Take Khan out please. Khan is a bum, how long till he encounters his third un-avenged knockout, just a matter of time until he meets a decent puncher, before people realize this. Journeyman.
Mine...
1) Froch - his record speaks for itself
2) Haye - for his size the man is an elite.he is a midget next to wlad and yet still managed to take him the distance.he has an awesome blend of speed and power
3) Kahn - the fastest hands in history of boxing.his athleticism has seen him win 3 belts at 2 weights.very flawed in terms of defence and punch resistance yet his success to date speaks volumes of his potential.
4) Burns - what he lacks in skill he makes up for with his great conditioning and will to win
5) Brook - brook seems to be the real deal.he has great ring generalship and fights very smart.his accuracy,speed and power are all there.his journey to a world title has taken considerably longer than it should have due to what i believe to be a crap diet/conditioning regime.though now it looks as though all these issues have been addressed and brook is looking very very good.
6) Frampton - follow this mans career.he has ATG written all over him.he has serious knockout power,great skills and seems very dedicated.give it a year and frampton will make rigo answer some unanswered questions.this is a fight i am looking forward to
7) Groves - Groves brings great movement,speed and power into all his fights.he is very elusive and is great at getting in and out.i believe groves to be wards greatest emerging threat at 168
8) Cleverly - very talented.great athleticism.failed to live up to his name against kovalev.going off his last fight it would appear he lacks ring smarts
9) Maklin - imo the best of the 3 british middleweight standouts.lacks athleticism but has plenty of skill,power and heart
10) Barker - he proved he has skills and heart last time out against geale.he fought out of his skin last week and fully deserves his spot on my list yet i cant help but think he has punch resistance issues and at times it seems like he is there to be chopped down.sadly i think ggg eats him or breakfast in 1.
