He defended his British title. Maybe I was too generous.

His close loss to Saunders is getting towards two years ago now, so I should give him less credit for that in the future.
Depends what he does afterwards?
He's improved since the Saunders fight (before which he had fought nobody with a pulse), no? And Saunders, even though I find him personally dislikeable, has gone on to do impressive things and I think you have him too low.

Groves has beaten the no.2 on the list and he beat Murray last Saturday who was somehow in the top 10. :lol:

And yet there are numerous world title holders and former champions.. Below him.
So?

Groves has a good record. That's why he's in the top 10.

Murray aside who is Groves best wins? He's performed better in defeat than he has in victory. DeGale is a good win but a result that he arguably lost.

I thought Saunders had improved in his fight with Andy Lee. He's looked better but has been fighting at a lower level again.

Saunders is a master boxer. He will look good against inferior opposition. Eubank as a novice made him look silly for some rounds. If they fought again I'd place big money on Eubank!

Saunders' stamina still looks weak and I don't think Lee is that great.

I think both Groves and Bellew have better records than Saunders.

To be fair that's a pretty good record good names and Groves is still young, I think if Groves does get that world belt, he will get over a lot of those demons from the Frock KO and become a good world title holder for a couple of years at least.

Degale is the highest-ranked super-middle in the world - of course it was a good win.

Very very poor list. Is it based on talent, potential or results?

Joshua below Murray? :shame: Please Sir, tell me it aint so.

Murray has never beaten a decent fighter in his career. Dillian Whyte is better than any victory Murray has ever had. Am I right or wrong? if wrong, who has Murray beaten that`s a better win than Whyte?

No prizes in this sport for gallant losers.
