    Maybe I just haven't seen enough of him to make a proper judgment, but would anyone else consider sticking Serge Yannick near there? He's started to impress me his last few fights. I'd definitely have Sakio Bika ahead of Green and possibly Dib and Katsidis (who seems really faded to me at this point). Or do those guys not really count? If not, why does Vic and not those guys though?

    I'd probably go more like:

    1) Vic
    2) Geale
    3) Bika
    4) Katsidis
    5) Dib

    After that, probably Mundine, Green, Ben Rabah, Yannick and Omotoso (who's the most talented of the whole lot, but needs to start fighting live bodies). Bika might be controversial, but he's held his own against the best in one of the strongest weight classes, and if he could get the fights, I have little doubt he could beat guys like Stieglitz and Abraham.

    Am I way off base here, as a non-Aussie who ends up catching most of their fights on Youtube?
