[arzilo2]

[iamasadlittleboy]

[15829]

why is duddy,cook,dunne,hatton still in the list

will smith be in it if he beats simpson

[Tommy Gunn13]

Matthew Hatton has made a big jump

[Horse]

After craig mcewans nxt win will he get in? his record is no worse than barkers...

It depends on who he fights.

McEwan is close to a place on the list now, if he gets another win or two like his recent wins then he should enter the list.

[Horse]

why is dunne still there he is RETIRED.

Dunne has not been inactive for over 12 months, so I consider him an active fighter.

[Craig14]

Audley Harrison at 20 - not even his mum would have him that high!!!

[stujones]

Craig Watson above John O Donnell is a bit baffling.

No Lenny Daws yet?

[slapbangwhallop]

Andy Lee at 25, Mattie Hatton at 10! I rest my case!

[xXHAMMERXx]

Craig Watson above John O Donnell is a bit baffling.

No Lenny Daws yet?

So is matthew hatton witch Watson beat

[Horse]

Dunne's retired, Ricky's as good as

I plan to take Dunne out next month.

If Hatton retires then I will take him out.

[Horse]

why is duddy,cook,dunne,hatton still in the list

Duddy has some good wins on his record and his recent loss was against a good fighter.

Cook was the WBO champion less than 18 months ago, Dunne was WBA champion less than a year ago and Hatton was the Ring/Lineal champion 15 months ago.

will smith be in it if he beats simpson

He has a very good chance of entering if he beats Simpson.

[alexpaterson]

I would have Simpson higher after his good run of form, Rhodes higher than Macklin and I would still have Appelby in even though he lost to Lindsay . As always a good list

[Horse]

Matthew Hatton has made a big jump

He beat a good fighter, so he made a big jump.

Matthew Hatton has a good recent record and I think he deserves a place in the top 10.

[Craig14]

You still haven't said anything about Fraudley at number 20! Tell you the truth I have to keep looking at it to make sure i'm not too pissed!!!

[Horse]

Audley Harrison at 20 - not even his mum would have him that high!!!

Harrison won the European title, so I though he should have a place on the list for that. I admit that I enterted him too high and he should be a few places lower.

You still haven't said anything about Fraudley at number 20! Tell you the truth I have to keep looking at it to make sure i'm not too pissed!!!

I try to respond to posts in order. I have been slow to respond to posts this month, so I am sorry about the wait.

[Craig14]

About 20 places lower! Cheers for the reply..

[Dioufy]

Excellent list, Horse.

[Horse]

Craig Watson above John O Donnell is a bit baffling.

O'Donnell's win over Watson was over 15 months ago and it was a very close fight. Watson has better wins than O'Donnell has since their fight and Watson has a much better overall record than O'Donnell.

No Lenny Daws yet?

I don't think Daws deserves to be in the rankings at the moment. He only managed a draw with Cook in a recent fight, so I think that has to count against him.

[whiskey]

Why is Khan at number 2?

who has he fought that is mustard ?

Malignaggi lost 2 of his previous 4 fights and prior to that, nobody in particular.

Matthew Hatton is waaay to high and is ahead of every Welter in the UK according to that list, even the likes of Watson. He has been beaten several times, suffered draws in recent fights and was dropped. John O'Donnell aint even on the list, who edged Watson, who dominated Hatton.

Wheras Darren Barker is unbeaten and regarded as up there at the top of his peers in Britain.

[Counter-puncher]

I would have Simpson higher after his good run of form, Rhodes higher than Macklin and I would still have Appelby in even though he lost to Lindsay . As always a good list

good points alex. i wouldn't personally have the patience to do what horse does so fair play to him.

[Horse]

Andy Lee at 25, Mattie Hatton at 10! I rest my case!

What is your case?

If Lee had fought someone decent last month then I could have moved him up a few places. Unfortunately, I considered his opponent to be too poor to merit even a single place movement up the rankings.

I consider Matthew Hatton's recent wins to be better than any of the fighter's ranked below him, including Andy Lee's.
