Murray is ridiculously high as usual. How many one-paced, uninspiring fights does he need to have before he moves down?

Wait till he does his world list, that one really is a hoot.

Others need to do more to move above him.

Apart from Frampton there are not many fighters with a good argument for being above Murray.

I look forward to Frampton leapfrogging Murray in the September rankings after another convincing win over Martinez :TU:

In fact, presumably Murray would go down to 5th place if Frampton & Brook both win later this month?

Not a bad World P4P.

I would not even have Murray in the top 10 in the UK. His next opponent is ranked 77th in the world on Boxrec. He seems to have completely dropped off the world scene. I would like to see GGG smash him to pieces, if Murray has the balls to take him on.

Then your top 10 would be way off.

So, World champions are not highly ranked in this and World rated fighters take their spots, no logic in that and makes that top 15 terrible.

Weak "world champions" like McDonnell and Quigg are ranked below strong world title contenders like Groves and Frampton.

What's illogical about that? Trinkets are just trinkets.
