    So you listed the European fighters that are seen as number ones as dominate but the Americans that are seen as number ones as others??? there is no biased there. Also PR is the US weather they LIKE to admitt it or not.

    And which one is universally seen as no. 1? Not Dawson. Pavlik is the closest, but Abraham has as good a claim. It is a two-horse race still. The three Europeans that dominate are clearly no. 1 and have been for a while. Under others, I even forgot Haye and Vitaly and probably others as well.

    Cotto is latinoamerican. Bute is Romanian.

    :lol: Ridiculous post. How isnt Paul Williams and Miguel Cotto current generation. Oh and Paul Williams is dominant. Probably the best fighter in the world in 3 weight classes. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, they are our property.

    And sorry but Adamek, Kessler and Froch arent dominate. Adamek has already lost to a top American, and needed 3 knock downs to beat Steve Cunningham who I feel won that fight. Kessler hasnt fought anybody. And Froch needed a last second knock out to beat middleweight Jermain Taulor.

    btw, Bute is Canadian.

    Point is our best beats your best easily. Even leaving out Mosley(who is the current best welter in the world) and Hopkins. Based on resume's and skill its not close. Your saving grace is the heavyweight division.

    3 Americans in the top 10 P4P. 1 Puerto Rican. No Euro's. And thats without Chad Dawsona and WIlliams who have already accomplished alot.

    there is no such thing as latino American. :lol: He is puerto rican. Which makes him automatically from birth an American citizen who is subject to our laws. Bute fights out of Canada. But ok, you can have Bute. I mean its not like Cotto isnt a vastly superior fighter P4P anyway.

    P4P is an American invention and completely useless in a discussion like this.

    Did I say that? :rasta

    Look at the poll among ESB boxing fans. You will see that even if the American P4P thinks Dawson is higher ranked than Kessler (and Dawson is at LHW and KEssler at SMW, so Dawson ought to easily win), the vast majority disagree with that American-biased view and think that Kessler would win.

    Hard to understand for an American, but you could try?

    You implied it clown. The Ring Magazine is actually latino biased, as to why accomplished fighters like Williams and Dawson arent on the list, and VAsquez and Marquez are. No matter, nobody is going to rate Kessler and Froch anywhere near a top 10 P4P. :lol:

    Thats because they are clowns like you. If this fight were to be made Dawson would be the overwhelming betting favorite.

    Come on clown, tell me again how Williams, Cotto, and Dawson arent elite and Kessler is. :rofl

    Kessler beat Mundine...You didnt know??? that win alone makes him a ATG..Well it almost has to since many European fans believe that he is and that is really the only good win he has, that and Andrade.

    You mean Anthony "The man" Mundine? The same Mundine that beat Crazy Kim and Nader "Lionheart" Hamdan?

    Holy ****! Move over Pacquiao and Mayweather. Kessler is the numero uno!

    Well, you are obviously beyond reach. You and a few others.

    While that is sad, it is good to know that the majority uses their heads before their hearts when judging boxing.

    Kessler is a good fighter. I hope to see him fight again soon.
