This is the fifth anniversary of the British top 30 P4P rankings.

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to these threads in that time.

Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

As per usual brilliant list. Personally I would have Afolabi lower and Swifty and Simpson ahead of Hall!

[sendo]

I do not understand how Khan can be above Haye.

[Finch]

I do not understand how Khan can be above Haye.

I think the same about Froch.

Horse - does Haye go to numero uno is he beats Wlad?

I'd have Barker above Macklin, but I'm sure you've got your reasons not to.

Swifty and Simpson ahead of Hall

Not sure how you worked that out Alex mate? Hall is flying

Great list Horse, not a big poster myself but you always get it pretty spot on pal

[Captain Hook]

As per usual brilliant list. Personally I would have Afolabi lower and Swifty and Simpson ahead of Hall!

Alex - don't encourage him.

Five years of moving people up and down in the wrong order, and only now has Bob Fitzsimmons been dropped from top 10 for inactivity.

Three cheers for Horse? Neigh....... :)

Only messing Horse, not a bad list, and I would have Khan above Haye until he steps in and beats Klit.

[Dan Dares]

Nice one Horse - only thing i'd say, is i'd probably have Barker (13) at bit higher after his win, and Murray (8) a bit lower. Then it all starts getting a bit too complicated for me.

[Horse]

As per usual brilliant list.

Thank you very much.

Personally I would have Afolabi lower and Swifty and Simpson ahead of Hall!

Afolabi is currently Britain's No. 1 cruiserweight with a win against Maccarinelli and decent showing against Huck. His last opponent was pretty decent, so I think his current position is reasonable for now.

Hall is on very good form at the moment with wins against Power x2, Napa, Davies & Donnelly; so I think him being above Simpson and Smith is fair.

[Horse]

I do not understand how Khan can be above Haye.

In the last 2 years Khan has beaten: Kotelnik, Salita, Malignaggi, Maidana & McCloskey. Haye has beaten: Valuev, Ruiz & Harrison.

In my opinion Khan's recent record is much better than Haye's. If I judged it solely based on overall career records then Haye would probably be above Khan, but I don't and since Haye has not been doing much recently, Khan has overtaken him.

good list horse..as good as i could come up with for definite..in fact better bravo

[Horse]

I do not understand how Khan can be above Haye.

I think the same about Froch.

Horse - does Haye go to numero uno is he beats Wlad?

It depends on the nature of the win and what Khan and Froch do before then, but I think he is very likely to regain the top spot if he beats Wladimir.

I'd have Barker above Macklin, but I'm sure you've got your reasons not to.

Barker was out for a year before beating Spada, so that went against him.

I think it is a good list and I definitely agree with having Khan ahead of Haye.
