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

If Tyson Fury was 1 last month he should still be this month.
DeGale drew and got beat up.
Frampton lost by a couple of rounds.

To jump Tyson they would have to beat the top man in their respective divisions comfortably. IMO...

To be fair, Fury should be removed for inactivity.
As Horse has a policy of not doing so, I wouldn't complain about him dropping a spot or 2, although it is an odd time to choose to do so when the 2 that overtook him failed to win..

The argument could be made that 2 of our best fighters had solid performances against top level operators.

Either way, I wont complain at Fury dropping. My question would be why was he still number 1 last month.....


All in it's not a bad list. Khan still looks a bit high

Fury has been inactive, so he is easier to overtake than normal.

Agreed. But why was he top in the first place? I'm guessing it was because he beat the number 1 guy at his weight.
DeGale and Frampton haven't matched or bettered that.
They should still be behind him imo...

[Switch hitter]

Khan way too high.....

[handsofstone]

Martin Murray too low and Andy Lee was born in London

[freddydoesdallas]

No hughie fury or kid galahad. Clear bias against accidental drug cheats

[EdwinValero]

Would personally swap Burns and Quigg round and Khan is too high.

But its all a game of opinions i suppose

Who should have been No. 1?

If Selby had beaten Barros last month then Khan would have dropped a place.

Unfortunately boxing is the worst sport in the world and that fight didn't happen.

[Horse]

Agreed. But why was he top in the first place? I'm guessing it was because he beat the number 1 guy at his weight.
DeGale and Frampton haven't matched or bettered that.

When Fury comes back then he can reclaim the top spot.

He deserves to start dropping now though.

I would remove him due to inactivity then rather than drop him down the rankings for the same reason.
However, it is your list Horse. I have total faith you will act fairly and responsibly...

.

Well given Degale and Frampton just leapfrogged him despite not winning then either of them could have been no1 last month, or the month before that. Fury has been inactive for a while.

Despite their recent results, Frampton, Degale and Brook are the 3 beat active fighters in Britain just now, which is why you're list is starting to look that bit better

[Horse]

Khan way too high.....

Those below him should fight more often and against better opposition.

[Horse]

Martin Murray too low and Andy Lee was born in London

I like Martin Murray as much as the next guy, but he's got to get another good result before he can start to climb the rankings again.

I should take the "(Irish)" label away from Andy Lee then?

[Horse]

No hughie fury or kid galahad. Clear bias against accidental drug cheats

Neither currently deserves a place.

Because of drugs or in ring performance. It's not up to you to judge morality Horse

[Ian1973]

If Fury is still eligible for the list then he should still be number one. How can he be overtaken by someone that has just lost and another that gained a draw and got smashed up?

Doesn't make sense Horse either leave Tyson in or take him out but I don't see how he can fall two places on the back of no-one winning to leapfrog him.

Not really had a worthwhile win for years

[Horse]

Would personally swap Burns and Quigg round and Khan is too high.

But its all a game of opinions i suppose

Burns almost lost his last fight, so I think that he's about as high as he can be at the moment.

Khan should be dropping soon.

Thank you.

Well given Degale and Frampton just leapfrogged him despite not winning then either of them could have been no1 last month, or the month before that. Fury has been inactive for a while.

I only move fighters after they've fought.

DeGale had last fought in April and Frampton had last fought in July.

Fury hadn't been that inactive at that time and neither deserved the top spot back then.

Despite their recent results, Frampton, Degale and Brook are the 3 beat active fighters in Britain just now, which is why you're list is starting to look that bit better

Brook is nowhere near the other two.

Their records are not good enough.
