Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

Oh please God, not again...

[metropol]

Again you have included dunne who is not british. If you want to include Irish fighters then should andy lee not get a place? as a lot of people would feel he would be above dunneaybe mcloskey and macklin deserve a place there especially macklin

Just out of interest, what has Macklin done of note?

[twenty six]

Please don't get me goin again.
If Macklin should be in, what about the British LM Champion ?
Forget about Dunne - fuckin Scott Harrison is still in at 16 and he ain't got a fuckin licence.

[Lenny]

Is Macklin classed as an Irish fighter and not a British fighter then?

[metropol]

Is Macklin classed as an Irish fighter and not a British fighter then?

British he is from birmingham, with strong Irish connections played hurling for county tipp

[liamlion]

Is Macklin classed as an Irish fighter and not a British fighter then?

He was born and bread in England with Irish parents. He considers himself Irish.

Nothing much exept he is a very talented fighter you could also say what has duddy done of note?

[liamlion]

For a start, Duddy remains unbeaten against slightly better opposition than Macklin has fought.

Duddy is also a lot more active and, despite his limitations, appears to be making some headway in the sport.

[SOUTHPAW]

Michael Jennings Should be higher(top 20)
John Duddy should not be there
Wayne Elcock should be much lower
Ryan Rhodes should just scrape in

[Horse]

Oh please God, not again...

I am sorry if you don't like it, Khaosai, but you can expect it again next month as well!

Irish fighters are allowed on the list. Andy Lee has not done enough to earn a place in the top 30, especially not enough to be placed ahead of Dunne.

aybe mcloskey and macklin deserve a place there especially macklin

After beating Wright, McCloskey is getting close to a place on the list. Macklin needs to stay active and beat more decent fighters before I can put him in the top 30, because at the moment he is not even close to a place.

Just out of interest, what has Macklin done of note?

I would say these were the most note worthy fights he has had: Losing in a very good fight with Jamie Moore, losing to Andrew Facey and beating Luis Ramon Campas.

[tyson]

Why Scott Harrison still in them he has not boxed for more then 12 months
Thought John Murray may have scrapped in .

[Horse]

Scott Harrison will be removed next month, for the start of the new boxing season, unless there is a big change in his circumstances.

I am not sure who will replace him, but I have a month to figure that out.

[metropol]

Horse I know a lot of people will call this nit picking but could you call this list british and Irish p4p top30? A la british and Irish lions

[metropol]

Michael Jennings Should be higher(top 20)
John Duddy should not be there
Wayne Elcock should be much lower
Ryan Rhodes should just scrape in

I think John duddy does deserve a place afterall he is 25-0 and improving. He has also beaten eastman who is long past his best but still a though test.

[stujones]

I know you don't like moving people down when they have won.... but Danny Williams moving up after that lazy, inept display when he showed he is just for the taking... sorry can't agree there. Even aside from a decision in which most seem to think he was lucky to get (I wasn't) - he was awful... shot.

Just wandering.... if Rogan smashes Audley - would he be considered.

Have you considered Sprott - cause lets not forget... He beat Williams in their last meeting... he smashed Audley (who technically should be ranked above Williams - given that he beat him last time they fought) and he actually held Skelton to a MD last time.

[Horse]

Michael Jennings Should be higher(top 20)

Jennings has not done much lately, which has led to him having a relatively low ranking.

John Duddy should not be there

Duddy beat Eastman when Eastman was still in the top 30, so I think he has done enough to earn a place on the list.

Wayne Elcock should be much lower

Yes, Elcock is perhaps a little too high.

Ryan Rhodes should just scrape in

I can see why you would want Rhodes in your top 30, but in my opinion he has only had one big win in the last 5 years (Woolcombe), and in my opinion a win over Woolcombe is not enough to put him in above those currently at the bottom of my list.

[BigEars]

It's a disgrace that you're even thinking about dropping Harrison, it's only been close to 3 years since his last fight.
After 4 he should be moved into the bottom half for inactivity and after 5 he could be considered for removal if someone else is strongly pushing the top 30.

Agreed why is he there? can you change the title please of the thread?

Yes why isnt john murray in ?

[Horse]

Why Scott Harrison still in them he has not boxed for more then 12 months

I have decided to take Scott Harrison out next month as that is the start of the next boxing season.

Thought John Murray may have scrapped in .

I considered entering John Murray into my list, but he has only just won the British title and although his win over Lee Meager was very impressive, I would prefer to see him beat more than one quality opponent before I enter him into the list.

[Horse]

Horse I know a lot of people will call this nit picking but could you call this list british and Irish p4p top30? A la british and Irish lions

I would rather leave the name as it is; I hope this does not cause any offence.
