    Fight week starts Monday, this week has nothing to do with next week.

    Which violates the bet.

    But he did not, he is an innate failure at the top level and Pavlik is not even a true top level. It was more so Pavlik dropping his gaurd because he felt he was dealing with a cream puff puncher.

    Ah, more incorrect statements Blocky. I stated Pavlik would wear Taylor down with constant pressure with his size and workrate and that Taylor couldn't control the fight well enough from the backfoot, I also stated that Pavlik would win the jabbing contest with his reach.

    Then I stated that Pavlik was more durable. My prediction aside from Pavlik getting KD'd was spot on.

    I only mentioned this because you cannot resist posting, even though you confidently made the bet for 6 months. Just like you confidently think Kessler is trash, which is not the case.

    I got lucky that Pavlik didn't get KTFO for his carelessness, but aside from that, the fight went exactly as I said it would.

    Jermain Taylor is a **** champion, that sure as hell proved it. No poise.

    Why the hell are people putting Andrade in their top 10 ?

    Calzaghe
    Kessler
    Bute

    Lacy I feel could force himself into 2nd with a couple of good wins.


    Then a fight between Mundine, Froch, Green etc...

    1. Calzaghe
    2. Kessler
    3. Mundine
    4. Bute
    5. Lacy
    6. Inkin
    7. Froch
    8. Braehmer
    9. Tsypko
    10. Pascal

    Lacy would easily be #3 if he was more active. Calzaghe was an awful matchup for him but he's still class IMO.

    Champion: Vacant until no.1 and no.2 in the division fight each other.

    1. Calzaghe
    2. Kessler
    3. Mundine
    4. Bute
    5. Lacy
    6. Froch
    7. Inkin
    8. Pascal
    9. Green
    10. Braehmer
    11. Mendy
    12. Tsypko
    13. Andrade
    14. Bika
    15. Larsen
    16. Stieglitz
    17. Berrio
    18. Zuniga
    19. Codrington
    20. Soliman
    21. Sanavia
    22. Manfredo
    23. Dirrell
    24. Tatevosyan
    25. Ward

    I have placed Stieglitz in front of Berrio because I believe Stieglitz is better and just got caught in their second fight.

    I have left out guys like Hanshaw, Beyer, Miranda and Teymour for different reasons such as inactivity and having fought in another division in their last fights.

    Good list (other than Calzaghe being champion before fighting Kessler).

    Your an idiot.

    Mundine is clearly above Lacy in the rankings at SMW. He has thrashed Sam Soliman, Danny Green and a bunch of C-Grade opponents since his last loss, whereas Lacy only JUST beat Tsypko some would argue it was a bad decision.
