    Top 10 160-175lbs

    1. Joe Calzaghe- Undisputed, undefeated, 21 tilte defenses. Ring Magaazine Super Middle weight champ, Ring Magazine LH champ. doesn't have many fights left in him, But I have him #1 for now.

    2. Kelly Pavlik- Undefeated, Undisputed Middleweight Champ. Sky is the limit for him, And if he KO's B-Hop then maybe he could be #1. Only 26 years old is a big positive for him also.

    3. Bernard Hopkins- I know alot of people would disagree with me on this one, But the guy is a freak of nature, 43, and still a very good fighter. Gave Calzaghe everything he could handle. Some even thought Hopkins won. Something tells me he won't be #3 come October 18 though. Ring Magazine #2 LH.

    4. Mikkel Kessler- Only lost was to Calzaghe in a great fight. He is the future of the SM division, but has to step up th elevel of competition.

    5. Arthur Abraham- Undefeated, just KO'd Edison Miranda in an impressive manner, probably Pavlik biggest threat at MW. Great power, solid defense.

    6. Chad Dawson- Undefeated LHW contender, probably has the brightest future at LHW. I think he beats Tarver next month no question. Chin is not the best , But has good skills, good workrate.

    7. Jermain Taylor- only fighter he lost to was Pavlik. He beat Hopkins twice. People tend to forget about him for some reason. Still a very good fighter. Should beat Jeff Lacy with ease.

    8. Antonio Tarver- I know Tarver is rated higher then Dawson, But he has beaten the better competition of the two. Talks better then he fight similar to Hopkins. Has had a good career, But I think this is his last big fight before hanging it up. His last fight with Clinton Woods was a borefest.

    9. Lucian Bute- I know he hasn't really beatin anyboby, But I'm putting him at #9 cause he has LOADS of potential. In 5 years he could easily be #1 on my list. He could probably beat some guys on my list already.


    10. Carl Froch- His biggest test to date is against Canada's Jean Pascal. has a great sneaky Uppercut that comes from nowhere. Time is against him he is 31, And a win aginst Pascal should catapolt him to a fight with Kessler or maybe a fight with Jermain Taylor.


    Next in line... Felix Sturm,Glenn johnson, Anthony Mundine, Dennis Inkin,

    I wouldn't rank Abraham or Kessler over Dawson, simply because Chad has fought the better opponents and his only fight where he didn't look all that impressive was against Johnson, a top 3 light heavyweight and also a fight that he WON. Former WBC champion and could be IBO/IBF champ this time next month.

      That's a very reasonable list.

        I would think the winner of Dawson-Tarver would jump over him anyway.

              You're right. It's all subjective. But I wouldn't argue with this list.

                Your list is fine, its just i PERSONALLY wouldn't rank Abraham or Kessler over Dawson. Abraham only has a paper belt becuase Pavlik is the recognized champion at middlweight, and i was just never too impressed with Kessler. Very overrated and when he was tested for the first time, didn't even put up a close fight and was pretty much done mid rounds.

                    Kessler would KO your boy Dawson for sure

                    Dawson vs Abraham could go either way...Dawson by UD or Abraham by KO

                    Your boy Dawson is a good talented fighter, but he has mediocre defense and he's very chinny...He's gonna get KO'd and exposed soon.
