    Can't argue with Kovalev at 4. The manner in which he bumsmashed Campillo, who is no such thing, is one of the most unexpected(for me) and impressive things I've seen in a while. I think the division is on notice, and unfortunately it doesn't seem likely he'll get these other guys in the ring in the near future.

    I figured as much. His record is very misleading. He should really be a unifies champion before the kovalev fight. In fact his one big win is arguably the one he should have lost. Funny how things work.

    Campillo was straight robbed against Cloud, Murat 2, and Shumenov 2.

    Thought you meant Kovolev. Still Campilo looked shot and Kovolev , even looking like a brutus is still untested.

    He wasn't meant to be in the best condition on fight night and he looked off kilter. You think K can take out Clev and Bellew?

    Both are too eager to exchange. I had their fight a draw and both are at a similar level. Clev beat Murat, Bellew beat Miranda. Not much between them.

    I've seen Bellew box cute at times but his chin is a huge question against a puncher like this. Cleverly will go to war, would be great to see.

    But all in all, I think he's a favourite over both.

    The bottom line is that this divsion gets extremely soft once you're outside the top 2 (who are also creaking more than a bit). I personally think Kovolev could be ranked a notch higher, and you could also make the case for his being a notch lower.

    Dawson as champ is a placement beyond reproach, but even he has just been beaten, although it was in another weight division.

    Dawson is in a strange situation as it feels ward is in realty the best there he just chooses to fight at 168.

    If Dawson can beat Pascal he'll be in a better position but the division seems a bit shallow atm. I mean shumenov and cleverly are nowhere near the level they are rightly ranked at but what can ya do?

    I see the ring rank Zaurbek Baysangurov number 10 a jmw and don't rank Sergey Rabchenko who i think should be number 10.the trans ratings don't have either but got Rosado at 10. Personally i think rabchenko is more deserving of the 10 spot then rosado
