Kessler - When does his MIA status and lack of quality opponents affect his ranking?

[Rantcatrat]

Although Kessler is most famous for his loss against Calzaghe, he hasn't fought any real competition since that fight. Before that fight, his biggest wins were over Andrade, Beyer, and Mundine. Good wins, but he hasn't won a big fight since March of 2007 and his most recent opponents, Haussler and Sartison are European level club fighters at best. Coupled with the fact he is marred in a promotional dispute and hasn't fought in six months, Kessler's career is in a downward spiral. However, he is still ranked #1 by Ring Magazine.

Bute's wins are not quite as good, but are comparable (Andrade, Bika, Zuniga, and Berrio), and he has never lost a fight. Froch just travelled to the United States to fight Jermain Taylor and Librado Andrade won against Tyspko.
