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

Nice to see that Tyson Fury still clings on to a top 10 spot despite being inactive for nearly 2 1/2 years

And STILL not having a fight scheduled.

How is fury still there?

What place is Lewis?

He tweets a lot. I guess that keeps you ranked these days.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Crolla entering top 10..

Brook beat nobody and climbs big..

I take it if Khan beats Lo Greco, he should enter the top 10 too..

[Andrew]

Martin J ward should be in there.

[Horse]

How is fury still there?

He was No. 1 and hasn't retired.

It takes a few years for the No. 1 to drop out of the rankings in that situation.

What place is Lewis?

Lewis isn't ranked.

[Horse]

Crolla entering top 10..

Brook beat nobody and climbs big..

Normally they wouldn't have climbed so high based on those two wins, but there is a lot of inactivity and fighters with recent losses in the lower top 15 area, so they both jumped higher than usual.

I take it if Khan beats Lo Greco, he should enter the top 10 too..

Unlikely.

Lewis isn't ranked.

How long if 2.5yrs isn't long enough.

Pretty sure Floyd Mayweather isn't ranked anywhere, nor Carl froch either.

So how long does inactivity take to drop out the top 20?

OMFG! AJ top

[Boxerbeetle]

Fury clinging onto his place in the top 10

[Horse]

Martin J ward should be in there.

He could be in there, but leaving him out of the top 30 is reasonable. I think Butler and others at the bottom of the rankings deserve a place more than Ward.

He'll most likely enter if he wins his next fight.

[Horse]

So how long does inactivity take to drop out the top 20?

3 years?

[keirw]

So Quigg loses a competetive fight against a good champion away from home and drops 4 places.

Fury fights nobody, nowhere and only drops 2 places.

Surely fighting and losing is better than not fighting at all.....?

Other than that I pretty much agree with the list

Like others at the bottom the likes of Sam Eggington who lost his last fight and got beat by Bradley Skeete, Skeete ain’t lost since fighting Eggington, if that’s the case where is Skeete on your list? Ward is The British Commonwealth and European Champion But Eggington deserves a place more

[Manchester Massive]

Fury should be out of the top 30, cant see why Eubank Jnr is ahead of Callum Smith and Terry Flanagan. Callum Johnson should be in the top 30.

Quigg came in heavy which is cheating.

If he had come in at the weight he probably wouldn't have dropped so much.

Valdez is also fairly unproven, so going the distance against him is not some great honour.

Ward's record is poor for a European, Commonwealth and Lonsdale belt winner.

Eggington has also won the British, Commonwealth and European titles and Eggington has a significantly better record than Ward.

Skeete's win against Eggington was over two years ago and he has been fighting relatively poor opposition since then.

Getting a win over someone doesn't mean that you get to be ranked above them for the rest of your career.

[Horse]

Fury should be out of the top 30, cant see why Eubank Jnr is ahead of Callum Smith and Terry Flanagan. Callum Johnson should be in the top 30.

Johnson only has one domestic level win. He doesn't deserve a place at the moment.

Terry Flanagan has been inactive for over a year. Callum Smith hasn't really stepped up to world level yet, so I don't think that he deserves to be any higher at the moment.

Not saying it is, but a fighter who fights is more worthy of their ranking than one who doesn't, I'm sure most would agree.

Thanks for clearing that up.....
Your list is great
Eggington is now fighting at a much higher level, got Ryan Toms next
I wouldn’t mind having a poor record being a British Commonwealth and European champion....
