    Agreed, Lacy's short of confidence at the moment as well as ring action.

    Yes he looked cumbersome and blunt in the fight against Manfredo, but he was fighting under big pressures and after a long lay-off/surgery.

    He needs to fight a couple of bums outside of the top30 to regain confidence before building himself back up again.

    I still believe in Jeff.

    Yeah that list is pretty spot on, except maybe i feel Lacy is a touch too low.
    I would slide Lacy in at 9.

    Looks like you think Froch would be beaten by Inkin, Maxime...since you have Andrade under Inkin too...:think

    Because I think his pressure style + his chin and power would cause problems to a lot of fighters. Not many fighters could do what Kessler did to Andrade.

    I used to think Andrade was pretty limited. And he is... but he has other qualities that makes up for it.

    Guys like Allan Green and Jean Pascal are much more talented/skilled. But I'd pick Andrade over both of them in a 12 round fight.

    Very good list, Maxime, as usual...not sure about Braehmer being as high as that or Inkin being as high as that...Froch looks a li'l bit low, compared to these two. 8-15 are spot on, I think.

    Green, Berrio and Bika are better than Lacy, Tsypko and Zuniga. Pascal should not be a top15 yet.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about Froch. If he wins though, he could come as far up as 3rd (after Joe and Mikkel), depending on how Bute does against Andrade.
