    Personally I think it's Chad Dawson. I like him and can see his potential, but I think he's being crowned way too early for P4P material...even breaking some people's top 6!!!

    As I see it, he hasn't even proven himslef the man in a very weak division (granted, not his fault B-Hop wont fight him) and I had his fight with Johnson a draw. Good win over Adamek but the Tarver fights meant very little to me as I never rated him very highly at his peak and he was way past that when they fought.

    What sets him apart from the likes of Wlad, Juanma, Soto, Bradley, Kessler, Valero etc is beyond me!! And I mean no hate here, I see him breaking the top 10 one day but I can't see any justification for it right now!!!

    Well said, ive always felt Dawson gets too much credit for his wins over Tarver who's only claim to fame is knocking out Roy, I agree that Dawson will probably be the Number 1 Light Heavyweight in the future but the division is lacking great fighters

    Carl Froch, Im all for my own country men when it comes to boxing (I even voted for Hatton in the Pacman fight :patsch) but Froch has no skill at all, he was being beaten by Taylor and was lucky Taylors stamina is awful, he will get found out badly in this tournement if he faces Kessler

    Im Kessler fan and i have to agree Mikkel is a bit over rated nowadays based on he has done a **** for a looong time.. I know Mikkel has huge Ability but he has to show it in the ring not in talks..

    How an earth is Abraham over rated? Guy just picked up vacant belt at middleweight, defended it, wanted to fight best in the division which is Pavlik but Pavlik did NOT have any sort of balls to face AA. Now AA is going at SMW to face BIGGER names to test himself, wanting to face the BEST.:huh

    If you beleive that I reckon you should head down the bookies, you would get a good price. Personally I can see AA knocking JT out.

    I am not saying that Abraham doesn't have balls, I just think people rate him far too highly considering the opponents he has faced - not one big name on his record - he has never faught anyone in the same class as Jermain Taylor - I can see an easy Taylor points victory, too much movement & speed for AA.

    Yes I heard JT is 2/1 to beat AA in some bookies - definetly worth a couple of quid - just hope he has the stamina for it.
