    :adminInkin the weakest of the champs,eh! Suspect reasons for pulling out against Froch,eh! I cant see Inkin risking leaving Germany often,eh!

    Just for your information he is scheduled to take on his stablemate Karoly Balszay next month.The young Hungarian is one of the most promising talents at supermiddle,and a victory for Inkin is no sure bet at all.Zuniga,Inkin's last opponent,cant hold a candle to the Hungarian in terms of future potential and natural talent.It will be an extremely risk fight for Inkin.
    And cut out that **** about Inkin hiding himself on German soil. Unlike most fighters on your list he has fought quite often on foreign soil °°!

    Andrade,too,will soon face a tough opponent in his upcomming fight against Vitaly Tsypko who by the way had soundly outpointed Adamu just two weeks before he travelled over to GB to made the water hot for Froch.

    1 Kessler
    2 Froch
    3 Bute
    4 Inkin
    5 Taylor
    6 Andrade
    7 Bika
    8 Pascal

    Rating Pascal top 3 is just not realistic. Neither is rating Andrade in the top 3 as others do but that is another discussion.

    You can't put Froch and Pascal no.2 and 3 just because they had a great fight. Even do it was great to watch, it showed their weaknesses as much as their chin. Inkin, I don't believe in him, he's got to prove a little more before I'll consider him a serious foe.

    1-Kessler
    2-Bute
    3-Taylor
    4-Froch
    5-Andrade
    6-Bika
    7-Inkin
    8-Ward
    9-Dirrell
    10-Pascal

    Good list. But I'd put Pascal at 8th and not bother with a 9th or 10th just yet. Ward, Dirrel, Balszay, Stieglitz , Berrio, Miranda, Lacy, Tsypko etc are all on the outside looking in. A couple of decent wins for any of those would push them into the top bracket.

    This as to be the worse post I have ever seen..., ur comment is bull****:

    *Bute - I have some serious reservations about Bute's defensive abilities. Gets hit way too often and has shown a worrying tendancy to slow dramatically late in fights. He needs to throw more punches but that will probably tire him quicker. Possibly the first on the titleists to get beaten if I were a betting man.*

    Gets hit way too often ? Are you crazy !

    Slow down late in fights ? What ? Bute won last 6 rounds vs Bika + last 3 vs Berrio before the knockdown. He won the 10-11 easy vs Andrade and round 10 was is best of the fight. We have seen Bute slow down once and that in the last round vs Andrade, but you havent seen that vs Bika, Berrio or anybody else, Bute has the reputation to be better as the fight progress.

    And btw, american, british or where ever you came from, you know NOTHING about boxing. In fact, I live in MONTREAL and ive seen ALL of Bute and Pascal fight, mostly ringside, couple of meter from the ring. Im a huge fans of both but I have to be honest, people in Montreal LOVE Bute much more than Pascal, why? Because he is much better and he won is fights much easier and flashier than Pascal. How the **** can you rate Froch and Pascal ahead of Bute? Froch is slow as hell and if you want to talk about getting tired, well Pascal was done after round 6 or 7. Of course he react well went froch hit him hard after that, but we knew Froch was controling the fight winning the last 6 rounds or so.

    You should put thing in perspective, Froch and Pascal are no Andrade, librado is better. It is also so funny how ESB wannabe put Bika so high on their list, BUTE BEAT HIM 118-110 AND WIN THE LAST 6 ROUNDS, THE LAST COUPLE OF ROUNDS WAS A BEATING ! Also, where the **** is Berrio, Berrio is better than Bika, he did well against Bute, much better than Bika. He was landing on Bute, Bika did not.

    1. Kessler
    2. Bute

    The rest is debatable, but there no ****ing way Froch and Pascal are 2 and 3, I mean wtf everybody was saying those 2 were **** before they fought, so now two **** fighter fight each other and now their are god? Wtf !

    Bute won rounds, that all you can ask a fighter.

    He give 2-3 rounds max to Bika, Berrio and Andrade, 3 fighter in the top10 of the division, what more can you ask him?

    Miranda KO Zuniga
    Andrade UD Bika
    Taylor UD Froch
    Kessler UD Bute

    Id prefer Bute vs Taylor and Kessler vs Froch and winner of both fight = Bute and Kessler fought each other.
