    Did you even read the post John Alutus? Berrio and Bika were not top ten when Bute fought them. Clear?

    Only one problem: yes they were.

    John's idiotic point is that Calzaghe was the champ and that Berrio and Bika were ranked in the 10th spot (at the time they fought Bute), and were therefore (wait for it...) the 11th best super middleweights according to The Ring.

    I'm not saying Bute's opposition has been great (I hated the choice of Joppy), but he's miles ahead of Mundine.

    I don't care whether they were 10th or 11th or whatever accrording to The Ring. According to the consensus of ESB posters who follow the division very closely, they were amonst the best top 10 fighters in the world at SMW when they fought Bute, Calzaghe being No. 1.

    Anyway, it's perverse to care so much whether they were Top 10 or Top 11 or whatnot...what is important is that they were in that region or very close to it. And no, I am not using Top 10 as a figure of speech for "pretty decent"...or somethins like that. I meant it literally.

    Liking the results of the poll? (and with no draw option, you might as well vote for the guy you'd slightly lean towards... Bute, right?)

    I think Bute's fight with Joppy (partly thanks to your link, even) was seen by more people than Mundine's with Hamdan; and exposure doesn't hurt!

    Still don't think too many "Americans" are voting, though.
