There is logic behind this list, just because you disagree with me it does not make it illogical. I don't think that Jennings is beating good opposition, Takaloo and Minter are not that good.
You don't think that a fighter can lose and still be in the top 10 or 20? Some of the problems you have with my list are idiotic.
Captain Hook wrote:And you're keeping Witter and Woods in the top 6 to see what they do in their next fights?
Who should go above them? They are proven World class, which is more than can be said for those below them. Arthur, Froch and Maccarinelli need to step it up if they want to get into those higher spots.

Would your ego get a boost? A lot of people would not like your rankings and would tell you so.
Captain Hook wrote:And why won't Harrison be in if he has still not retired? Have you got a time limit on taking him out?
Harrison will be taken out soon as he has been inactive for over two and a half years and he is banned for over 6 months. There is no time limit, but after Harrison leaves I will likely set some sort of inactivity limit.

I like this list, of course it's naive to think we will all agree with it, but at least he comes on here and answers peoples complaints. He sounds like a nice lad - he never gets aggressive or insulting. He is diplomatic and I agree with his list most times, apart from Harrison, but he's already said that he will likely to be moved out next month.
Keep up the good work Horse, mate

There you go Horse that's one fan for you! The fact you even have Scott Harrison on there is nuts. Are you his local licensee or drinking partner? I can't think of an explanation, and you certainly haven't had a decent one.
Witter gets beaten easily and does not move? Woods does the same? You don't think Takaloo or Minter are "that good" so you have Jennings at 30?
I'm not Ryan Rhodes' biggest fan but you're telling me he is not one of the 30 best fighters in Britain at the moment?
Enjoy your apple, Mr Teacher :)

I hope you didn't take that personally - I was trying to have a laugh. I was just trying to back Horse up, no harm in that.

Then stick to boxing, that's why we're here and that's why I think some of the placings on this list are ridiculous....
No harm in that.....

But I don't take it so seriously that I think it's a real place and close the door behind me and tell people I'm leaving!

I am not Harrison's local licensee or his drinking partner.

Witter and Woods lost to good fighters. How far would you have moved them down? Jennings is inactive and fighting average opposition, I don't see why he should have a high ranking.
Captain Hook wrote:I'm not Ryan Rhodes' biggest fan but you're telling me he is not one of the 30 best fighters in Britain at the moment?
For what? Beating Woolcombe? Woolcombe was not considered to be a top 30 P4P fighter by anyone, so why should Rhodes be in the list just because he beat him?

He's fought twice this year, it's more active than most...
And been unlucky with an injury or two.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said he is inactive, but 5 fights over 2 years is not very impressive. Plus, most of his fights are stay busy fights and are easily forgetable.

I'm sorry Horse but that's unfair. Did you see the Minter fight? That wasn't forgetable.
He was very impressive v Takaloo as well.....

The Minter fight was entertaining, but Jennings should be fighting better boxers than Minter at this stage of his career, and his other fights were not very good.

Around and around we go ......
I posted earlier the records (recent) of Barnes and Rhodes.
If you did not know their identities you would have great difficulties knowing which was which.
Let me get this right - a Barnes victory against Bami warrants him rocketing into the charts at number 24.
A Rhodes victory against Woolcombe is dismissed as meaningless.
I don't get it.
You then move Pryce up for beating Portman - the man Woolcombe beat to win the title, and a fighter who refused to face Rhodes.
I really dont get it.
