    Looking at Daniel Geale's record and don't see anything special about it. Any reason apart from bs politcs why boxrec considers him the 5th best midleweight in the world?

    Boxrec uses some bogus points system, they're ratings don't count for anything.

    I really don't understand this crappy division apart from Pavlik and Abraham being the elite and Sturm being behind them. Who would you put in your top 10 then?

    No idea, but the division has a promising future. N'Jikam, Golovkin and Andy Lee are not only solid up and comers but have alot of amateur experience. Mundine is decent and sadly Sturm doesn't seem intent on fighting anyone decent. If Winky puts on a solid performance next week he may be able to put in a couple more good fights at MW. Paul Williams is a possibility but is all over the place.

    #1 Kelly Pavlik
    #2 Winky Wright
    #3 Arthur Abraham
    #4 Paul Williams
    #5 Felix Sturm
    #6 Anthony Mundine
    #7 Roman Karmazin ( current NABF titlist)

    (I have no argument with anyone who wants to rearrange Winky, Arthur, and Paul.)

    After #7 I have NO IDEA how the rest ought to be ranked.

    His resume is decent but boxrec.com has him at 3 or 4 I think and thats to high. He should be right outside of the top 10, maybe 10 or 9 tops.
