    not on achievements.. just whos the top 10 right now...

    1 Andre Ward ( if he's still a super middle)
    2 Fedor Chudinov( very underrated beast who dominated Sturm)
    3 Arthur Abraham ( back on form)
    4 Badou Jack (very underrated solid guy)
    5 Martin Murray
    6 Callum Smith
    7 James Degale
    8 Andre Dirrell
    9 Felix Sturm
    10 George Groves

    I think Groves& Sturm are shot but I couldnt think of anyone else, & Steiglitz is past it I think, haven't seen Ramirez yet and I don't rate Rocky Fielding..
    Its a decent divison but after like the top 8 guyx it gets weak in the rankings... the division lacks depth....

    who's your top 10 ?

    Groves would be near the top if it wasnt for the Cobra

    Ward isnt a 168 fighter anymore

    i got Andre Dirrell somewhere near the top. he really redeemed himself vs de Gale

    Guess I'll have to wait to see the replay since I wasn't able to watch the card last night. What makes you think he would beat him? If there's one thing that I could see why, it's DeGale's inactivity during rounds-severe lack of activity I guess you could say, especially the Dirrell fight.

    Martin Murray and Callum Smith ahead of Degale in the OP, laughable list

    :?

    DeGale beat him clearly, fair & square...

    I don't see how anyone could rate Dirrell higher.

    DeGale is also a gasser. If Jack can avoid those left hands, he'll win handily. Jack is a better boxer than DeGale is. From what I've seen.

    Take him into deep water and drown his ass. :hey

    It would have been even clearer if DeGale decided not to **** off during the middle rounds.

    Without the 2 Knockdowns it would have been a draw, I can't stand Dirrell and like DeGale a lot better but in terms of pure skill I think Dirrell is slightly superior.....but not much


    :deal
