    My updated top15 (Feb. 18th 200

    Champion: Vacant (Calzaghe moving up to 175lbs)

    01- Mikkel Kessler (Former WBC & WBA Champion)
    02- Lucian Bute (IBF)
    03- Anthony Mundine (WBA)
    04- Jermain Taylor (Former 160lbs Undisputed Champion)
    05- Denis Inkin
    06- Carl Froch
    07- Jurgen Braehmer
    08- Librado Andrade
    09- Edison Miranda
    10- Sakio Bika
    11- Vitali Tsypko
    12- Jeff Lacy
    13- Allan Green
    14- Robert Stieglitz
    15- Jean Pascal

    * Added Taylor in 4th based on his past accomplishement at 160lbs.
    ** Removed Zuniga because he is fighting a title eliminator at 160lbs.
    *** Removed Calzaghe because he is fighting Hopkins at 175lbs.

    Anyone else get the feeling that the division is sitting and waiting while Calzaghe has his fight with Hopkins? I can see Taylor vs Beyer or something happening. A former belt holder at 168.

    A question to the people who have gone to the trouble of posting their lists and follow the SMW division:

    Assuming Jermain Taylor campaigns at SMW from now on, where would you place him in your list?

    What are your reasons for putting Froch & Inkin above Taylor? Do you think they both beat him or is it because he hasn't fought against a 168 yet?

    I think Froch would beat him, I don't know about Inkin but since he is fighting Froch it would be harsh to then put Taylor above him but you could make a case for that. I'm always a bit reluctant to put guys really high before they have proven anything at the weight. 8lbs is a big jump

    But you're sure Calzaghe can bridge a 7lbs jump to LHW and beat da man there!

    Inkin for sure belongs among the top 5 of his weight division.No doubt about that! I for my part wouldnt rate the very slow and predictable Berrio among the top 10,and neither would I rate Bika among the top 10.Tyspko would probably beat both Berrio and Bika.Markus Beyer is shot and over the hill IMO.Stieglitz surely belongs among the the top 14-18 fighters of his weight division.Larsen still has the tools to upset some top 10 fighters.Karo Murat is a great talent who may make it among the top 20-25.

    Yes I'm certain he can, but then I havn't got him ranked 1 at LHW yet

    I am waiting for Bute v. Joppy (Bute might go down if he doesn't win impressively).
