Still can't see why Groves is ahead of the likes of Lee & Selby. Top 10 for GG is very kind. A draw against Quillin in the US & Selby beating a recognised champion are surely better results than 2 ko losses to Froch! The rest of GG career is no better than either fighter.

The ending to Selby's fight was a bit dodgy.

If he'd beaten him properly then he'd probably be higher.

I wasn't as impressed by Selby as most people were.

I think he should rematch Gradovich and beat him properly.

He won all but one round and Gradovich was noticeably slowing down.
Its not Selby's fault the doctor stopped it.

Eubank Jnr and Frankie Gavin too high, Derry Matthews and Flannigan too low.

Can't see how Cleverley doesn't even make the top 30, but pretty good.

Lee almost lost to Horta about a year ago. Selby didn't beat Gradovich properly.

I think Groves would beat Lee and Selby in P4P fights.

It's not Froch's fault that Foster stopped the first Groves fight early, but it still didn't make it a proper win.

Gradovich deserved his chance and it isn't unrealistic that he could have turned things around.

DeGale didn't look great in the middle rounds himself though.

Khan stays above DeGale for now because of his much deeper record.

If's but's and maybes - Selby won every minute of the bout until it was stopped - very different from the first Froch v Groves contest.

Poor reasoning. Lee has gone from strength to strength and is considered one of the best at his weight. Selby was ahead on the cards and performing fantastically.

Groves is European level

Maybe Eubank Jr is a bit too high, his record is pretty shallow.

I really don't think Gavin is too high.

Mathews was fortunate to get the decision against Luis in his last fight and Luis is only ranked 68th by BoxRec (accurately or not). Mathews also lost to Ormond just under 18 months ago and was getting a hiding against Coyle before a come from behind knockout just under 2 years ago.

Flanagan can re-enter if he beats Zepeda in July.

I just wasn't as impressed with Selby as most others, but fair enough you rate him higher.

Flanagan only fell out because he's been a bit less active than most of the others at the bottom of the list. He'll probably be back in again soon.

Froch hasn't retired yet and he is still the clear No. 1.

Khan has a much better overall record than those guys. Someone like Algieri would be a good win for that lot, but Khan is (and should) be held to a higher standard.
