    Good top ten, although inverting Bute and Ward are ok with me (even if I'M a Bute fan)

    What would be your top 10 head to head?

    1. Ward
    2. Bute (His wins are rather bad, if he does not fight elite contenders soon he'll fall off, Ward, Kessler and Froch all have better wins at 168lbs.)
    3. Kessler
    4. Froch
    5. Dirrell
    6. Abraham
    7. Stieglitz
    8. Bika
    9. Green
    10. Andrade

    You cant have bute in the list he's still totally unproven tbh.
    Beating miranda means nothing miranda is so hot and cold and he was wild against bute and tbh before his glass jaw got hit he was bossing bute.

    Ok! few problems!
    Stieglitz got raped by Andrade
    Bika 6th? no way ...
    My top:
    1,2: Bute, Ward
    3. Kessler
    4,5,6:Dirrell, Froch, Abraham
    7. Andrade
    8.Bika
    9,10,11: Green, Miranda and Stiegliz at 168lb (Miranda beat Green at 162lb)

    1,2: Too close to call for now, maybe in 6-8 months we'll know!
    3: He has the most experience in the group and he beat Froch!

    4,5,6: 3 solid boxer, 3 different styles ... but 2nd graders (they could never be number one, they give trouble to the top 3 but can't beat them all)

    7: Because after seeing Andrade against Bute... he is the ****! Chef de classe of the 3rd graders, He beats any of them!
    8: Not really sure what do with him, he is probably badly managed, but has solid pedigree.
    9,10,11: Miranda beat Green at 162lb. And I assure you, Andrade destroys Green!

    Bute is a big question mark! So big we can choose to ignore it or to dare it.

    I'll open a thread on the top 3 SMW!

    Peace!

    You're right. I've edited my post.:good

    Have no issue with Froch at 3. Kessler is probably done anyway, unfortunately.

    Also, I'd say that the gap between Bute and Froch is small. There is a case for ranking Bute, Ward, Kessler/Froch any which way, right now. I don't even have a problem with:

    1. Ward
    2. Kessler
    3. Froch
    3. Bute

    ...the difference between these is small.

    Should have included Johnson too....

    ...sorry, guys! :(

    Can't wait to rate some of those guys on a H2H basis. I'm sick and tired of caomparing resumes and styles. In a year, we should know who the real boss is, not on paper but in the ring.
