[Horse]

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

[forcefraser]

Martin Murray at nr 2 is a bit dodgy in my eyes.

[jessi]

Swop fury with Frampton

[BAP1]

Not a bad list

My definition of P4P is who would beat who if they were at the same weight I'd have james DeGale and frankie Gavin higher. However some of the guys on this list simply hasn't fought high level opponents

[Pugilist-specialist]

Martin Murray at nr 2 is a bit dodgy in my eyes.

Sky have him at the same position but they've got Quigg 12 places higher.

Martin Murray at nr 2 is a bit dodgy in my eyes.

He arguably beat Martinez less than a year ago. His place is deserved.

[Horse]

Swop fury with Frampton

Fury should not be below Brook.

Who should replace them?

[Pugilist-specialist]

Galahad is European champ and should be above Gavin.

[Crazyboy]

Galahad is European champ and should be above Gavin.

despite the politics hall should be above cleverley as well

[palooka]

Has Andy Lee just become Irish?

[Ian1973]

Kevin Mitchell will soon be fighting for a world title, he is entitled to be in that list somewhere surely?

[JamieM]

No what I can't stand about these rankings? Soon as someone gets beat your drastically drop them in the rankings, for example Ricky burns dropping from 3 to 8 while afolabi rises despite having not fought since your last rankings! Ricky gt beat from a genuine world class fighter who for me will make world p4p rankings. Ricky is also in a better position than most you have above them and will fight for a
World title proberly before the year is out!!

[Horse]

Galahad is European champ and should be above Gavin.

Prado isn't very good though. Gavin has a better record than Galahad.

[Horse]

despite the politics hall should be above cleverley as well

Hall would have overtaken Cleverly if he beat Ward, but it was a TD so he didn't.

[Horse]

Has Andy Lee just become Irish?

No.

[palooka]

Has Andy Lee just become Irish?

No.

Then why was he ranked before?

[Horse]

Kevin Mitchell will soon be fighting for a world title, he is entitled to be in that list somewhere surely?

No, Mitchell has not beaten anyone except bums since Burns destroyed him. Mitchell does not deserve a world title shot.

[expe]

Galahad is European champ and should be above Gavin.

Give over, Galahad beat a Spanish binman, he's moved up way too far as it is, Cleverly, Hall, Rose, Saunders, Crolla, Maccarinelli, Smith, Dickinson and Butler should all be above him.

Burns has been awful recently.

Crawford is nothing special and Burns let him take his title without putting up a proper fight.

Burns needs to sort his head out, his performance against Crawford was pathetic.

[palooka]

Burns will be better for knowing his jaw held up for 12 rounds.

[JamieM]

Crawford isn't world class? Don't be silly the guy fought within himself at burns he's a talented guy, so burns is ranked above afolabi and looses a
World title fight and during that time afolabi had been inactive yet afolabi moves above him, how do you do you work them put? Pick them out a hat? Martin Murray is ranked number 2 yet he lost a world title And was brutal in his last fight, just saying:p

[palooka]

That's a fair comment I think, Murray did look awful last time and if he were ranked on that he wouldn't be in the top 30. You can't rank the boxer based on their best ever performance (can you), what about their most recent?

[lefty]

Martin Murray at nr 2 is a bit dodgy in my eyes.

He arguably beat Martinez less than a year ago. His place is deserved.

He didnt know on paper which is what matters in those rankings and also Martinez is on the slide.
