If Anthony Crolla lost to Gary Sykes for a 3rd time would he fall below Kell Brook?

Yes.

What was the point of your question?

how did you rank framptons win over donaire? like, did you see it as an impressive high level win that moved him up, or did he move up more out of staying active and accumulation and on not much being in groves/bjs previously being higher?

i ask because although donaire has a name i really dont rate him that high at all these days (dogboe would smash him walters style btw), but overall i can certainly see the case frampton has for that ranking

Can't argue too much. Seems a fair list :TU:

Fury should've been left out but that was never gonna happen.

Perhaps Crolla's 6 losses and 3 draws suggest he's not as good as Brook.

God question! His best wins have been at domestic level/slightly above domestic level(ish).

Spada
Rosado
Bursak?

To be fair to him he arguable beat Martinez in Argentina and also ran AA and Sturm very close.

Brook does have a deeper record than Crolla in fairness.

Donaire is obviously not what he was, but it is still a decent world/fringe world level win.

Frampton was not too far behind the other two before the fight and the win was enough to put him ahead of them considering the rest of his record.

Groves and Saunders might overtake him again with their next wins. There's not much in it at the moment.

You don't think taking him out a month before he was scheduled to fight, after leaving him in for all this time, might be a bit silly?

All it takes to be a Top 10 British P4P'er is to get fat, and not fight for over 2 years.

I'm surprised a lot of the fellas that frequent the local pubs ain't ranked.

Leaving him all this time is the silly part.

Crolla's win over Burns is better than any win that Brook has had since beating Porter almost 4 years ago.

Brook has a better record than Crolla, but it isn't leagues above and he really hasn't done much lately.

This is true. Can't argue with that. Brook lost to GGG and Spence and Crolla lost twice to Linares.

Since.. Crolla beat Burns which is better than Brook beating Rabchenko.

Yes, if you start off as the British P4P No. 1 and your last fight was a win over a world top 10 P4Per and the lineal & unified champion of the division.

Most blokes down the pub aren't in that position.

My point was that he shouldn't be in there after all this time.

Where do you see Josh Taylor going if he secures a win against Postol, Mr H?
Postol is Boxrec #3.

Which should be obvious to anyone that actually cares about and respects the sport. Horse just has a hard on for Fury, and allows that to overshadow everything else.
