Results have to count for something and actually be the basis of the list though, otherwise it's not a credible list at all and it might aswell just be a list of your favourite fighters. Murray above Barker is a joke. His best win is Nick Blackwell however unlucky he's been. Darren Barker is world champion

Barker holds a world title and deserves to be higher and above any fighter on the list who is not World champion and especially if they are in his own weight class.
The Donkey does use his own scores and that's why it is utter Bollox.

I didn't think beating Simpson on short notice at lightweight was enough to earn a place.

Quigg only managed a draw with Salinas recently. Quigg needs to beat better opposition to enter the top 10.

Why not?

And I thought Murray deserved the nod.

I disagree. World titles are nice, but they don't guarantee a higher ranking than a non-champion.

Chisora has lost everytime he has moved into European level - okay Horse you might have had him beating Heulenius (yonks ago now) but whilst Clev got done against the ever improving Kovalev - no one can deny he is geniune European class.

Think Cleverly at the bottom half of a P4P list is a bit much. The guy is a geniune European title level fighter, which is about the level of many in the top 10.
Cleverly hasn't had a win against a good opponent in over two years and he was recently destroyed against Kovalev.

Cleverly has to beat good opponents to maintain a high ranking, but he hasn't been doing that recently so he's dropping.

And Chisora's good win was over? and when? - Helenius was 2 years ago also (even if you want to say he won).

Chisora's win against Scott is better than anything Cleverly has done lately.
