first fight it would certainly be welcomed.
After a close loss to Timothy Bradley, his future in the sport remains in question. There doesn't seem to be many big fights left for him unless he chooses to fight Manny Pacquiao for a fifth time.
Fans will need to wait and see just how much he really has left. He looked good against Brandon Rios but things could be different against a Floyd Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, or Timothy Bradley.
He was behind on the cards against Vic Darchinyan until he scored a brutal 9th round TKO. He didn't look very confident to start the fight however which is why he has dropped one spot in the rankings.
He had an impressive win over Lucas Matthysse his last time in the ring. That along with Carl Froch looking bad last Saturday are the reasons he was able to finally crack the rankings.
