    I'm still largely happy with mine. I'd probably make one change, I was definitely too high on Froch. Swap him and Andrade, last night again reflected pretty well on Andrade, plus Froch has actually done very little!

    I think I'll swap Andrade and Froch, but other than that, I still feel pretty good about this top 10. :good

    At this point it's not that clear,I''ll have to wait and see Froch vs Taylor.
    But here I try:
    Kessler
    Bute
    Taylor
    Andrade
    Bika
    Froch
    Balzsay
    Inkin

    I woulk take Froch over Andrade though, but Andrade did more, its right.

    I don't think Andrade could atke Froch's bomb and keep coming. He would keep him honest.
    Bute and Kessler arent the puncher that Froch is. And Froch has an iron chin too.

    Kessler
    Taylor
    Bute
    Andrade
    Inkin

    You rate Lacy higher than Pascal .... Who is Frochs best win.. But Taylor still below Froch. :patsch

    Judging by your avatar I don't really expect objectivity.

    Way I see it theres only 5 super middleweights who bring excitment into the ring.

    Kessler

    Taylor

    Bika

    Bute

    Andrade

    p.s. Froch dont come into the eqausion until he actually does something and Lacy needs to beat someone good after his loss to Calzaghe

    ...on the basis of the Andrade fight, I am tempted to put Tsypko into the top 10, but I'm not completely sure he belongs there...still...anyone not in my Top 5 I'm not sure belongs there either...
    ...I am also not sure whether Tsypko could get up for a fight as much as he did for the Andrade fight...

    The top three, I'm very certain about...after that, things are not so clear...

    Other likely top 10 fighters:

    Froch
    Balzsay
    Tsypko
    Inkin

    If Ward performs well and beats a Miranda that perfoms well, he is a likely top 10 fighter too, in my book.

    So, what's your Top 10?
