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 .
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.
1. Ward- Until someone beats him he is at the top! 2. Bute- i still have??? bout him. but based on skills he is #2 now 3. Froch- Warrior 4. Kessler- he beat a Tomato can. not sure how much he has left 5. Pavlik- Beat an Unknown. But would beat anyone listed UNDER him for sure! 6. Johnson- His time has run out 7. Glitz 8. Bika- Inactive- lost every meaningful fight 9. Mcgee- Solid fighter 10. Pyror Jr.
What? You scoring this on point spread per fight? GTFOH!! You got Kessler rated above Frock? That's Bull diarrhea ! It stinks..:-( Is that what they do on BoxRec to get those lame results? 1) Ward 2) Froch 3) Kessler 4) Bute (I'm be gracious here) 5) Stieglitz 6) Dirrell 7) Johnson 8 Pavlik 9) Bika
easily the best division in boxing atm!... looking forward to dirrell and kessler getting back in the mix.
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.
