    Now that Kess has reclaimed the WBA super middle, does he desrve to go into the top ten P4P, He's clearly the main man at Super middle now joe has gone, i'll put him in around 8.

    Not Yet, no.

    He lies at 14th for me.

    He has the potential to be. I have not done a list in a bit but he is 15-20 for me.

    In terms of skill yes, but I have him around 10-15.

    NO. And along he's my favourite boxer.

    He's not clearly the man at 168.
    Right now he isn't in the top20 p4p.

    Ask this question again if he beats Bute and Taylor (and maybe Pavlik).

    Not for me, if he beats some top contenders though and shows signs of domination and being back to his best then he will probably move up to top 10.

    What is everyone's p4p top 10 out of interest? I'm having trouble deciding mine, I don't know who to put in now that Floyd's left and can't decide between JC and Pacman at #1. I've got JC, Pacman, JMM, Mijares, Cotto, Vasquez, Pavlik and Guzman but don't know who else to put in.

    He is easily the man at 168, by a mile. i know Taylor had his last fight there but when did Taylor and Pavlik anounce they were now fighting permanent at 168?! Maybe Kess needs to beat bute you say, but he's fought and with the exception of Joe beat everyone who held a major title at 168, he's easily the man at 168. If he fought Bute and Froch, and won, p4p no 1 imho.

    I have him just outside, if he performs well and beats a decent name he could creep in on mine.

    I am a big fan, but I am also a big critic. I dont even wanna talk about this now.
    The way he did against Sartison, I dont even want to rate him.
    Put him back to where he was when he fought Lucas or Andrade, and then we can talk.

    The more I think about, the more disappointed I am about his performance in his last fight. Havent seen him so bad in years.

    P4p no. 1? No, I think he would need more than that. IF he beats Taylor and Bute he is easily top 10. If he beats Pavlik he is top 5.

    yeah bit harsh from a big fan. surely if you were such a big fan you would understand that after such a big loss against the legend of the division he does need a few fights to get back to where he was. He did the business Sat night, he did what he needed to. Brilliant fighter and i'm sure he'll rule SMW for a long time to come.

    Kessler is somewhere between 12-18 I think. His win over Sartison didn't do much. He needs to beat Buté, Pavlik, Taylor, Calzaghe or someone like them to break into the top 10.

    He isn't far off the top 10, but not yet IMO.

    11-15 for me.
