Europeans still dominate the Super Middleweight division

You complete and utter twat.
How is it anti American to state a fact, a fact is that 3 of the 4 current world titles are occupied by Europeans. Thats not anti anything, thats fact fool

The Ring magazine seems very strange to me sometimes in its ratings.

You had Bute as the #1 SMW and Ward at #2 etc. Now for Ward to have gone to #2, he beat #1 Kessler and rightfully went above Kessler but Kessler is Wards only big win and overall Bute has a better resume than Ward even though not better than Froch or Kessler, so Bute became #1. Now Kessler beat Froch and was #3.
Froch beat Abraham coming off a loss and the Ring put Froch above Kessler after Froch had just lost to Kessler. Then Ward beat Bika a fighter Bute had beaten years previously and the Ring put Ward above Bute and made him #1.

Now this is where it seems strange to me.
The Ring is an American based magazine which understandably focuses on American fighters. Now America at this time have NO Ring champions.
Well chances are that the Super 6 final will be between Froch and Ward. Well the Ring sometimes lets the #1 against the #3 be for the Ring title.
It looks like the Ring has a plan in that if Ward was #2 and beat Froch at #3 he couldnt be a Ring champion and if Froch won he couldnt be either, but if they make Ward the #1 for no real reason other than for a win over Bika who Bute had already beaten they could make the winner the Ring champ and fight for their title.
The Ring had no reason to put Ward above Bute or Froch above Kessler. Ratings are supposed to be based on results.



This is why I have always preffered Boxing Monthlys more honest (in my opinion) ratings

1: Lucian Bute* (Canada), 28-0, IBF

2: Andre Ward, 24-0, WBA

3: Mikkel Kessler (Denmark), 44-2

4: Carl Froch (GB), 28-1, WBC

5: Glengoffe Johnson, 51-15-2

6: Kelly Pavlik, 37-2

7: Arthur Abraham (Armenia), 32-3

8: Sakio Bika (Cameroon), 28-5-2

9: Robert Stieglitz (Germany), 40-2, WBO

10: Dimitri Sartison (Kazakhstan), 27-1


They got the top 4 correct. How could The Ring put Froch above Kessler when back then Froch lost to Kessler so should be below, then beats Abraham coming off a loss and goes above just like that atsch:nut.

I dont hate Ward, though do think that with how he has to fight at home whilst all his opponents have travelled does make him seem a bit weak
