Scott Harrison?

Does the 12 month inactivity rule not apply to him? He hasnt fought for over 2 years

11 onwards is debatable...

I would Swap Khan with Duddy

danny williams in at 30 too

The same as Wayne McCullough,

I like Hunter but after watching his last fight i dont think he'l be doing much at Feather or S.Feather...

There is no 12 month inactivity rule in effect. If a fighter has not retired then I class them as active.

Still no Derry Matthews?

Yeah what about Derry Matthews? Good point!. Why is Scott Harrison at nine?

God man, where is Kevin Mitchell?

Kevin Mitchell has been knocking out bums to get his record.Doesnt deserve a P4P ranking IMO

So what he smashes CJ then you will rate him, the kid is class

I can see why you might want to do that, but Duddy has beaten the better opposition so far (Just about) and is closer to a World title shot than Khan.

observer1 wrote:danny williams in at 30 too

Williams could well re-enter the list at some point, but he has to beat a decent challenger before he can come back. Unfortunately, his last fight was a no contest so I couldn't bring him back, but if his proposed fight with James Toney comes off then he has a great opportunity to re-enter the list into quite a respectable position.

Is Duddy closer to a world title shot. Khan is ranked in the top 15 with ALL of the governing bodies, and ranked 6 by Fightnews and 6 on the Boxrec computer system (I don't agree with those lofty positions). He is also fighting Kristjansen in an eliminator.

There is surely a chance Khan will fight for a world title in the Summer... Duddy won't.

I believe he is moving back down to Super Bantamweight.

He hasn't beaten anyone of note recently. A win in his scheduled fight with stephen Foster should be enough to see him enter.

Dont understand the logic there. How can you compaire recent bouts if he hasn't had any?

With the inclusion of Dunne and Duddy it looks like a British and Irish P4P not just a British one I will put forward a case for Paul McCloskey, Oisin Fagan and Andy Lee

He's already done that though (Handily)

Plus beaten Simpson and beaten the decent Matthew Marsh. Simspon lost to Foster.

Scott Harrison is at No.9 as he was as high as No.4 when I first started doing the rankings, just under two years ago, and I was slow to react to his inactivity.

Kevin Mitchell has not beaten the quality of opposition necessary for inclusion in the list. If he beats Johanneson then of course he will enter the list.

That is generally my feeling as well.

We will see.

Perhaps Khan will fight for a title before Duddy, but I think that Duddy is more likely to fight for one first, as he was scheduled to fight Pavlik before he was cut. I don't think a late summer title fight is completely out of the question either.

Derry Mathews !!!!!!!

Undefeated, ranked in top 10 by two of the big 4 organisations. Beaten one man already on the list and took virtually every round from Foster.

Anti Mathews agenda based on one off night against Simpson is becoming nauseating
