    1. Joe Calzaghe (WBC, WBA & WBO)
    2. Mikkel Kessler
    3. Anthony Mundine
    4. Lucien Bute (IBF)
    5. Jeff Lacy (He is the 5th best IMO, but maybe he shouldnt be ranked so high due to inactivity)
    6. Denis Inkin
    7. Sakio Bika
    8. Librado Andrade
    9. Carl Froch
    10. Jurgen Braehmer
    11. Edison Miranda (IMO could beat alot of the top 10, but unproven at the weight)
    12. Jean Pascal
    13. Alejandro Berrio
    14. Robert Stieglitz
    15. Allan Green

    Thats my top 15, can't say iv many other fighters from this division. It is a pretty good one though:good

    Its amazing to see how many people are putting the glorified clubfighter Librado Andrade in their top20.

    1. Calzaghe - Undisputed champion
    2 . Kessler - Still a cut above the rest

    -------------------------------

    3. Bute - Good win over Bika and IBF champion
    4. Lacy - Only loss to Calzaghe, look for strong future performances
    5. Mundine - Needs better comepetition to move up further


    --------------------------------------------------------

    6. Inkin - Undefeated
    7. Froch - Needs higher competition to move up
    8. Bika - Vastly improved over losses to Calza and Bute

    -------------------------------------------------------

    9. Miranda - I love 9,10,11
    10. Green
    11. Zuniga - Especially Zuniga, hes gonna do damage in future.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    12.Typsko
    13.Brahmer
    14.Pascal
    15.Berrio


    16+ = Stieglitz, Soliman, Codrington, Manfredo etc etc......


    At no point should Librado Andrade be including in any "top" SMW list.

    I'd also like to point out that I dont actually know that much on my 13. Brahmer or however its spelt. I might be over-rating him or underrating him accordingly.

    Thanks for that...It's spelt Jürgen Brähmer, but ü and ä are also spelt "ue" and "ae".:good

    Braehmer apparently lack a very sold chin...so a good hard puncher would take him out. Ask Odo or unitas about him...sean, of course, knows everything.

    You are wrong about Andrade...he has an iron chin and a coeur de lion...someone like Froch would not be able to stop him and would most likely lose on points. Someone like Berrio, would get stopped, with that shakey chin. Boxers would do well against him though, because he is not so mobile or enterprising.

    sean's list!:happy

    1/calzaghe
    2/kessler
    3/bute
    4/mundine
    5/inkin
    6/froch
    7/andrade
    8/miranda
    9/larsen
    10/bika

    i wont rank lacy as top 10 until i see if he is back v manfredo, if he looks sharp and does a number on manfredo as he should he will go back in at 6.

    larsen will be a surprise and not on most lists but he is a very good technical boxer, his only drawback is he thinks to much in the ring and does not let it flow, but if you come onto him, he is a great counterpuncher.

    miranda`s win over green puts him at 8 even if it was at the weight below, porras win means nothing.

    Strange that some people have Kessler over Bute in the rankings...how can this be? Bute couldn't beat Kessler? Not even Bute thinks he could beat Kessler now...he says he needs to learn and develop, needing at least a good couple of fights until he can compete with the likes of Joe and Mikkel. He is right! He needs to work on that defence and maintain that speed - perhaps he needs to work on tha stamina too...

    And what is Beyer doing in the Top 10? Beyer is de facto retired! Isn't he?

    1. Joe
    2. Mikkel
    ----------------
    3-4. Lucian, Choc
    ----------------
    5-8. Lacy, Andrade, Froch, Inkin - don't know which order...
    ----------------
    9-10. Tsypko, Bika
    ----------------
    11-13. Braehmer, Miranda, Pascal - don't know which order...

    Difficult to say who will be better in their next fight out of Lacy and Andrade...also, it's difficult to say how good they are compared to Froch...I overrated Inkin, I think...I expect Froch would stop Inkin, but I am not sure overall he is better than Inkin...

    What are your thoughts?
