    168 resume rankings, depending of the way you see wins e.g. black & white beat someone or actually assess the quality of the win...

    1/2 - Ward / Froch
    3/4 - Bute / Kessler
    5/6 - Pavlik / Johnson
    7/8 - Andrade / Bika
    9/10 - Stieglitz / Magee

    H2H rankings based on my observations and styles, obviously...

    1. Bute
    2. Ward
    3. Kessler
    4. Froch
    5. Healthy-but-past-it Pavlik
    6. Johnson
    7. Bika
    8. Stieglitz
    9. Oosthuizen
    10. Magee

    I don't rate Dirrell's because I now have my doubts on Anthony, and always believed we wouldn't see Andre on tv again ever since the stunts he pulled on Showtime . :lol:

    Which 5?

    Bute was champ rematching Andrade and improving at every fight. You tell me how green Ward, Dirrell, shot gassing Taylor, midget ninja turtle Abrahamgelo who's jaw got shattered by Miranda or Froch who had fought a close fight with Magee until the TKO and who had been KD by MW post-Pavlik Taylor?

    1 man, Kessler, was a stud at the time. Could have probably handled Bute better than he could now e.g. had a substantially better chance to win vs Bute at the time.

    Rest of them vs 2009 Bute who KTFO Andrade, a guy prime Kessler couldn't put in trouble?!?? Gimme a fukkin break. :hi:

    Kessler and Bute above Froch? I am a Bute fan but at this point of time Froch is only surpassed in SMW by Ward.

    There is no firm evidence whatsoever to place Ward and Bute above Froch.

    don't be a fool. froch won the fight because dirrell landed very few punches whilst running away. so he was both negative and ineffective. since then dirrell got knocked out by abraham and although he won the fight he has spent the last year having supposed brain scans. whilst froch has beaten johnson, abraham and lost a close controversial decision against kessler in denmark.

    plus froch had already beaten taylor and pascal. dirrell needs to beat at least two guys in the top 5 to be ranked above froch.

    jesus christ, bute's best win is against johnson and he's being ranked above froch!! froch has 5 big wins and the johnson one is probably his least impressive.

    are people forgetting froch had already beaten taylor and pascal before the tourney had even happened? plus the fact he won every round against abraham.
