    Just interested to see how people's lists look. Go as far down as you want, doesn't have to be just these 6 guys, I just couldn't be bothered to factor in Bika, Andrade, Johnson, Green and company as of yet.

    My order would be, with a criteria consistently of both resumé in the last 24 months (65%) and head-to-head standing (35%), as follows:

    I mean I was tempted as a massive Froch fan to put him at #01, but the reason I didn't is because honestly, Ward's resumé is under-rated and probably the 2nd best amongst those guys. Green is still a top 10 super-middle probably, Bika too, and Kessler is my #4. And he's the best head-to-head for me. While Froch has the best resumé, he's probably 3rd head-to-head behind Bute. If he was 2nd, he'd be top of the overall list for me.

    So, what's your list?

    1) Ward
    2) Froch
    3) Kessler
    4) Bute
    5) Dirrell
    6) Abraham

    I think the top 3 are a league above the bottom 3 in terms of resume.

    How can Bute be number 1? What the **** did he do to get ranked that high? Who has he beaten? Is there something I'm missing here?

    Green never was a top10 SMW. He was a pretender a deceiver , a phony. And now he is out of almost all the sites and magazines top10 rankings.
    He never fooled me but seemed he managed to fool others

    It depends. Kessler's recent resumé, he's 2-1 in the last in the last 24 months. Dominant loss to Ward, disputed win over Froch and a nothing win over Pedromo. Bute's resumé is over-rated though. And Ward's is under-rated.

    IMO, Kessler's beating at the hands of Ward dismiss him from being in the top 3.
