All no. 1 contenders or champions. One of them KTFO Lucian Bute. Yet they are all awful.

LOL at you claiming any of those fighters to have been 'champions'

and yes they are still awful.

If they are awful I wonder what you call fighters from the lower half of the top 10 and below.

Seriously.

Sorry but beating up guys that are better than bums doesn't make you a great. This is just a case of you reaching for your favourite fighter, Kessler isn't a wimp but fighting Sartison or Mundine is not proof of that.

Don't spin my words to fit your agenda. Thing is you called them awful. What's your word for fighters from the lower half of the top ten?

Its a simple question.

Worse than awful, in reality it depends, being rated higher doesn't necessarily make you better.

I don't know about that. I believe that Ward was on a shortlist of potential Kessler opponents that would make US tv. I think Sauerlland said so, but frankly I don't know whether its true or not. Sauerlands credit has for me taken a hit in the last months.

For a Kessler- Ward fight to make it to US TV it would have to be in the US.

Kessler's team starts off any talk of a potential fight by saying what a big event it would be in Denmark. Never going to happen with Ward, so unless Kessler commits himself to fighting in hostile territory again he doesn't really have that many options at 168.

Even if Kessler wanted to I think there is a good chance Sauerland doesn't let him. They were embarassed in the Super 6 going in with 2 favored fighters and not even coming close to winning it. They never took responsibility for any of the losses finding excuses about being cheated each time. Chances are they don't want to let either Abraham or Kessler out of their sight and out of the grasp of their paid off judges and refs.

It's just a tune-up for Kessler.

I'm guessing Sauerland wants Stieglitz vs Abraham rather than stieglitz vs Kessler.

So because Kessler doesn't get the paper belt he wanted he leaves the division? Man up and fight the winner of Froch/Bute, Mikkell.

By your ratingssystem, there's little room for decent, average, good, very good or great fighters. In other words your system sucks.

I Think you are right in the fight has to be in the US to be made. Ward doesnt have a passport.
