Should Sakio Bika (currently #7) remain rated at 168? He has not fought at this weight since the 13th of November ’08. His last fight was in the Light-heavyweight division.

Should he remain rated
Move to the 168 pool
Move to the 175 pool

It doesn't look like he has the legs to be competitive. He was basically a heavy bag for Foreman to practice his combos on.

He's done,just doesn't care any more.

For now I think we should move him to the pool at 168 & see where he goes from here

Sakio Bika is moved to the pool at 168 by a vote of 2 - 1

Daniel Santos is removed from the pool by a vote of 6 - 0

How far should Mikkel Kessler (currently #1) drop? 1-3 spots?
Mikkel Kessler
1 spot to 2nd
2 spots to 3rd
3 spots to 4th

2 spots, that was a bad defeat, normally I would say 3 but as there has beenn some aggravating factors like a few too many clinches and some bad headbutts that might have disturbed the performance, I consider a clement decision. 2 spots.

I can't see Kessler being below Froch, it's hard enough Abraham being below. I don't think it was 3 spot drop performance.

2 spots for me.. some may argue about Froch being higher placed than Kessler, but Froch is coming off two high profile wins, both title defenses, even if one was a robbery.. so has done much more in the last year than Kessler has.

2 spots.

He'll get his chance to pass Froch in his next fight.

Librado Andrade

Straight to the pool

Should Paul Williams (currently #1) remain rated at 154? He has not fought at 154 since his win over Verno Phillips on the 29th of November ’08. His last fight was at 160 & his upcoming bout with Martinez is also scheduled for middleweight.
Paul Williams

The second option should read, he should be removed (as he is also currently rated at 160)

Should Verno Phillips (currently #3) remain rated? He has not fought since losing to Paul Williams on the 29th of November ’08?
Verno Phillips

He should move to the pool. If he won't make 154 for the Martinez fight, then it suggests he can't make the weight any more to me. Drop him.

I say move him to the pool if he hasn't signed a fight by March we need to drop him altogether, because it will have been 2 years since he won.

I agree, he is rated at 160 & if he does return to 154 I don't think it would be against anyone other than a rated fighter. There's no need for him to be in the pool here imo

Vanes has been doing a lot recently to be worthy of entry & I think this fight is more than deserving of entry. Granted Ouma hasn't been great of late, but all his losses since the Taylor fight have been close & controversial. If he beats a fight of Martirosyan's quality, he deserves to be back in the mix. Equally a win for Martirosyan is the proof that he's becoming a major player in the division & a title shot will surely be up next.

Anyway, your views?

Hell no. Vanes hasn't stepped up his comp level. And Ouma is just done

I said yes, because the division is full of part timers. It's not ideal, but we need bodies in there.

Personally I'd still...shocker...put Lopez well ahead of Vanes or a used up Ouma.Needs to fight at 154 again but I think rank is long overdue

Should Lyell remain in the pool following his 10th round TKO defeat to Sebastian Sylvester?

Billy Lyell

He is a defined gatekeeper, I think he should stay in the pool. If he doesn't win or fight again in the next 4 months then drop him.

Billy Lyell is removed from the pool
