    I think Mundine would beat many ahead of him on that list but he doesnt really deserve to be rated ahead of them because he's done **** all in the last 2 years while the others have had tough fights.

    And that in a nutshell is my whole point , if mundine had been active v a decent standard of opponentrecently he would win . lose or draw be top teir @ # 4-5 . its his inactivitey v class that has relegated him to the level ive placed him , IM NO EXPERT by any means but this is the position many ive talked to about the fella has him at also , anyone who disagrees with this list are more than welcome to put theirs out for debate as i have done .

    I dont mind your list, though I'd have Joe and Mikkel above Bute at the moment.
    Obviously Joe is above everyone, but Kessler is in his class, just not as good.

    I'll give it a go...


    Calzaghe
    Kessler
    .....................................
    Bute
    Andrade
    Froch
    (never actually seen Pascal fight yet, so don't know where to put him)
    .......................................
    Bika
    Inkin
    Lacy
    Manfredo
    Tsypko
    .........................................


    Mundine had the potential to be at the top of the middle group, and considering that this SMW list is pretty strong, it wouldn't be such a bad achievement.

    I really need to see Mundine against a top 10 fighter to see just where he is at atm.

    Though I'm fairly sure he'd be able to beat guys like Bika, and Inkin now.
    Froch is another name I've always thought Mundine would beat, but as I said earlier, I don't really want to pick him until I see him in the ring with a decent opponent.

    Fair goes infact that in retrospect is a better one than i put up
    i can certainly agree with where you would place Mandy if he were more active in the division v Quality .

    Quality of opponent is important (Im a calzaghe fan and i should know as Joe fought a few less than stella opponents for a long time ) saying that when you take Pudwill and Manfredo off his resume it still ain't that bad a list , the likes of Brewer , Reid , Woodhall , Mitcheal etc were still World class level at the time . Ps Bute is there with Joe and Mikkel based on tha fact that he won a legit title and is taking on the dangerous Andrade in a defence .

    Very good match up this ,Andrade will lose but there won't be a lot in it ,Bute S/D or U/D Andrade will come out of the fight with his Rep intact Peck's .

    Ash , We don't know yet how Jermaine Taylor is going to fly at 168lbs , and is Mandy really not a S/Middle as he aint fought at Middle yet so thats why i included him . Dirrell is making some noise but he ain't even on the world class radar currently imo he has fought or beaten anyone of note mate .
