Lacy is the no. 1 US SMW but would he be in top25 SMW of Europe?

Just under Chanet

...Are you serious? Wow I disagree STRONGLY (seems to be a theme with me and you regarding rankings ). First off Chanet got a gift defeating Tyspko. The fight was a draw at least. Then he went on to get KO'd. How is he over Lacy? I mean...I could see an argument for Beyer, but Chanet has looked less then impressive in his last two fights. I would have Lacy #3 behind Kessler. Outside of Chanet, Mkrtchian has beat absolutely noone. I would have a little difficulty placing him in the top 10, running through my head I would probably have him at 10 but above Lacy? Sure he got beat and beat bad but he's still beat better opposition then those two combined. I wouldn't complain with having Beyer over Lacy, it's close, but I would really like to hear explanations on Mkrtchian and Chanet. Especially Chanet.

When you ask me about ranking someone...I'm sitting here argueing a point on right now...not overall.

No way in hell do I feel that Chanet or Mkrwho? are better than Lacy...but Lacy aint fighting right now...so how do you factor him in. He hasn't made a squeek since the beating & those are the guys that have just so recently fought.

I have Lacy above Chanet & behind Mkrtchian because he took Chanet's spot. Dawson hasnt fought the world...but he's been coming up & he's been just as impressive as all the rest. Basically here's how I'd have it:

1: Joe Calzaghe
2: Mikkel Kessler
3: Markus Beyer
4: Chad Dawson
5: Mger Mkrtchian
6: Jeff Lacy
7: Jackson Chanet
8: Danny Green
9: Brian Magee
10: Anthony Mundine

I like the list but would put Mundine as no. 3 and Chanet out of top 10 - else very good ranking

Remember that Chanet and his time said no to fight Kessler even Chanet was mandatory to Kessler's WBA title....
