    Mundine should not be in that list. He's a middleweight now.

    whatever, so what if he does what Pavlic has already done and look at him now reduced to fighting the Rubios and Moras and next I bet Duddy's of the world. Had he any real nads Froch might fight Hopkins or Dawson or Glenncoffe Johnson or Tarver . No pizzaz for these as Froch has done ****all his whole carrer and means 0 and such fights interest no one in venues where it counts.

    Kessler has fought the best fighter on either guy's resume in Calzaghe. Yes Taylor has the two wins over Hopkins, but other than that he hasn't beaten better competition than Kessler has. Plus, he has got knocked out by a guy who was, until that point, a mere contender and isn't a proven super middleweight.

    Sure they would but that's not the point. Those are guys who are fighting solely for money. Froch is not, he is a world champ and it's about his career. Taylor is a big risk and Froch could easily have avoided him and fought a few weaker opponents or insisted the fight took place in England. He didn't, he is going to the States to take on one of the top contenders in the division in his own backyard. Gets my respect.

    Froch has my full respect, he doing something Joe.C never done that is going over the pond to fight fighter in their prime and put his WBC title on the line.

    Good Luck Cobra :good

    And you would agree with Andrade being the 3rd best 168 in the world would you? Above Taylor, above Bika, above Inkin/Balzsay.

    You now that list is bull****, so don't bring it up.

    I think Andrade is too high at 3 myself. Though you could argue him above Bika and Inkin, he should be below Taylor and Froch (plus Mundine if you still class him as a super middle). However, the rest of the list is fairly OK. Andrade has only lost to the top two guys and would have a shot at wearing Taylor down though I wouldn't favour him.

    Yes he is and i am beginning to warm to him.

    Having said that he needs to let the fact that Calzaghe hasnt fought him go. He should have made more waves sooner in his career.
