Gavin Rees has retired.

I know.

He might still change his mind if he gets offered an IBF world title eliminator against Mitchell or something similar though.

Jamie McDonnell 2 times World Champion (regardless of who he had to beat) and he Drops a place

He isn't a 2 time world champion, Anselmo Moreno is the WBA champion, it's like saying Scott Quigg is a world champion, Sky and Eddie can talk all they want, they aren't world champions.

Whereas Cleverly blew out a tomato can & moves up 2 places. Weird.

McDonnell climbed a place.

Mc Donnell and Quigg too low. Quigg has defended his title many times and deserves higher even more so, that Frampton is at number four. Martin Murray is too high at three.

Paul Smith?

Callum Smith?

Not a criticism, just a general wonderingment on where you see these guys?

1 Froch
2 Khan

Pretty close to what I'd have . Only one I'd change is Chisora I'd place him 5-10 places lower at the moment

McDonnell and Quigg are paper champions. Frampton has beaten much better opposition than either of them.

If Murray loses against Bursak this month then he will fall.

I'd probably have them both ranked between 40-50 if I went that far down.

If either beat Fielding or Magee they'd most likely enter the rankings.

Quigg and McDonnell don't belong in the top 10 in my opinion.

Johnson was a top 20/30 heavyweight when Chisora beat him widely and Scott was ranked about the same as well.

I'd say Chisora's recent wins are better than McDonnell's, Quigg's and Selby's. If you disagree then fair enough.

I don't understand why murray is so high. He looked great against martinez but lost and has looked rotten since then.

He should be below all the other guys fighting world top 20s and winning.

Enjoy these threads though.

Murray is far too high. Martinez aside, he's hardly fought many with a pulse.

I can't see how Murray is so high, I also think Chisora should be above Brook until he beats someone decent, nit-picking aside though it's as good a list as any out there.
p4p lists are speculative by nature so there is always room for debate

enzo should be out - there are plenty of guys P4P better than him

Murray is far too high again. Otherwise not too much to argue about.

Arguably deserving the decision against the division's No. 1 is better than beating some lower top 20 ranked guy.
