Fans are still waiting for him to announce who his May opponent will be but it's almost certain that it will be Amir Khan. While Khan may not get casual fans buzzing he has exceptionally fast hands along with good power. Khan should give a better showing than Canelo did, but Mayweather still seems unbeatable.
# 2 Andre Ward (27-0, 14 KO)So far his career in the ring is like his broadcast career, boring and straight to the point. Things could change soon due to the fact that he could face off against Carl Froch, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., or Gennady Golovkin all fights that would have fans buzzing. As of now it seems that Ward is to talented for his own good.
It is 99% certain that Martinez's next fight will be against Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden. Cotto looked rejuvenated in his last fight and should provide Martinez with a very tough test after a long layoff. This fight will either keep Martinez in the top 3 or drop him from the top 5.
# 4 Guillermo Rigondeaux (13-0, 8 KO)If any fighter needs the promotional cold war to end it's Rigondeaux. Golden Boy actually has some fighters who can challenge him but it looks like those fights won't happen. To make matters worse Bob Arum keeps telling everyone how Rigondeaux needs to change his style, and HBO wants nothing to do with him. But real fans love watching the perfection that is Rigondeaux.
His mandatory challenger is Alex Leapai in a fight no one wants to see. Klitschko hasn't looked very impressive lately but there doesn't seem to be a legit challenger to his thrown. The best thing for the heavyweight division and for Klitschko would be if one of the two American heavyweight contenders turns out to be the real deal and can give the boxing world a big time fight.
It is now official, Bradley's next fight will be a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. This will be a very big fight for Bradley as he sets out to prove to boxing fans that he actually did deserve the win when he fought Pacquiao in their first fight. A clear win over Pacquiao would bring Bradley to new heights in the sport.
He wanted a rematch with Timothy Bradley who he lost to in his last fight but lost out when Bradley decided to fight Pacquiao. Now Marquez is without a big name opponent and may have to wait for a long time unless he decides to fight the rugged Ruslan Provodnikov.
His next fight is set for April when he takes on Timothy Bradley for the second time. Pacquiao will be trying to prove that he did in fact beat Bradley in their first fight and a win would do a lot to show boxing fans that Pacquiao is back in top form, however a loss could be a disaster for his dwindling career.
# 9 Nonito Donaire (32-2, 21 KO)He was down on the cards in his last fight until he scored a big time TKO. His confidence should be back after that win and his power hasn't gone anywhere. There aren't many options for his next fight but a rematch with Guillermo Rigondeaux wouldn't be out of the question considering it would be a big fight for both of them.
His next fight will be in March against Mauricio Herrera in a fight that will be a step down from when he fought Lucas Matthysse. Garcia doesn't yet have a huge following but he makes every fight difficult and could be in the top 10 for a long time. Hopefully a rematch with Matthysse happens in 2014 so we can see just how talented each fighter is.
