    These lists from American journalists make me laugh. It's like they write down 20 American/Hispanic fighters then realise boxing isn't just a North American sport and randomly place some European/Asian fighters.

    They're really saying that Ward deserves to be ahead of Froch?

    Williams is way to high specially when you consider that many think he lost his last fight,probably the most overrated fighter in boxing.

    Probably because Froch almost lost to Taylor(who's washed up), and Dirrell(who's fought nobody). Those are 2 of his top wins.

    Taylor had only lost to Pavlik when he fought Froch so would hardly call him washed up then, Also went to Taylors back yard to do so,

    Beat and had a toe to toe war with WBC light heavy champ Pascal (who was the undefeated)

    Beat Andre Dirrell (who was also undefeated)

    Wards best win is Kessler who he had to elbow and headbut his way to win, not to mention he had home advantage, who else has he fought? Miranda then who? he has two notable wins thats it, one is overated because he fouled time and time again.

    Plus Froch is coming off all those wins back to back.

    Froch deserves to be higher and there is no debate.

    Israel Makes this list despite the fact that he is a punch away from serious brain damage

    PW is too high on the list

    Chad Dawson is overrated in a weak division.
