lol...this guy...****in' RUINED...lol
I will now grade the seven relevant fighters at 168...this is in an overall P4P sense...this...is where they truly stand.
Ward A-
Dirrell B+
Bute B
Abraham B-
Froch, Kessler, and Green C+
In regards to Froch-Kessler...that fight was an absolute CLUSTER****...the lack of skills and accuracy was so horrendous that it was outright painful to watch...
Seriously...and I'm borrowing this line from an old friend..."If I saw those two fighting outside my window, I would close the blinds and call the cops.".
at your p4p list.
1: How can Ward be A- based on him beating 2 C fighters?
2: How can Dirrell be B+ when he lost to a C-level fighter?
3: How can AA be B- when he hasn't beaten anybody? Don't give me Taylor because Froch, who's C-level, KO'ed Taylor in his hometown.
4: Who has Green beat to warrant a ranking at the level of Froch and Kessler?
Epic fail.Comment

My post was about ranking I'm afraid. Not about who's best. IMO the best SMW in the world is Andre Ward.
at your p4p list.

2: How can Dirrell be B+ when he lost to a C-level fighter?
3: How can AA be B- when he hasn't beaten anybody? Don't give me Taylor because Froch, who's C-level, KO'ed Taylor in his hometown.

1. Andre Ward
2. Lucian Bute
3. Mikkel Kessler
4. Carl Froch
5. Andre Direll
6. Arthur Abraham
This list is made out of accomplishments, not skills, talent and potential. Cause then I'd rate Andre Direll higher. But who's done more at SMW? Undeafeated champions Bute and Ward. Ward beat the number one guy and had already killed Edison Miranda, and now humiliated Allan Green. Lucian Bute, could be number one, but I choose to rate him number 2, because of my philosophy of beating nr 1 guy, makes you number 1 (if you've done something at the weight before). Lucian is a very talented southpaw, and will start to have some fun fights the next three years. He's undefeated IBF champion and has dominated most opponents, that's why he's number two.
Mikkel Kessler, were the number one guy before, got humiliated by Ward - so what. He came back against an undefeated akward champion, Carl Froch. Gave him the fight of his life, and won it clearly (116-112, or at worst 115-113, couldn't possibly have went any other way). And the rest of his accomplishments talks for itself, three time world champion.
Carl Froch has still got a VERY solid resume, (JT, Jean Pascal, Andre Direll, Robin Reid and Brian Magee). A loss to Kessler, really is no shame. Which is one of the reasons I rate him at spot number 4. He really fought everyone out there. Plus most of his accomplishments were at 168.
Andre Direll - has not been doing too much around 168, lost a SD to Carl Froch - which I think is very fair, as he didn't doo much. And if you want to take the crown, them claim what's yours, if you're no better, leave it on the head of the champion. But he beat a strong Arthur Abraham. This guy has got all the potential in the World, a good fight vs. Ward can rate him higher, even with a loss. It all comes down to how he looks in the fight.
Arthur Abraham - great MW, but got fooled around of Andre Direll. The JT fight were close, almost got exposed there also. Hasn't done anything great at SMW, yet.
Allan Green nr. 78. This guy has got no heart at all......Comment
