It should come as a shock to no one that Mayweather remains on the top of this list. Until he losses or retires he will probably stay on top. First however he will need to once again beat Marcos Maidana in their September 13th rematch.
Ward remains in the two spot but if he doesn't get back in the ring soon he will start dropping in the rankings. Ward hasn't fought since November of 2013 and there is still no word on when he will fight next. Many exciting fighters have been calling Ward out and fans are starting to get restless.
Rigondeaux seemed to give a big middle finger to Top Rank & HBO who have criticized his defense first style when he scored a first round knockout in his most recent bout. That was his last fight with Top Rank & HBO and big fights could be in his future, especially if he jumps ship to Golden Boy.
Klitschko has shown no signs of slowing down as he gets older and he should look good when he takes on Kubrat Pulev on September 6th. Things could get interesting for him soon though as there seem to be a rise of heavyweight prospects on the horizon.
The next fight for Pacquiao is set and fans are not to pleased. Pacquiao will be facing off against Chris Algieri in November of this year in a fight most people think will be easy for the Filipino fighter. If Pacquiao wins that fight expect the talk of a Mayweather showdown to heat up again possibly for May of 2015.
Bradley doesn't always make it look pretty but he had won every fight of his career until his rematch against Manny Pacquiao in April of this year. Bradley didn't fight intelligently in that bout and should be back to his winning ways whenever he makes his return to the ring.
The legendary Mexican fighter has still not decided if he will continue boxing or retire but chances are that he will fight on. Marquez looked very impressive against Mike Alvarado in his last bout and if he decides to continue his career look for him to have a big fight in Mexico in front of his hometown fans.
There is little doubt that Garcia is one of the best in the sport. He can outbox an opponent or simply knock them out. The problem for Garcia is staying active. He has sued promotional company Top Rank and he may not step back into the ring until 2015.
Cotto has been a stud in his two most recent bouts and some big fights could be in his near future. It seems that everyone wants a piece of Cotto and the payday that comes with it and recently there has been rumors against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. or Gennady Golovkin who recently called the Puerto Rican fighter out.
Making his debut in the rankings Golovkin has been tearing through opponents. His most recent opponent Daniel Geale was supposed to be the toughest challenge of his career and Golovkin knocked him out in the 3rd round. Golovkin is now looking for a big time fight and said he will fight anywhere from 154-168 for a big PPV opportunity and has talked about matchups with Floyd Mayweather or Miguel Cotto.
