Any comments/criticisms of the British Top 30 P4P list are very welcome.

yeah I've got a comment. James Degale's got more talent in his little finger than Tyson Fury, but I guess it all comes down to physicalities/ rankings at the end of the day. Is a man ranked 10 among 99 bad heavies a better boxer than a man ranked 99 amongst a thousand Super Middles? No.

Perhaps for me id of swapped murray and barker the other way round, and burns wouldnt quite be so high

P4P is based on opposition right? So surely Carl Frampton would be ahead of Brook and Groves?

Scott Quigg is a world champion and is number 15, he needs to be brought up much higher.

Derry Matthews above Haskins for me and also macdonnell above Bellow

Would genuinely like to know your thoughts on that horse

I do like your lists and thanks for doing it every month, always a topic of conversation where i work

good list

dont think Brian Rose should be in it though

I'd say Fury is more proven than DeGale. Heavyweights tend to look less talented than they are.

I don't know.

If Barker beats Sturm next month then he's likely to overtake Murray and Burns.

Frampton has two very good wins, but he has fewer good wins than Groves or Brook have.

When does D.Haye get omitted through inactivity?

Burns at #2 WTF?

He was rubbish in his last fight.

Mathews struggled at domestic level recently with Coyle and Crolla, but Haskins beat Hall and Ward fairly comfortably. That gives Haskins the slight edge for me.

Bellew has fought better opposition than McDonnell recently, so he gets the nod. If Stevenson smashes Bellew easily this month, then he'll probably drop below McDonnell in next month's list.

Involving the workplace in the discussion, nice.

Wasn't Cleverly six when he was regularly fighting cans.

Rose is the clear No. 1 British light middleweight. I think it would be very harsh not to include him. He's struggled recently, but at least he's fighting good opponents.

Probably never.

Correct me if I am wrong but he is not a proper world champion is he? He holds the equivalent of Povetkin's and Froch's WBA world title rather than Klit's and Ward's?

Gordon KOs wrote:Burns at #2 WTF?

He deserves 2nd position more than Haye, that's why he kept his place.

Barker can take the No. 2 spot if he beats Sturm.

brian13 wrote:Wasn't Cleverly six when he was regularly fighting cans.

He earned 5th place when he was fighting good opposition and then he fell because of his poor opponents.
