    Zuniga
    Andrade
    Froch
    Inkin
    Bika
    and before anyone asks Joe C is not included as I think we all consider him a LHW now
    I'm not sure he beats any of them...Your thoughts mates:think

    Yes, I'd say he has decent chances against them, except Kessler, Bute & Mundine.
    Edison Miranda has good chances against guys with a poor defense (Froch) and people that likes to brawl (Bika) because of his power.

    He does not beat Kessler or Bute. He beats Mundine, Zuniga, Froch, Inkin, Bika, Andrade.

    My only real question mark on the list was Froch as I havent seen that much of him...as far as the others.. I'd give them a better chance of beating Miranda than he beating any of them:good Miranda needs to focus and hone the fundamentals before beating any of them...Just trodding forward hoping for the bomb won't always work
    Zuniga would floor his ass quick(apparently none of you have seen him fight)
    KOs Andrade? Not a chance in hell

    Out of this bunch he will have his toughest assignment agaist Kessler, but I still give him a chance. He needs to keep sharpening his skills and he could probably reing at 168lbs for a while.

    Froch is a class act. Often gets criticised for having a **** defence, but to be fair, hasn't been tested so we don't know. His opponents so far have been so outclassed that he just keeps his left hand low to allow room to manoevre. I think he has it in him to go all the way - but should ****ing get on with it, nearly 31 now!

    I'm willing to bet he ends up at LHW before we know it. It was reported he didn't even make the 168 limit against David Banks recently, but Banks agreed to fight him anyway.

    Once again people can we stop hyping Kessler based on the fact that he's a castaway in the road of boxing for Joe C.....For me Kessler is a big question mark...due mainly to the mental breakdown suffered at the fists of Joe....the "look" of Mikkel and Lacy are identical during their fight with Joe.....Long inactivity is not good either when trying to re-establish your confidence...So we must be sure Kessler hasnt contracted "Lacy's Disease" before we recindle too much faith in him...I wish him the best of luck:good
