Yeh, Bernard Dunne isn't British and while officially, Duddy is... I don't think he'd be happy in that list either.

I said the exact same thing last month and was told that Irish boxers were allowed I then asked would he rename it to british and Irish and he said he wouldnt.
I think you should do one or the other tbh horse.

Absolutely... listen... you're either British or your not. Dunne is not British- he can't be on the list!

Just wondering if you included Barker based on the fact that you couldn't really change the list in August so felt obliged to make one change.

Barker top 15. put Enzo 6th ahead of Arthur and Froch as he's beaten higher level of opposition(excluding Bobby Gunn of course)

Seeing as Duddy does not hold British citizenship(and never has done) and was born outside Britain I think you can resoundingly say he is not British. The only place which officially' reports him as British is this site.
I have to agree with earlier comments, either it's a British and Irish list or just British and should be named accordingly.

You telling me John Murray is NOT among the 30 best fighters in Britain? Suppose he is only an unbeaten British champion who is consistently calling out Khan and who put in a career best shift in his last fight.

were would put Murray, i think has as much right as mcintye & appleby, but Horse does like a bit of scottish bias
personally id ditch mcintyre and put murray in at 30

Duddy is placed quite highly, so maybe he would be happy with it.

I think there is a third way.

Rogan has a lot more to prove before he gets a place in the top 30. So far I don't think he has beaten a top 10 ranked British heavyweight.

Sure if he's gonna put Irish in the top Brit fighters, he might as well put Mexicans and Americans in there too- you might be able to fill a top 50 or top 100 that way ;)

Or if he kept it at top 30 there might not be many brits in it at all.

I took Scott Harrison out this month, so that would have been a change.
Barker entered the list because I think he is a better choice than the alternatives. The fact that he boxed this month, and can enter higher than position No. 30, is just a bonus.

Want to explain this third way ?
