Who's the best fighter in the world after Pacquiao-Bradley III?

Manny Pacquiao defeated Timothy Bradley on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. All three judges at ringside scored the bout 116-110 for Pacquiao, who earned the vacant lineal welterweight championship.

In what might be his final fight, Pacquiao made history by becoming the first professional fighter to win five lineal championships in a career and the third to capture one in at least three of boxing's original eight divisions.

But did he do enough to take over the No. 1 spot in the world on Bleacher Report's Top 25? And where is Bradley ranked after the loss?

Bleacher Report presents the top pound-for-pound fighters in boxing. As with all pound-for-pound lists, fighters are ranked on the fairly subjective criteria of the opposition they've faced as well as their willingness (as perceived) to face elite competition. Special emphasis is placed on how fighters have performed over the last calendar year, though historical accomplishments are also a factor.
