ESB Rankings Vote - Who is the number 1 Super Middleweight

question wasn't who was the best SMW resume.

 

But when ranking them that is the thing that you take into consideration more than anything.

 

actually based on Froch's resume, it would suggest that he deserves to be ranked around the same spot as Dirrell or Taylor would, since he barely beat those guys.

 

Exactly. I picked Bute, but would pick any of the others just as easily. What an awesome division we have on our hands, and the Super Six just spices it up so ****ing much. Savour this while it lasts.

 

:roll:

 

Frock

 

I would say ward or bute. Abraham fought a shot Taylor, even though I was impresse by the overall package I do believe Taylor had gotten ko'd the fight before by froch. As far as froch is concerned, he will have a very short career. As far as I'm concerned henlost to dirrel. He simply cannot box. He has the heart of a lion and a. Self image that borders kn delusional not to mention brutal power. But dirrel didn't take one flush shot, and I can't see how u when a fight when u don't land. That being said bute looks great right now and ward beat the man in kessler.

 

It is the most important factor but you have to look beyond the black and white of a resume. Froch almost lost to Taylor. He looked bad in the first 6 rounds of that fight. He was stiff and missed often. I think he lost to Dirrell. It was a close fight but again Froch did not look good. He looked easy to hit and could not find Dirrell. Dirrell lost that fight by not having any balls. Either way Froch did not impress. The fight against Pascal was entertaining and Froch looked pretty good. However, I am undecided on how good either Dirrell or Pascal or going to be. On the other hand Ward beat Kessler and looked good doing it even with the rough stuff. Abraham beat Taylor more impressively then Froch did. Bute always looks good with the exception of the last round against Andrade. So I put Froch behind all three of them. But like others have said, they all have some good fights coming up and the outcomes of those fights will answer all of these questions.

 

Agree with this. It's impossible to pick.

**** it. Joe Calzaghe is still the best SMW! :happy

 

I voted Froch as I think he has the best resume right now. With the Super 6 going on the SMW ranking are going to move a lot.

One of the most interesting divisons in boxing right now.

 

Froch is top 3 for sure, no doubt that can u disregard him from that.

 

But the S6 doesn't change Bute's position does it? I mean his best opposition is gone so would his stock fall.

 

1. Bute
2. Froch
3. Kessler

BUT: If we don't talk about achievements, then this would be my Top3:

1. Abraham
2. Bute
3. Ward

 

Lmfao..lucian bute..lol...carl froch..wow...andre ward beats both of em relally

 

Bute is top?

What would you rather have on your resume with regards to world title fights?
Andrade, Joppy, Berrio and Zuniga or,
Pascal, Taylor and Dirrel?

I guess you guys are ranking on potential rather than resume.
