Any comments or criticisms of the British Top 30 P4P list are very welcome.

[crusader]

Nice list

I'd have Brook ahead of Magee but it's arguable. I'm glad Ola moved up; he deserves a high ranking.

[JDC]

Good list

[BoxingAnalyst]

Very good list, Horse.

[Adamj1987]

Id swap rees and barker around

[Bryn]

Do you have a divisional breakdown, Horse?

Good list

Thank you.

[Bryn]

Do you have a divisional breakdown, Horse?

What about this question, Horse?

[NazNaci1]

Solid list, as always, mate.

Mitchell and Cleverley still a little too high, for my liking but I can understand the reasoning. I might have placed Matthews and Hope, little higher, personally but its a minor point

No.

[Bryn]

Gavin Rees should be above Kevin Mitchell.

[Horse]

Personally i'd like to see Lee Haskins in there somewhere. Current British Champion, Hasn't lost since 2007 including a win over your #9 ranked fighter and won Prizefighter too....He's fighting Stephane Jamoye for the Euro title so surely winning that would see him enter the top 30??

Haskins has been too inactive.

If he beats Jamoye, then he will re-enter the rankings.

[Horse]

Very good list, Horse.

[Pampilset]

A quality list from a quality Horse

[milpool]

Chisora moves up a place?

[Horse]

Id swap rees and barker around

If Rees beats Mathews next month then he will overtake Barker.

Barker hasn't fought for 8 months and hasn't won a fight in 13 months, so he will be falling down the rankings fairly steadily until he fights again.

[earsjohn]

Martin Murray feels low for an unbeaten former UK champion with a creditable draw in the backyard of a world belt holder. Particularly with Macklin at 9.

just thinking the same.

[Horse]

Thank you.

Mitchell and Cleverley still a little too high, for my liking but I can understand the reasoning.

Neither is really doing anything at the moment. I can see why some people might want them lower.

I might have placed Matthews and Hope, little higher, personally but its a minor point

Mathews lost to Marsili in January, so that stopped him entering higher than he did after beating Crolla.

Hope had an excellent win against Proksa, but it might have just been a fluke. If he can beat Proksa again in July then he will be rising up a number of places.

[Horse]

Gavin Rees should be above Kevin Mitchell.

I think Mitchell's win against Murray is better than all of Rees's recent wins. I think Mitchell should be higher than Rees for now.

[Horse]

A quality list from a quality Horse

Thank you.

[Bryn]

Nice to see you've joined the darkside on ESB, Horse.

[Horse]

Haskins has been too inactive.
If he beats Jamoye, then he will re-enter the rankings.

Haye has fought once in the last 17 months, Haskins has fought 5 times during that spell (albeit 3 were on the same night in Prizefighter)

Haye is a former undisputed cruiserweight and former WBA heavyweight champion. Haskins hasn't reached that level, so he can't afford to be so inactive.
