    (The Ring)

    1 Lucian Bute

    2 Andre Ward

    3 Carl Froch

    4 Mikkel Kessler

    5 Sakio Bika

    6 Arthur Abraham

    7 Allan Green

    8 Librado Andrade

    9 Robert Stieglitz

    10 Eduard Gutknecht


    Good or bad? Or about right in your opinion?

    Do you think Direll perhaps deserves a place for his efforts against Froch?

    Does you think Bute deserves to be no 1?

    Should Froch be higher?

    Pretty bad. I really don't understand why Bute is rated so high. Because he beat Andrade? By that logic Kessler should be challenging the top spot because he beat Andrade. It doesn't really add up...

    Mikkel Kessler was the so-called "Best Supermiddleweight in the world" and Ward easily dismantled him,so therefore Ward should be number 1,

    Dirrell is better then half of those boxers in that list,Its a dissapointment thats hes not listed

    Bad, really bad.
    Abraham should be higher for his win over Taylor, Dirrell should be on the list, Bika should be lower, Bute should be number 3 and Ward should be number 1.

    did they overturn the win? Did Ward get caught juicing? No, then he won fair and square and should reap all the benefits of beating Kessler, which includes the ranking.

    I'm sorry but there needs to be a bit more substance to a #1 ranking than 'ability'. That's the sort of thing you do for those ranked 8, 9 and 10 when you are running out of more proven contenders. If that is the criteria for him being #1 it makes it even more laughable Dirrell is not on the list and Stieglitz etc are.

    from what i've seen so far, i can see aa winning this tourney. i can also understand why many feel ward should have been dq'd for the headbutts. but headbutts aside he completely outclassed kessler. he didnt need them to win. kessler was helpless in there.

    if its the headbutts that makes you feel ward doesnt deserve to be there, then fine, i can't argue with that.

    but as far as "what have you done to deserve to be up there"...ward has done more than arthur thus far. and i stress thus far.

    yes he probably would have won but

    let me take froch for example and i hate this guy btw

    he is undefeated and has fought 4-5 quality quality boxers while ward has faced one

    no way does ward deserve to be ahead of froch. thats the american bias talking mate
