Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

I think Haye should still be above Froch for the moment. It was a great Froch win, but Haye has unified Cruiserweight, beaten his domestic rival, stopped Barrett and planted himself into an even bigger fight than the Taylor one. If he gets KOed, then yes Froch should move over him by default but I don't think the Taylor win was enough to overtake him.

I'd also have Rogan above Mitchell.

[bigped]

enzo macc way to high, lost two of his last 3, shown he is going nowhere id have mcloskey and lindsey above him, whats enzo really ever done??

[metropol]

Why did napa go up?

[Coco]

The fella who beat Macc is British, where is he?

Said this last month, apparently Horse isn't convinced. Also apparently, even if he proves his Britishness - I don't know by having his next fight at the Albert Hall on the last night of the proms, eating fish and chips after the weigh in and coming in to an enterance theme of Jerusalem.... if he loses a split decision to say Vitali Klitchsko - he still won't be considered because he lost.

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

Dont know if you are aware of this, but Joe Calzaghe has retired...

[twenty six]

I'm sure Matty Hall will be delighted to see he's dropped a place

[TheGoods]

Calzaghe at one eh? Then why no Jimmy Wilde? And Ken Buchanan is a shocking omission.

If he gets KOed, then yes Froch should move over him by default but I don't think the Taylor win was enough to overtake him.

I took into account that David Haye has only beaten Monte Barrett over the last 12 months. If Haye had beaten Mormeck and Maccarinelli more recently than that then I would most likely have kept Haye above Froch. Obviously, if David Haye beats Wladimir Klitschko in June then he goes above Carl Froch.

I'd also have Rogan above Mitchell.

Both fight this month and, with Mitchell's opponent not having been announced, there is a good chance that Rogan will overtake Mitchell if he beats Sexton.

[SOUTHPAW]

John Duddy should not be in the top 30

[Horse]

Enzo's best wins are probably: Braithwaite, Hobson x2, Dominguez and Scott. Not great, but decent.

If McCloskey wins the European title in his next fight then he has a good chance of overtaking Maccarinelli. If Lindsay defends his title against a strong British challenger like Simpson or Mathews then he might overtake Maccarinelli as well, assuming that Maccarinelli doesn't do anything of worth in the meantime.

[Khaosai-Galaxy]

Ola Afolabi?


where?

[twenty six]

You want Lindsay to beat Derry Matthews to move up - having already ko'd him ?
WTF ?

[alexpaterson]

I dont think Appelby should be out of the top 30 he was 24th and had a bad night i would have him about 28th or 29th

[gunners9191]

i dont know why nathan cleverly aint in the top 30,

[Coco]

i dont know why nathan cleverly aint in the top 30,

He has only fought unknown Africans

[Horse]

Why did napa go up?

Because Duddy lost and fell below Napa.

[Horse]

The fella who beat Macc is British, where is he?

I don't consider him to be British. That may change in the future, if he fights on more domestic bills.

[Horse]

Dont know if you are aware of this, but Joe Calzaghe has retired...

I am aware of that.

[Coco]

I don't consider him to be British. That may change in the future, if he fights on more domestic bills.

So why is Duddy on there?

Dont know either Coco he is so over rated and just lost to a journyman

[Horse]

Why would Matthew Hall be delighted? I would have thought it was a bad thing to drop a place.

Hall dropped a place as I decided to introduce Booth to the list, after his impressive win against Moran.
