Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

Solid List but my thoughts would be:

Enzo Mac above Haye? I'd have Kevin Anderson allot higher. I think Froch and Haye are better than Arthur who I don't rate. I'd have Johanneson/Earl above Kelly

Robind Reid should be dropped lower after inactivity and Maggee should be lower too I think. As for McCullough he hasn't fought for 2 years, hasn't he retired and is he British?

ITS VERY HARD to assess even our british fighters when they all go down such different routes

I'm suprised Scott Harrison is still in there, we have no idea if he'll ever make it in to the ring again...

I'd love to see him return but at this point, it won't be anytime soon.

Kelly's retired too!

Scott Dann has retired tooand hasn't fought for ages.

Who makes the list exactly?

Haye will most likely overtake Enzo Mac, if he beats Bonin later this Month. Anderson would have been a fair bit higher, if he hadn't lost the Commonwealth title to Nuumbembe in February. I think Arthur is a good fighter, who has currently proven more than Froch and Haye, but I respect your opinion.

Phenomenal-Nutrition wrote:I'd have Johanneson/Earl above Kelly

I do not believe that Johanneson has proved enough at this time to be that high in the rankings, a few more defences of the Brtish title or winning the European or Commonwealth titles then it will be a different matter. I wouldn't argue with someone putting Earl that high in their rankings, but I will have to wait for him to string some wins together before I can do the same in my list.

Yes, Reid probably should be lower, but he is fighting again now so it doesn't matter as much. Magee is perhaps a little high coming off the Froch loss, but I still think he is a good operator, and will hopefully have some meaningful fights later this year. McCullough hasn't retired and has recently been linked to a World title fight against Molitor, he is a U.S citizen but I believe he used to be British, so that is good enough for me.

I might well have to take him out soon as he has been inactive for 16 Months, and doesn't look likely to be back in the ring anytime soon, like you said.

is the list of boxers in an order

ie is Kennet Egan the best Am Boxer in GB.... and so on

Yes in order. Its GB but i included Ireland in the list as well:TU:

What would your list be, im always interested to see peoples lists.

frankie gavin way higher, i think he is mooted as the p4p number 1 in Am's in GB by pritty much everyone

dont no what what kennet has done/beat or even his weight so cant comment

ste smith is up there rightly so, as is perkins

i think muhara should be lower, he seems to have only had 1 decent tourny

bellew or danny price should defo be within the list

ps obviously im english

I decided to keep Kelly in the rankings for a while, seeing as he had been quite active in 2006, if no announcement of a return happens in the next few Months, I will take him out.

Max Molyneux wrote:Scott Dann has retired tooand hasn't fought for ages.

Scott Dann retired a few days ago, and I need a replacement for my P4P list, Scott Dann will almost certainly be removed next Month.

Max Molyneux wrote:Who makes the list exactly?

I do.

Harrison sadly has four trials to face this year... They include three here in Scotland and one in Spain on various charges such as breach of the peach, threatning behaviour, possesion of drugs, assault.

I think with these impending court dates, Scott may not be in the ring again, if he decides to return of course, for some time.

Is there any legal reason why he cannot fight between those court dates, as unlikely as that would be?

surely the board must have took his licence

Regarding the Amateurs - I also think Gavin on the low side. He certainly seems to be a class act.

Perkins done incredibly well a few years back in the World championship, but then underachieved in the Commonwealths... so I think he is a little lofty.

Incidently, ABA and Sweet Science.... I would keep an eye on Enzo Maccrinelli's nephew - just won the WABA's at Light Heavy... Young, but was impressive and seems to have a great attitude. Think he could go places.

never seen him mate but i will reserve judgement until he has boxed anyone ive heard of cause wales has so few am boxers its relativley 'easy' to win a title

sweetscience wrote:never seen him mate but i will reserve judgement until he has boxed anyone ive heard of cause wales has so few am boxers its relativley 'easy' to win a title

Tell me about it, Wayne O Sullivan regained his Middleweight title pretty comfortably this year - he hasn't fought for nearly 2 years... made his return in January - no tune ups, straight into the WABA's. Thats at Middleweight.

One of the Heavyweights admitted to not having a lot of experience... I think he was a late starter who'd only box sporadically for 3 years. He did lose the final, but it was expected to be close.

Also, it was commented that the applicants for the Super Heavyweight category was at an "all time high"... coincidental that Kevin Evans has retired??? I think not.

the welsh have had a few decent ams thou

darren edwards was a gud un at 54/57kg - what happened to him?

Retired after the Commonwealths.

I'm not 100% with regards to his licence, it may be suspended but not overly sure...

It is certain though he won't be sanctioned for a fight whilst he has four trials awaiting him...

I believe he is suspended after he missed a hearing with the BBBofC, after he pulled out of the Cook fight.

Breach of the peach!?

Is that a code for non-consensual bum sex?
