What is your SMW top 25?

Good list,decebal.I would probably kick Miranda out of the top 10 in my one,but all in all a damn good list,my Canadien friend.

 

My updated top15
-May 9th 2008-

Champion: Vacant

01- Mikkel Kessler (Former WBC & WBA Champion)
02- Lucian Bute (IBF)
03- Anthony Mundine (WBA)
04- Jermain Taylor (Former 160lbs Undisputed Champion)
05- Librado Andrade
06- Edison Miranda
07- Sakio Bika
08- Carl Froch
09- Denis Inkin
10- Vitali Tsypko
11- Jeff Lacy
12- Andre Dirrell
13- Allan Green
14- Jean Pascal
15- Andre Ward

* Tried to focus more on recent accomplishment instead of "who would beat who".
** Zuniga remains out until he fights Pascal.
*** Braehmer is out. Moved up to 175lbs.
**** Ward and Dirrell in based on recent fights.
***** Froch and Inkin down a bit since they've really fought nobody.

 

All in all a very good list! Well done! Stieglitz probably deserves a spot around the nr.18-20. Karo Murat and Karoly Balszay hang around the nr.20 position as well.

 

didnt see the dates on the first page and saw someone put JC at 12 i nearly fell over laughing.

 

That's a fine list, feller.

Not sure about Bute and Miranda being so high, though.

Ward and Dirrell, yeah, I liked that!

 

Name me a fighter who had better opposition (victories) at 168lbs?

Outside Kessler and possibly Mundine. There is no one.

 

I think Taylor is better and he's beaten much better opposition. He fought at 164 lbs last time around too and looked very good.

I think Andrade's better too.

Even Froch probably beats him the way Bute fights so scared.

I'm just not sold on the guy is all.

 

What fight/fights did you see Bute fighting "scared" in??

He will bust Andrade's ass.

 

Saw Bute against Bika, Berrio and Joppy. Didn't want to engage much against Bika, fought scared against Berrio's punch and played with Joppy like a cat with a mouse, instead of finishing the job. Well, he won't be able to do that against Andrade, that's for sure. Same goes for Froch, I figure. Wouldn't be surprised if he folded.

 

:bart

 

Damn straight.

 

Taylor has yet to make a SMW debut, very suspect putting him at #3. Fight a top 10 SMW for that, but they'll likely throw him in with a SMW can just to get him a ranking, even though he wont deserve.

Miranda also has yet to fight a top 10 SMW. Work in the weak MW division has nothing to do with SMW.

Meanwhile Andrade KOed a top 10 with Stieglitz, KOed a top 15 with Mack. He's over Taylor 100, Taylor's not a better fighter anyway.
