if it was down to personal preference i’d have Devon Alexander number 1 but i think realistically, all bias aside, Bradley slightly surpasses Alexander’s level of opposition faced
1.) Devon Alexander
2.) Tim Bradley
3.) Amir Khan
4.) Victor Ortiz
5.) Marcos Maidana
although Maidana beat Ortiz i still think Ortiz is an all round better fighter, plus i’d say his opposition has been slightly better
EDIT: as this is more down to personal choice rather than an actual proper ranking i’ve changed it and made Alexander my number 1 and Bradley number 2

1. Marcos Maidana
2. Timothy Bradley
3. Devon Alexander
4. Amir khan
5. Andreas Kotelnik
Honarable mentions: Juan Urango, Victor Ortiz, Zab Judah.
even though I felt Andreas won his fight against Devon and made him look bad, Devon knocked out a highly regarded (in my book) brawler in Juan Urango.
Watched him get off the canvas after recieving a shot from Randall “The Knock-Out King” Bailey, Eating flush shot from Berto all night… Well it spoke volumes about his heart and ability to take a punch. even though I think Devon got lucky with a perfectly place upper. juan was coming for him and was going to catch up to him. but he got caught and credit goes to Devon for that.

Alexander-bad night again Kotelnik but still the best
Bradley-lacks a ko punch but the rest is solid
Maidana-personal fave but limited brawler
Ortiz-exciting and willing to fight the best with out kicking and screaming
Khan-decent skills but unproven against punchers and all mouth. Cant wait for marcos to stop him.

5. Ajose Olusegun
Tim’s reasonably easy to rank in the top spot. His overall record eclipses those around him, but on pure ability I found it difficult to choose between him and Alexander. Khan’s not too far behind, and Maidana is about on a par with him too in terms of results.
Olusegun has the potential to beat all of these guys, but is all too often overlooked, and has found opportunities very very limited.
This is probably down to his showboating against poor opponents and lack of fans, but I think he should have been up fighting for a world title or at least on the fringes of it at least 4-5 years ago.
He hasn’t progressed since then, because additionally, and quite simply noone wants to face him.
