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.
1. Joe Calzaghe 2. Mikkel Kessler 3. Lucian Bute 4. Anthony Mundine 5. Jeff Lacy 6. Denis Inkin 7. Carl Froch 8. Librado Andrade
...well, that's all nice and good...but Top 12 I can do too...I was looking for insight into the rest of the better fighters in the division...thank you for your answers so far.:good
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.
My shitty top25: - Did not include Beyer because he's been inactive for more then a year - Did not include Miranda because he did not fight at 168lbs yet. Champion: Calzaghe (WBO) 01- Kessler (WBC & WBA) 02- Mundine 03- Bute (IBF) 04- Inkin 05- Andrade 06- Lacy 07- Tsypko 08- Zuniga 09- Braehmer 10- Froch 11- Stieglitz 12- Pascal 13- Bika 14- Mendy 15- Berrio 16- Green 17- Sanavia 18- Soliman 19- Gogiya 20- Manfredo Jr. 21- Larsen 22- Veit 23- Bozic 24- Mock 25- Codrington
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.
