Yeah I'd go for that, I used to take it personally but it's just an interest and a pastime, it's not worth getting wound up over and horse does interact and give his reasons.

I'm not sure Horse actively tries to wind everyone up, he just seems to be one of those people who can only view boxing in terms of stats.

because it actually gets people talking & posting?

Horse gets a lot of stick, but he's a good guy who's willing to throw his opinions out there for all to agree with or laugh at. People hammer him far to much for little things on these, he has his reasons for his rankings rightly or wrongly.... its his list not gospel.

He is good but humourless

Nah p4p are fun but I think what we should do instead is everyone submit their rankings and have a discussion about it rather than just one poster putting up rankings.

Not sure whats happened here

It would appear some Z-list celebrity, attention seeking, money grabbing, sell out, reality TV "star" has found his way to the top of a boxing list.

There must be some mistake

Why isn't David Haye on your list, he used to be good at punching people too!

Why don't we have a poster top 30 list ?

Top 20 instead? From 20-30 would be a pain to do.

Key words USE TO BE

I like these threads. I don't think the top 15 is far out but it gets very hard when you go below that.

I still have a problem with Murray though. I'm a fan and think he was unlucky not to become champ twice.

But he's been dreadful since then. So that has to be considered despite the fact he won, in huge same way that his decent performances should be considered despite not winning.

Somewhere around 8-10 seems fair.

Reason and logic don't sway Horse when it comes to Murray.

My opinion on Murray's ranking is logical and reasonable.
