Were do you rate bika and how do you think he would fare against Abraham - draw Kessler - win Ud Direll - win late round tko Ward - loss ud Froch - loss ko Bute - loss ud Taylor - win ko what do you guys think? Is he a legit contender or just a pretender? I honestly beleive alot of the top guys are ducking him....
I think he is a really hard guy to look good against, but not a truly great fighter himself. I'd put him in the top ten, which isn't bad considering how packed the division is with talent.
Top five, I don't think. Solid ten maybe. Tough as nails. Definitely not a pretender. He could definitely win a piece of a title.
Bika would NOT KO Taylor. :nono Back end top ten is about right. That's probably being a little generous, and that's assuming he's even still the same guy that stopped Manfredo or won a life-and-death struggle with Codrington.
I can't, which is why he fits the Top 10, as I said. Edit: In fact, I would put everyone in the Super Six ahead of Bika, then Bute and possibly Andrade. That would leave Bika Place 9 or 10 on my list, come to think of it.
The Ring ranks him at number 5, but seeing how inactive he is I think he should be placed a lot lower than that.
