Williams was before his loss to Skelton, Britain's number one heavyweight, he also holds two Lonsdale belts outright, has a win over Tyson and has fought for World and European titles.

Anderson has only just become British and Commonwealth Champion and has yet to establish himself as a strong Champion.

If Anderson defends his British and Commonwealth titles a few times or Williams loses again, Anderson will probably overtake Williams.

Great great list!!! Hobson, Power, Froch, and Anderson should go higher for Burns, Pickering, and definitely Moore to go lower in my opinion, other than that VERY good list.

No I don't think so, he was talking about a match with Froch fairly recently.

Thank you.

With Maccarinelli now in the top ten Hobson's lowly position seems somewhat unfair following his close points loss to Maccarinelli, so he perhaps deserves to be higher in my list, but his next opponent seems to be quite poor, so a victory over him does not warrant a big climb up the rankings in my opinion.

After Power's loss to Munyai, I don't think he deserves a higher ranking at this point.

Froch should probably be ranked a few places higher and will probably climb quite a few places after his next victory.

Anderson is ranked about right at the moment I think, if he makes a few defences of his belts he will rise fairly quickly as he already has a few good wins.

mattym wrote:Burns, Pickering, and definitely Moore to go lower in my opinion, other than that VERY good list.
Burns has a win over Earl and put in a good display against Arthur, but he has not won a belt yet so perhaps he is a little high on my list, but he has a big fight with Murray next and a victory will cement his place and maybe a bit more.

Pickering lost his European and Commonwealth titles to Hunter in a close fight not so long ago, so he should not be too far below Hunter really and those below him are not at the European level yet.

Perhaps Moore should go lower as he is only the British Champion, and his current reign as Champion has seen only one defence, but if he gets a win over Macklin this Month then I think his ranking is about right.

Thank you for your comments.

Nice list, I expect to see Maccarinelli in top 6 once Oct 10 passes.

I agree Froch could be abit higher, maybe crack the top 15.

I hope so.

Yes 15th place would probably be more accurate.
