From heaviest to lightest.

James DeGale - IBF Super Middleweight Champ
Chris Eubank Jr - WBA Middleweight Champ (interim)
Liam Smith - WBO Light Middleweight Champ
Kell Brook - IBF Welterweight Champ
Terry Flanaghan - WBO Lightweight Champ
Anthony Crolla - WBA Lightweight Champ
Lee Selby - IBF Featherweight Champ
Carl Frampton - IBF Super Bantamweight Champ
Scott Quigg - WBA Super Bantamweight Champ (Super)
Lee Haskins - IBF Bantamweight Champ

Out of them all, I'd have to say it's either Kell Brook or Carl Frampton.

Kell or Selby for me, I voted Kell though
I think Quigg beats Frampton personally so cant have Frampton as high

I don't know who Smith, Flanaghan, Selby and Haskins are, and I've never watched Brook fight, so I can't rank them fairly against the others.

The others I rank:

1 Degale
2 Quigg
3 Frampton
4 Eubanks
5 Crolla

I must admit I've not seen Smith or Flanaghan fight and the last time I saw Lee Haskins fight he got battered by a bloke called Tshifhiwa Munyai who gave Martin Power a good doing over around the same time too.

How can Chris Eubank Jr be there but not Jamie McDonnell?

Haskins also previously beat Jamie McDonnell...

Fuckin' hell I've just looked at Haskins record and that last time I saw him fight against Munyai was in October 2006, doesn't feel that long.

I don't have Sky. I follow the heavyweight scene, and local fighters in venue (Quigg and Crolla). Eubanks, degale and Frampton I've seen on freeview. Sorry.

P4p out of all these id pick frampton

Most of Lee Haskins fights, including his last fight to win the IBF interim title, have been on Channel 5...?

Didn't know that. I probably scan read the weight division first and foremost when I'm channel surfing. The lowe divisions just don't float my boat unless I know a fighter personally. Different strokes....

Eubank shouldn't be their as he is interim.
I'm not sure if Quigg is 'super' yet or if that title is only up for grabs for the winner of February's unification.
I like Haskins but find it hard to see him as a champion with him never winning a world title bout.

Out of the others I would say:

1. Degale- number one in his division for me.
2. Brook- could be number one at welter but opposition to poor to tell.
3. Frampton- on his day could beat anyone at his weight, bar Rigondeaux.
4. Selby- only Walters and Lomachenko beat him IMO.
5= Flanagan- good win last time out, developing into a very good fighter.
5= Crolla- as above.
6. Smith- good solid fighter but no notable wins on his record yet.

As mentioned before I go De Gale as he's number 1 in his division.

Great list and exciting times for British boxing. If DeGale beats Bute then you have to have him up there but if Frampton beats Quigg or vice versa then you could make an arguement for either. Brook is a big win away from being top dog also. Thurman or Bradley would be good to see.

Why have you put chris eubank? He isnt a world champion

Sorry but to include Eubank and not McDonnell is a little ridiculous.

I would actually say McDonnell - i might not have him as P4P number 1, that is more like Kell or even Khan.... but as a champion, I would say he is closest to #1 in the division out of all of them.

I think a case could be made for Abraham and Jack also.

Jack beat Groves who beat DeGale.

Abraham has been the longest running current champion.

DeGale has one win in world class - true world class, the other two have a few more than that.

DeGale is perhaps the most accomplished if he beats Bute.

Brook, Selby, Frampton they all have one good wins on there records but none of them are properly tested.

Flanaghan, Crolla, McDonnell, Smith are the second tier.

Quigg, Haskins, are not the real champions.

Eubank is not a champion at all.

That was an age ago at British title level. I would take DeGale against Groves hands down now. I also think he beats both AA and Jack. His win against Dirrell was more impressive than anything AA or Jack has done IMO.

Eubank and quigg are not proper champions there interim so I don't include them, I don't regard the wbo as a proper title so that rules out Flanagan and smith, so that leaves the ibf champions, degale, frampton, selby, brook, Haskins and not sure about Crolla wba title is a real one or interim or super.

I was 100% sure it was De Gale pre Saturday. Abraham impressed me again as he has all 2015.

I'd love to see De Gale-Abraham but it looks very slim chance of happening.

Haskins most certainly IS the real IBF champ. Ok, he didn't win the belt but he won the interim title and when the official champ is unprofessional enough to miss even the weight class above, he's rightly elevated.

If Tyson Fury wins on Saturday he goes straight in at number 1 for me.
