    Not the worst list but I would make my list on what they have acheieved at the weight and what there other opponents have done aswell. I think Bute makes Froch look silly but his wins over Taylor and Pascal are a little better for me then Bute's wins over Andrade Bika and Berrio.

    1.Ward
    2.Froch
    3.Bute
    4.Abraham
    5.Kessler
    6.Dirrell
    7.Bika
    8.Andrade
    9.Green
    10.Miranda

    Now many may say why Miranda ahead of Stieglitz the fact that he has a strap maybe sway if for some but until they fight I have Miranda ahead just.

    6-10 is quite hard to put in order, I dont know how you can have Abraham ahead of Froch at 168 Nameless, Abraham did exactly the same as Froch did to Taylor but Froch has Pascal and Dirrell on his resume.

    I don't get why Green is so high? I'd have Bika and Dirrell above him.

    And I'd throw Balzsay on the bottom (above Andrade, even though that formline doesn't work). His loss to Stieglitz was a bit freakish (winning fight, all of a sudden went to bits, needed hospital treatment).

    I'd have it the same way except I'd put Bute at 2 but any order they are in, I don't care. I completely agree with Fenster, Allan Green has done nothing but talk his way into the rankings, he actually hasn't proven anything and no way he should be ranked higher then Bika, Miranda and ESPECIALLY Dirrell.

    Skel, I place Abraham before Froch because Froch got schooled big time by Taylor, even got floored and got away with it because Taylor lacks the energy to get the job's done. NOt Abraham. He won most of the rounds, didn't get schooled the way Froch did and got the big K.O necessary at the end. For that element, I would place Abraham Ahead of Froch. It is a bit hard to place them exactly in order though but I think that this taylor's element make it fair to place Abraham in front.
