How would you rate the super middleweights?

[The Hammer]

The 168 division is loaded with talented fighters. With the win over Miranda, Andre Ward can now be added to the list of bona fide top contenders...

How do you rate the top super middleweights? Who are the cream of the crop - who might the titleholders be in a year or two?

How will the young Americans like Ward and Andre Dirrell do against the current titleholders: Froch, Bute, Kessler and Balzsay?

[Mary Jane]

Bute
Froch
Kessler
Ward
Green

I don't know about a top 10 list I would have to take some time to seriously think about it, but a #1 slot cannot be determined in my opinion without a fight involving Kessler.

[Silencers]

1. Kessler
2. Bute
3. Froch
4. Balszay
5. Andrade
6. Ward
7. Dirrell
8. Bika (Needs to be more active, can be higher)
9. Taylor
10. Inkin or Green

That's off the top of my head, I could be wrong.

i think the next 2 guys in the top ten who face up should be considered #1 ... kessler not stepping up and fighting some top 10 comp would hurt him in this fast moving talent rich division ... if bute unifies he'd be the #1 dood imo

[mathed]

Kessler is the most fundamentally sound boxer in the division although esoteric. I would then have Bute, Froch, Green (solely because he does not have a belt), Ward, Dirrell

[Cadillac Man]

From 1-10 it might be the most deep divison in Boxing... Abraham and Pavlik will be there soon, Ward,Dawson if the fight presents itself,Dirrell,Froch,Taylor,Bute,Andrade,Kessler,G reen future studs like Korobov,Jacobs,Estrada,Guerrero all will be in that weight range. This division will be STACKED for years to come!

[The Gunner]

Kessler
Froch
Bute
Taylor

sc from bad left hook made a list a couple weeks back ... here it is for those interested http://www.badlefthook.com/2009/4/26...-middleweights

[warp1432]

1. Kessler
2. Bute
3. Froch
4. Andrade
5. Taylor
6. Balzsay
7. Ward
8. Bika
9. Green
10. Direll

I think Bute could be a huge problem for Kessler.
