Manfredo is not top10 at 168lbs. Neither is Allan Green. You have to deserve your rankings. What has Manfredo and Green done to be top10? The answer is nothing. Even tho he is much less skilled. A guy like Alejandro Berrio is MUCH more deserving of a top10 ranking then these two.
I agree... Manfredo and Green would fill out the 10-20 spots for me. Being that this is a Bute thread, who fights out of Canada, can anyone please tell me anything that needs to be known about Pascal? Have never seen him fight, although I have heard a few good things. Has he done enough to be considered 10? Or would a guy like Tsypko or Brahmaer be rated above him? Both of them I've seen, and while good, not great.
Whether or not he beats Kessler or Calzaghe, Odo clearly has no idea about Mundine. He's a damn fighter. And a great one to watch, too. And seemingly improving all the time. I recommend to anyone to watch his recent fight against Soliman, if you already haven't, who most should know from his fight against Wright, his upcoming Contendor apperance, and his few other US fights... He got beatdown :yep
I agree with this thread. I haven't seen the Bika fight but I've seen about 5 other Bika fights, and think that he would get badly exposed against JC, of Kessler, and even Mundine. Bute's combinations are not quick enough, nor powerful enough to warrant any sort of fear to the top 3. He is still a good fighter though and should pick up a WT belt. Bute should be a good stepping stone for someone to take on either JC, or Kessler.
I think i will go with Ring magazine opinion rather then your uneducated Bias one. You haven't seen Mundine in some time have you?
Why are so many of you fond of Mundine ??? He's good but he sure ain't better than Bute..Sorry but no way !! We can make an easy case for Kessler and Calzaghe being superior overall but not Mundine !!!
