    I have him at no 6.

    1 Calzaghe
    2 Toney
    3 Benn
    4 Ottke
    5 Eubank
    6 Kessler

    Where does he rank on your list?

    toney is a twice proven banned anabolic steroid drug taker. he is a blatant cheat and disgrace to the sport of boxing, he should not be included on these lists.

    Very high when you consider he beat
    Siaca WBA champ
    Beyer WBC champ and 3 time WBC champ
    Mundine 2 time WBA champ (away)
    Lucas former WBC champ
    Thobela former WBC champ
    Sartison now regular WBA champ
    Froch WBC champ
    Haussler
    Andrade undefeated.

    I dont know quite where in the top 10 id put kessler because after Calzaghe at #1 theres alot of good fighters, but id put him above Toney.
    My order would be a bit different to yours, but good post

    I wouldn't have Ottke anywhere near the top-ten.

    Kessler could just about make the top 5.

    I thought about Switching Toney with Benn but i left toney in there because he had some good wins at supermiddleweight.Like it or not he has had some wins over quality opposition even if hes been involved in a lot of bull**** calls

    Gees...it's a rather young division. Some hella good uns have swept through the division. Leonard, Hearns, then later guys like Nunn...Don't know.

    Roy Jones was clearly the best at SMW. But he was there in a very short time.

    I would put Jones as #1 and erase Ottke from that list and still place Kessler as #6! The rest of your list looks fine

    Unless you make your own, a clown like Kessler belongs on NO official ATG list since is hardly ATG material and has fought and defeated no ATG in his entire career. Simpletons on this site would make just about any bum an ATG and HOF'er. LMAO!!

    It's a SMW ATG list though...think about it. It's not Langford, Duran, Kessler, it's Calzaghe, Ottke, Kessler.
