    Kessler can't be ranked above Ward at this point. Absolutely not. Abraham also shouldn't be, because he has had two wins at SMW...impressive wins, but Ward beat the same guy (less impressively) and also the guy ranked #1.

    If they fought tomorrow, my money would be on Abraham, but you can't rank fighters based on how good you think they are. Fact is Ward and Abraham each have two good wins at SMW, and one of Ward's is better. So he takes the higher spot for now.

    Also, If Miranda isn't ranked, Green shouldn't be either. Miranda beat Green, which is the easiest and most undisputable way to get ranked above someone. Green hasn't done enough since the loss to be put above Miranda.

    I should think Dirrell will enter the list this time out.

    (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


    I'd say probaly just below Kessler, above Bika at 5.

    I still have no idea what Allan Green is doing on that list (other then being american of course). He's never defeated a top10 ranked opponent and Miranda, who dominated him, isn't even ranked by the Ring.

    :lol:
