So I watched Froch v. Taylor again, this time on TV... ...and I am certain Kessler is the best 168 lbs fighter in the world. I am also certain Taylor is a better fighter than Bika. But...I am not certain whether Bute is better than Froch. I know how good Bute is, and I know how good Andrade is, but I am still not sure how good Froch is. So, given that Bute and Andrade should be ranked one after the other, at least until their rematch, do I rank Froch over Bute or under Bute? Not sure... 1. Kessler This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected 5. Taylor 6. Bika for now, althought Bute shouldn't be two places above Andrade, and I'm not sure whether Froch could beat Andrade. :conf ...Balzsay, Tsypko, Inkin, Ward (if he beats Miranda) all have a good case for being in the Top 10, but not sure exactly where to rank them...some could be above Bika, some below, some might not belong at all...I need to see them fight better calibre opposition before making my mind up. In conclusion, we need Bute and Andrade to rematch and we need the winner to fight Froch to find out how these three rank one against the other, imo.:good
If you insist, here is my list, but I only go up to 7: 1. Kessler 2. Andrade 3. Bute 4. Froch 5. Taylor 6. Bika 7. Balzsay I still think Andrade will beat Bute in the rematch, although, granted, it be very competitive.
1. Kessler 2. Bute 3. Andrade 4. Abraham 5. Froch 6. Dirrell 7. Bika 8. Stieglitz 9. Taylor 10. Tsypko (I had Froch v. Dirrell a draw but only because of the point deduction which I thought was unfair in the circumstances.)
Taylor should be nowhere near that list. 4 fights at 168lb and the guy has lost 3 of them, with just a win over a shot Jeff Lacy to crow about. Hardly top 10 material. 1. Kessler 2. Bute 3. Froch 4. Abraham 5. Andrade 6. Bika 7. Stieglitz 8. Dirrell 9. Ward 10. Green I probably wouldn't argue too much if people were to swap Froch & Abraham over, but as of now I still rank Froch's achievements at 168lb higher than AA's so he has to be above him. After the next round of the super six I can see that changing though.
1. Froch 2. Abrahman 3. Alan Green 4. Kessler 5. Ward 6. Dirrell 7. Andrade 8. Bute 9. Miranda 10. Larsen
are you taking the ****, i am a froch fan but i know not to put him above kessler. and how on earth can you even contemplate putting the great middleweight conqueror allan gree over kessler, andrade and bute.
Worst top 10 EVER. Here's mine: 1. Kessler 2. Bute 3. Froch 4. Abraham 5. Andrade 6. Dirrell 7. Bika 8. Ward 9. Stieglitz 10. Green
The Ring Supermiddleweight top 10 - Oct. 18th: 1. Kessler 2. Bute 3. Froch 4. Andrade 5. Bika 6. Abraham 7. Green 8. Stieglitz 9. Ward 10. Balzsay http://www.ringtv.com/ratings/super_middleweight/ I think this list doesn't stand up logically. If Froch is still at 3. why is Dirrell not on the list? If Abraham is at 6, why isn't Taylor on the list? What is Green still doing there? Why is Andrade not next to Bute? Why is Ward on the list if Dirrell isn't? Because he beat a shot Miranda?
It is updated. The list that appeared on the site yesterday was from Oct. 11th. Look at the list, Abraham was not ranked at all last week. He came in after the Taylor performance. Taylor was there yesterday, now he's not on the list. Green and Stieglitz went down a place from yesterday's list.
