    This will be controversial: Pacman's next fight will be 'within' the 147 limit and Roach has said there are no interesting future fights at 140....:think:yep

    I don't mind creating these threads because it creates some good debate - plus 600 views in under 15 hours is pretty good, meaning people are interested in the thread :good

    168
    CHAMP: Named after tourney?
    1-Kessler
    2-Froch
    3-Bute
    4-Taylor
    5-Bika
    6-Andrade
    7-Dirrell
    8-Ward
    9-Balzsay
    10-Green

    AA gets ranked after he first officially competes at 168.

    Thoughts?

    :goodI agree with the top 6 and champ. It's hard to rank the others as you could make a case for swapping them all around:think. There's a fine line between ranking someone on potential and achievement.

    I'd move taylor down below andrade and bika based on what hes done at supermiddleweight so far

    i'd move troy ross to number 10 and afolabi to number 9.

    That said, he was 14 seconds away from beating Froch and did beat a 'decent' 168lbr in Lacy.

    true, but i always think of a loss as a loss.

    i guess it doesn't matter too much as the tournement should clear up the rankings over the next year. the rest of the list looks ok
