    I'll have to try tracking down some video of Inkin. He hasn't really beaten anyone of note, none of the people he's beaten have beaten anyone of note (other than Veit's win over ancient Brewer), and the fact that he was even on the cards with Veit at the time of the stoppage is pretty unimpressive, so I don't feel comfortable ranking him too highly without having seen him. Seems like a typical protected Universum boxer who might be great, but I'd never know it because he never fights anyone who doesn't have a massively padded record.

    If I can find good video, I might be influenced here.

    I've already said why I think Andrade is overrated. He was destroyed by the only good fighter he faced, and he was getting a beatdown from a B- level fighter who I'd barely rank in the top 20 if he had won. Berrio arguably could be lower, but I just don't see who I would put ahead of him. He's still beaten Stieglitz (who I missed before and would probably go in the 15-20 range) and Vanderpool and beat Mack much more convincingly than did Andrade (i.e. he was actually winning the fight when he put Mack to sleep), and has a puncher's chance against just about anyone. Beyer has beaten Green twice, Sheika, Sanavia, Thysse and Lucas and drawn Bika, and while he's gotten some questionable decisions, it's still the best resume of any of the people below Froch.

    Why don't you put up a list?

    BTW, after thinking things over, I do think I'll flip Froch and Lacy. I still want to see more of Lacy post-injury.

    I have been trying to make a list but I just don't know enough about boxing and about the fighters in the division, outside a handful of which I know a lot about...:oops: ...maybe our analysts will chip in and give some guidance.:D

    Blocky, you weren't supposed to come back until Monday for Cal-Kessler week, but you've broken your bet so many times already it doesn't even matter.

    Just forget the damn bet and post, everyone knows that you cannot keep to your word now. You should have thought it over before confidently taking a 6 month off bet with an almost assured loser in Jermain Taylor, who you admitted that you overrated prior.

    So Blockhead, just come on back and post your normal rhetoric, you've broken the bet.

    Where's Mundine? :patsch

    Not that i like him very much but he is probably 3rd, 4th or 5th on everybody in the world's list.

    Yeah...I know what you mean when you say "interchangeable", but clearly, some must be better than others...the guys around the Top 10 have to be better than the guys around the top 18, who again have to be better than the guys around the top 25...can you not have another go...8-25...maybe, just put them in groups/clusters, without ordering them...

    8-13
    14-19
    20-15
