    I just saw that boxrec have edited their lists today but I saw that Kessler dropped to 3rd and Bute is the new number one? Anyone know how and why this can be?

    Because he hasn't fought in a while,his last 2 were unimpressive opponents to say the least and because Bute rocks:yep:good

    Yeah but why today? Bute hasn't fought anyone yet? Only Andrade which Kessler owned

    Hmm well I hope he gets to fight either Froch, Bute or Taylor... Or maybe move up to LHW and have a popularity boost fight. Clinton Woods maybe?

    Kessler fights Euro-tomato cans. That's why.

    Myabe this is a good thing. think - if kessler - widely thought of as the best smiddleweight, or at least a heavy duty challenger - is going down the list we all know it's because of palle. this is good pressure on kessler's **** manager to get him fighting real opponents.

    silver lining?

    Kessler is at top, they will lower him because of prejudice.

    BoxRec rankings never often make little to no sense. Read nothing into it.

    Kessler should definitely be no. 1. He he has pretty much destroyed every fighter that has been put in front of him, bar Calzaghe. Bute's resume doesn't come close to Kessler's.
