1) Billy Hardy

3) Nicky Booth
4) Paul Lloyd
5) Johnny Armour
6) Drew Docherty
7) Ian Napa
8 ) Jamie McDonnell
9) Ray Gilbody
10) Gary Davies
No Damaen Kelly? Robbie Reagan? Noel Wilders?
I would have it something like. Hardy, McKenzie, Kelly, Armour, Reagan, Lloyd, Docherty, Wilders, Booth, Napa.
Kelly did more as a flyweight and would have him in my top 10 there same with Reagan who had only the one fight as a bantam (sure - it was a world title fight which he won, if it had been anything more substansial than the WBO and had beaten a better champion - I might have put him in..) Wilders - you make a good suggestion there - I would put him in at no 8.

Fair enough, when I am doing it (as you can see) I'm not doing the rule that the fighter can only be ranked in one weight. Can see your view on Reegan. I think Kelly beat enough people (including Napa) to warrant a place in both Bantam and flyweight.
I wonder if anyone will have any fighter at #1 in more than one weight. I think Naz and Eubank are most likely. Calzaghe possibly also.

Theres not many off our current boxers who would make the top ten in any divisions....
Robbie regan the welsh lad,i remember him losing to Mickey Cantwell in the Abas..forgot he won a world title...Kelly aswell always forget he was a bantam&totally forgot bout Wilders...i suppose we could add Adey Lewis aswell,even tho he was a fly champ
