Mundine and Winky will have to wait... and fight meanwhile. Geale and Zbik only fight goomer opponents... no world ranking for them... Miranda will drop several places on the Pan-Am list... while Eastman barely makes it at all... Quillin will make entry... Meanwhile, VHB represents it´s new BALTIC ratings: 1. Asikainen, FIN 2.

The top 5 are ok, but thereafter it seriously lacks depth. Pav, AA, Mundine, Sturm and Winky is an ok top 5. Thereafter it is lacking.
Kelly Pavlik over AA, other than that not too bad.... People forget... Pavlik had a lot going against him at 170 vs BHOP... at 160 he is a totally different beast. at 168 I can see AA possibly getting a TKO but no way will he do what BHOP did to him..

I still don't see how 1 loss at a completely different weight-class puts AA over Kelly Pavlik .... AA remains #2, every viable source has KP the Middle Weight world champ... stop being Bias. AA is a solid 2 and could very well beat Pavlik, but until he does... HE IS NOT #1
I think he is. I think he has demonstrated his greatness better. Pavlik´s so-called greatness is based on thrashing Miranda, that Arthur did even quicker, and beating Taylor, who punched himself out in 2 rounds at the first time, and on the rematch seemed to be over-respective towards Pavlik. Arthur has been world champion for 3 years, Pavlik 1 year. Arthur has beaten a BUNCH of contenders. Most by brutal KO.
