    Ramón on a little "Decebal trip". Kessler not under 4..........? The only one winning here is Bute, because he doesn't fight the others....................

    No. The winner of Ward vs. Dirrell becomes my number 1 as long as they perform as well as they did in their breaktrough fights (vs. Kessler and vs. Abraham).

    Kessler is where he should be. Abraham looked better against Dirrell than Kessler did against Ward. Let's see how he performs against Froch. He can go up or down.

    By the time Bute will get to fight the winner of the super six, his opponent will have faced better quality opposition (unless Bute fights Pavlik, Pascal and Dawson) and will have an advantage in terms of high-level experience. The winner of the super six would have to beat an unbeaten Bute to become Champ, but that doesn't mean that Bute would be number 1 in the rankings before their fight.

    fixed. :deal

    Bute is not and will not establish himself as the top of the crop unless he fights the tournament guys, beating guys like Miranda and Andrade does not prove a thing, not a damn thing! :deal

    That fight in itself doesn't prove he's number one. But you have to consider the manner he won his last 3 fights.

    1. Ward (He looked very dominant in his last fight against the "man"
    2. Froch (His last three fights has been very good wins and even though it was very close in the Dirrell fight I felt like it was ok that Froch got the nod)
    3. Bute (Bute has won all his 25 fights but havn't been really tested yet)
    4. Kessler (Kessler lost his last fight against Ward and drops to fourth place. If he beats Froch he will be back at second)
    5. Dirrell (Dirrell showed his skills against an unproven but dangerous SMW in Abraham. Had a close fight with Froch in Nottingham
    6. Abraham (You cant put Abraham higher then number 6. He has plain and simply not done enough at this weight)

    Been some changes tonight.
    Bute
    Ward
    Kessler
    Froch
    Dirrell
    With Kesslers win over Froch and trying to base ratings on results, Id guess it would be something like this

    Anyone with Froch below Dirrell is bitter.

    Plus, Dirrell and Ward have a lot to answer for regarding their steroid abuse, I leave it at that.

    1. Bute (even i don't like him) he looks right now unbeatable, but he fights mediocore opposition
    2. Ward
    3. Kessler
    4. Froch
    5. Dirrell
    6. Abraham (imo he is top three, but he lost to dirrell and did almost nothing at supper middle weight, if he knocks out froch he is top 3)
    7. Stieglitz
    8. Andrade
    9. Bika
    10. Green
