Me. It shows the depth of talent in British boxing more so than a top 10 list can.

have you got a girlfriend?

Neigh.

There remains the posibility that he IS Wayne McCullough.....

I am not or have ever been Wayne McCullough, or dated him.

How much better would it be if he was outside the top 10?

Captain Hook wrote:And why has Michael Jennings been moved out of it!! For what? Beating Takaloo and then having Minter drop out?

He should be top 20 at least...

He has been inactive recently, and although he has been unlucky with fighters pulling out, if he is not fighting I can't move him up.

Just fcuk him off out of it altogether, I've got nothing against Scot, but he hasn't fought in over 18 months. You should have a 12 months activity policy in your rankings

lol @ jennings going for inactivity and Harrison getting a pass

1. Ricky Hatton..........................30 + 10 = 40
2. Joe Calzaghe.........................29 + 9 = 38
3. Clinton Woods.......................28 + 8 = 36
4. Junior Witter..........................27 + 7 = 34
5. Alex Arthur............................26 + 6 = 32
6. Enzo Maccarinelli...................25 + 4 = 29
7. David Haye...........................23 + 5 = 28
8. Gavin Rees...........................22 + 3 = 25
9. Scott Harrison.......................24 + 0 = 24
10. Howard Eastman.................21 + 0 = 21

11. Carl Froch...........................20 + 1 = 21
12. Jamie Moore........................19 + 2 = 21
13. Nicky Cook
14. Bernard Dunne
15. Damaen Kelly

Here is a composite of mine and Chambers2's lists.

In some cases it seems impossible to get fights.... like for example I brought up about Mark Krence - nobody would confirm he has retired.

Wayne McCullough - clearly wants to fight on, now has a licence and has been a bit unlucky with opponents.

Having said that, Scott Harrison's scenerio is entirely different - he's been inactive for 2 years... there is no sign of that stopping soon and there must be a huge doubt if he is ever coming back.

So while I agree with you (Chambers) on Harrison, not sure I entirely agree on a strict 12 month policy.

I overlooked Pryce for a long time, so he probably should be higher. Duddy is perhaps higher than he should be based on achievement, but he has beaten some decent fighters and is highly ranked. I thought since I was entering him into the list, I would give him the benefit of the doubt, and place him just inside the top 20.

I moved Lynes into the list for the Morrison victory and up 10 places for the Mutley win, I thought that was fair.

Yes, 12 Months would be too strict in my opinion, 18 Months might be okay though.

As for Harrison, he hasn't retired so I don't want to take him off, that may seem stupid but it is fair.

The problem I have with Harrison's inclusion is that he has had his licence suspended and there is the possibility, probably a strong one, that he will never get it back. Indeed, he might be heading for a handy stint behind bars - and even when he comes back will need to go through a battery of tests, physical and psychological, to get his licence back.

I'd be tempted to drop Harrison all together but leave an asterix by the person who has replaced him - saying that should Harrison get his licence back he returns to this position.

I think the asterix idea sounds a bit untidy, and I would still have to mention Scott Harrison every Month anyway.

Is there anyone who thinks Scott Harrison should be ranked?

Given that Woods is stagnating a bit and going over old ground and witters performance tonight is that going to have a baring on your rankings.

probably take Harrison out cos I can't imagen any promoter talking to him again.

Yes, it will have a baring, nothing decided yet though.

Surely someone will give him an opportunity?
