Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

[righthook]

no tony bellew??????

hes 16-0. and has 2 titles.

[Newport Daz]

I think it's spot on actually. Mitchell and Magee deserve their spots in the top 10. I agree there's a case for Bomber being somewhere between 25-30, but it's certainly not outrageous that he's omitted. He may have 2 titles but the opposition has been pretty poor, plus the struggles with Ajisaf and Mckenzie (first fight), so there's no problem imo. Good list.

[damianhucker1]

theres always positions that can be argued , but overall ive no major issues , i dont like seeing ricky burns so high as i dont reckon too much to him buts hes a world champ so cant argue too much .

[addi]

I'd swap Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly.

and hatton for brook.

[dewipowell]

Kell Brook and Anthony Crolla would be higher in my list but that's a good list.

You can't say things like that, Billy Nelson will come on and call you a cock, mature man that he is.

[whiskey]

I can see why Haye has moved down the ladder after falling out of fashion, but the reality is he is still up there with Froch with achievements and a solid no2.

Rather than jostling between Clev and Khan.

Disagree, I think 3 is right for Haye - who has he beaten in the last year? Khan has just partially unified the Light Welterweight title.

Having said that, I do think you've given Brian Magee a tad too much credit for his last win.... his opponent was possibly the worst I have ever seen sanctioned for a vacant world title in history.... a career long Light Middle, who not even shown himself to be European class at that weight.

Well done for Magee for getting the win away from home and all that, but it was a poor match up for a world title.

[The 1bangkid]

good list

[Horse]

I'd swap Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly.

I didn't think Burns' win against Cook merited overtaking Cleverly.

I wasn't impressed by his win against McKenzie.

I didn't think he deserved to be ranked ahead of Crolla, DeGale, Arron or Booth who are currently in the bottom four places of the top 30, so I left him out.

Yep, Burns is the WBO champion and he does have a good win against Martinez, so I think he does deserve his high ranking at the moment.

[arzilo2]

Why ain't lee Haskins on there he deserves to be.

[Matchfixer]

Where would you put Barker if he beats Martinez ? (ignoring all other fights between now and then)

[Horse]

I'd swap Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly.

and hatton for brook.

Hatton has achieved more than Brook.

[REEVE]

Why ain't lee Haskins on there he deserves to be.

yeah haskins should be on there after his win in africa

Kell Brook and Anthony Crolla would be higher in my list but that's a good list.

Haye has been in the No. 3 position since January, after Khan beat Maidana to move above him.

In the last three years Haye's wins are considerably less impressive than Froch's and Khan's.

Well done for Magee for getting the win away from home and all that, but it was a poor match up for a world title.

His opponent wasn't world class, but Magee picked up an interim belt and with his decent showing against Bute and his recent European title reign, I thought he deserved to move up a few places.

[Horse]

good list

[leforge]

I'd swap Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly.

and hatton for brook.

Hatton has achieved more than Brook.

Former European champion so he position is rightly above Brook. But if Brook wins against a good opponent next time he should go above Hatton.

[Horse]

Why ain't lee Haskins on there he deserves to be.

His win against Bouleghcha was good, but he has been too inactive over the last 18 months. If he picks up another win like his last one then he will probably enter.
