    I think Bika beats most guys ranked lower than top5 of the division. He would probably be on equal ground with guys like Johnson who after two losses he gone down in rankings at #8 could beat Stieglitz and Oosthuizen #4 and #6 would beat Grooves #7 and Abraham #10, the only guy who probably beats him if he doesn't gets Ko'ed like against AA is Dirrell #9

    Could, would, should... I am not so sure. The fact is, that he has never beaten a top 10 fighter at SMW.

    Nice to hear opinions from fighters who have danced with the top talent in their respective divisions. I still think Calz vs Ward is a toss up and Dawson puts on an incredible performance vs Calz. Other than that Bika is a strong willed fighter and I enjoy watching him scrap. Bika vs Codringtion was an excellent rumble.

    you are missing (voluntary or not) another fact: Bika was beaten only by top 3 fighters at SMW :yep

    Good op.

    It might be obvious to say but Calzaghe adapating against Kessler in the mid rounds told me there and then he was better than i thought he was.

    Considering that Mr Versatility -who whooped your hero- himself didn't adapt to Bika, it's a fair feat. :lol:

    See rounds 7, 8 and 12 if you wanna make it a debate... ;)

    That's why your boy Kessler avoided 2 world champs in order to fight fight one of those you mentioned above.

    I don't rate Calzaghe's win over Kessler as High as some do. Kessler couldnt spar because of a badly injured hand that was surgically repaired afterwards. Lets face it. If Kessler was well (a rarity) and fought Joe in Copenhagen I'm quite sure he'd have won another couple of rounds to get the win.

    It is very common for boxers to fight with injuries. It's just that some speak louder about it than others.

    Yep Bika only fights top 10 fighters (and lose), when there is some sort of title on the line. Agreed that those fights have been against top competetors at the time.
