Froch to be in with somone of note - Taylor, Kessler or Inkin. I think once he gets the WBC title the Taylor match up is most likely. Want to see if he has what it takes to compete at world class level.Quote:

Also the prospects Ward and Dirrell.
I edited and added Bika to the list. I agree the division is very tough.
How would you rank the fighters on that list? Kessler at the top and then...
168 has got sme great possiblr fights id like to see any of these made:
Taylor v Kessler
Taylor v Froch
Froch v Kessler
Bute v Kessler
Bute v Irkin
Bika v Andrade
Bika v Miranda
Miranda v Andrade
Lacy v Green.
But the top two for me would be:
Taylor V kessler
Miranda v Andrade
Which green are you talking about? Danny green is retired ;)

Andrade makes for a good fight against anyone. I doubt Bute is stepping up his competition after being nearly knocked out by Andrade (I understand he won the fight).
Kessler v. Taylor would be a great match.
How would you rank the super-middleweights?
Jermain Taylor vs Mikkel Kessler
Lucian Bute vs Librado Andrade 2
Carl Froch vs Andre Ward
Sakio Bika vs Edison Miranda
1. Kessler
2. Bute
3. Taylor
4. Froch
5. Irkin
6. Bika
7. Pascal
8. Andrade
9. Miranda
10. Lacy
I don't know about any of you but as far as a redemption fight goes Lacy-Miranda looks pretty good to me.
I think Taylor-Green would be a decent match up as well.
Kessler-Bute is a MUST
My changes:Quote:

- Inkin (admittedly don't know much about him but he doesn't look to be anything very special from what I can see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16Yim74HMg8)
- Ward
- Miranda
Kessler-Froch
Kessler-Miranda
Miranda-Andrade
Froch-Inkin
Froch-Miranda
Taylor-Bute
...surely Taylor-Miranda has to be on your wish list Mick
Somewhere on there surely.Quote:

I think Taylor-Bute matchup well and it would make for an interesting fight.
Im a big Lucian Bute fan and i'd love to see Jermain Taylor vs Lucian Bute, two skilled outside fighters. In a high paced chess match with lots of skills, interesting match up. And i would for certain pay to see it.Quote:

Spot on ICB, my thoughts are the same...Quote:

THE fight at SMW I want to see is Dirrell v. Ward. I think both these guys are better than anyone is willing to say because they have underperformed and been absent. I think they both are ready now to take a run at the top guys and I'd love to see them in against each other, but it's like sleeping with that really hot girl; you want to work your way up to it rather than just diving in, but if she lets you know, you'll take it. I'll take a Dirrell-Ward now, but it'll be so much better if we wait for it.
I'd love to see Green mop up Miranda at SMW to prove that it was the weight the first time out (even though Green is an arrogant prick).
Taylor v. Green would be fantastic.
Kessler is the top guy so far as I'm concerned so anyone who separates from the rest of the pack to fight him would be good.
I'd like to see Froch fight anybody. I've never seen him before. Even though the way the fight was officiated was BS, I'd like to see Bute again. The guy is good when he isn't clinching as part of his strategy.
How about Sakio Bika v. Librado Andrade?
Mundine v any top 5 opponent, anywhere, anytime or is he fighting chumps down at Middleweight these days?
Seriously this bloke would be perfectly cast as 'The Artful Dodger' in the next remake of OLIVER on Broadway!
I have never known a fighter who is so reluctant to take the next step up in competition and at least try and test himself.
Kessler-Taylor is the best fight to be made at 168.
I may agree with you there or Bute v. Taylor.Quote:

behind that.
Taylor just needs to fight anyone else on that list (I think Andrade would be a horrible choice.)
Taylor V Pascal/Froch should be next on the horizon. Just hope Kessler fights at least one of the others while he's waiting for that particular piece of dust to settle. Doubt they could tempt Bute out of Canada yet, and doubt anyone else with half a brain would risk going over there.
Bika/Miranda/Andrade makes an entertaining merry go round as well.
Sakio Bika vs Librado Andrade were scheduled to fight last year i believe, but Sakio Bika pulled out. I hope they can make the fight this time, because it has FOTY written all over it.
