McDonnell has a better record.

Selby is unproven.

Groves and Murray serial world title fight losers, Eubanks Jr beaten by weakest champ in his division, none of them should be ahead of Crolla

To me pound for pound means if all were equal in size then who would be the best- to me Kell Brook despite his appalling standard of opposition would be best if they were all the same size. But he hasn't proved it by fighting anyone decent. Tyson Fury has the most notable scalp on his resume but his performance was poor and his technique is poor, if he was the same weight as most of they fighters he would get destroyed- so for me he can be nowhere near the top.

Billy Joe Saunders should be higher as well.

Eubank Jr's place seems about right to me.

He had a very close fight with Saunders less than 18 months ago and since then he's been building a decent record and looking pretty good doing it.

Crolla lost to Mathews, Crolla lost to Sykes.

Crolla's not fought at world class yet.

He might be the best, but if he fought better opposition I wouldn't be surprised if he lost and we found out that he wasn't really all that good after all.

Fury's performance was not poor at all.

He got one of the best wins in British boxing history.

Any British P4P rankings without Fury at the top are bogus.

He hardly swung a punch and just danced about outside of the distance of someone who couldn't get set to throw. That's not p4p boxing in my book.

He was winning the fight so kept doing what was being successful against a decade long champion who can dig and was being neutralised.

I don't think anyone would say it was fight of the year but it was possibly performance of the year

This list was one of the main reasons Paul doesn't post here anymore. It really wound him up. I miss Smigga.
