    This is Lampley's ESB Rankings' TOP 11.

    SMW -

    Champion: Joe Calzaghe

    Mikkel Kessler
    Anthony Mundine
    Lucian Bute
    Jeff Lacy
    Carl Froch
    Alejandro Berrio
    Librado Andrade
    Vitali Tsypko
    Sakio Bika
    Allan Green

    I am not so much interested in who comes third, fourth or fifth or anything like that, but who makes it in the top 10 in the first place, who makes it in the top 15, in the top 20, in the top 25...

    So...Who makes your top 10?

    Who comes 11-15? (order isn't so important)
    How about 15-20 and 20-25...again, order isn't so important...

    Many thanks...:good

    (I have started this thread because I think that no Champ should ever fight someone outside the top 20...not even in a first, "easy", "home-coming" defence)

    What about boxers changing weight class?

    11-15 probably includes Allan Green, Vitali Tsypko, Denis Inkin, Jurgen Braehmer and Jean Paul Mendy. 15 - 20 probably includes Librado Andrade, Jaidon Codrington, Mads Larsen, Fulgencio Zuniga, Sam Soliman. 20 - 25 probably includes Manfredo, Reid and a bunch of prospects. Miranda probably pops in at around 10-12 after this weekend.

    Why's that? Yusef Mack was boxing his ears off! He's lucky he was facing someone with proven stamina problems and a below average chin! He only has a puncher's chance against any of the guys ahead of him, which is why I have him around 16 or 17. A good chin does not a good fighter make. Besides, I don't really see a huge difference in skill level between the guys occupying 7 through 17.

    As for Mendy, if I remember correctly, he had a fight scheduled but hurt himself in training, I believe. I doubt he gets much higher than this though; southpaws with a punch and decent workrate are usually avoided unless they're rated highly by the ABCs, which he's not.

    Jean Pascal is way too low. I place him before Condrington, Tsypko, Green, Zuniga and of course Beyer who is not event in my top 30.

    I believe Inkin has done a bit more than Pascal personally....

    Bika,a shot Beyer,Froch who struggled with Adamu(who was schooled by Tsypko two weeks before),very limited puncher Berrio,and Pascal among the top 10,but Denis Inkin who most experts consider to be the best fighter behind Kessler and Calzaghe not even among the top 10?????

    Lacy at nr.5???
