Tyson fury should not be listed

I would have Andrew Selby lower

Otherwise I think it's good this time

No point taking him out if he could come back at any moment.

The foreigners that he's been fighting recently have had pretty decent BoxRec rankings.

If others at the bottom of the rankings were more active then he'd be struggling to stay on the list, but at the moment he's doing just enough to earn a lower place.

Tyson Fury Top 5 in spite of not fighting in over 2 years. :lol:

Why even make a list?

NOBODY whether I like them or not is ranked in my sh*t if they've been inactive for over a year unless they at the very least have a fight scheduled. You might as well say Carl Froch is P4P #1. He's as active as Fury is.

Nice to see a 400 pound man that can barely walk a flight of stairs that hasn't fought in two years in the top 5.

Tyson Fury has not been inactive for over two years, you absolute moron.

Carl Froch is clearly not as active as Tyson Fury as he's been inactive for 18 months longer, you clod.

Closer to 2 years inactive than 1.

Carl Froch is clearly MORE active (at least in terms of actual movement and exercise) than Tyson Fury because he still looks in decent shape, Tyson Fury is a fat tub of sh*t.

The only thing waiting for Tyson Fury in this sport is his loss. He'll never be anybody again except for in your mind where he apparently has a permanent stay as World Champion and P4P Heavyweight dynamo based on nothing.

I got caught talking rubbish? Says the guys who ranks an obese, inactive, cokehead as the #5 fighter in his country? Boy...those kinda insults might make me have to reconsider the way I think about things...probably not though since I'm right.

No, you were caught being very wrong, but instead of leaving the thread in disgrace, you have decided to stick around making a fool of yourself.

Again...the guy ranking an inactive, obese cokehead as P4P #5 has no room to say anybody is making "a fool" of themselves. Nothing I've ever said on this forum is more foolish than that.

Tell you what I'll do. I'm gonna give it a little thought and I'll come up with a British Top 30 P4P that actually makes sense for the people. No more ragging on Fury, I'll just put up my list, and you sir can feel free to offer any sort of criticism you desire ok?

I'll have it posted up within the hour.

The UK has some real depth!
Some great names on that list.
I recently saw Burnett fight for the first time when he won his belt.
Hard guy to beat when he bounces in and out of range. I look forward to seeing if he can measure up in the top international level.

You blast Fury for inactivity.... Then go to all that trouble doing your list and add Khan??
Been out for ages and no sign of any upcoming fight. He is as busy as Tyson, on Twitter that is.

You know what...you're right. I forgot that the Khan/Alvarez had been 14 months ago by now and there's still no signs of Khan getting back in the ring anytime soon.

He'll be promptly removed.

Nobody would call Khan a busy fighter, but:

He fought more recently than Fury.

He's still licensed.

He's not an obese human car crash.
