I'll hope Dirrell get's eliminated because i would love to see your faces when Bute will win that match.
Dirrell is by far the most talented fighter in the smw division. Fantastic attributes and he's still so green.
Hard to tell, but I tend to agree you are right if you are talking about natural abilities. However, he is still green.
I think its hard to rank them right now but if i was forced i suppose 1 - Ward (excellent display against Kessler, Miranda) 2 - Kessler (Andrade, Froch) 3 - Froch (Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, close Kessler fight) 4 - Dirrell (AA, close froch fight) 5 - Bute 6 - AA (Taylor, Miranda) That to me is how i rank the major players right now... but tomorrow my list would probably be different and the day after that something else. i think its hard right now to rank these guys. Cant wait for more of these fights to play out. The Super Six is the only reason this is possible and is the best thing to happen in boxing imo since ive been in the sport even with its controversies.... cant wait for the next fights. :good
Based on accomplishments - KESSLER (UD Mundine, TKO Lucas, UD Andrade, UD Froch) - FROCH (UD Pascal, SD Direll, TKO Taylor) - WARD (UD Kessler, UD Miranda) - ABRAHAM (UD Miranda, TKO Miranda, KO Taylor) - BUTE (KO Andrade, KO Miranda, UD Bika) - DIRELL (DQ Abraham) Based on skill I see: TOP Skills: WARD, BUTE, DIRELL GOOD Skills: KESSLER, ABRAHAM, FROCH
Anyone who ranks Dirrell in the top three should say they do a H2H ranking. Dirrell has 2 notable fights, he lost one and won the other. His win is against a guy who still hasn't done much in the division, apart than bating a shot Taylor. Dirrell was not even in the top 10 when the tournament began.You guys are buying the Showtime hype...
I completely agree with this list :good Ward's number 1 simply because he beat Kessler. People putting Dirrell at number 2 are crazy. He lost to Froch, a questionable loss yes but still a loss as far as rankings are concerned.
