Any comments, criticisms or P4P lists are very welcome.

Mc Closkey is too low because he gave Lynes a big beating and Lynes was in the top 15 before he was beaten in Italy, Enzo is defintely before Cook, Calzaghe shouldn't be in the list because his future is very unclear, Rees should be lower and hasn't fought much recently

Lynes was never in my top 15. Perhaps McCloskey should be higher, but I will have to wait until his next fight to alter his ranking.

brian13 wrote:Enzo is defintely before Cook,

Cook has got a title and Maccarinelli hasn't. Macca hasn't beaten anyone decent in 18 months, so he needs to beat a decent fighter before he climbs above Cook.

brian13 wrote:Calzaghe shouldn't be in the list because his future is very unclear,

His last fight was less than 3 months ago. Calzaghe stays in until he retires or is inactive for a considerable amount of time.

brian13 wrote:Rees should be lower and hasn't fought much recently

He is out of the top 20 now, so he is likely to fall a lot quicker than he was falling before.

I'd have Skelton at 9 or 10. EBU champ and has fought and beat better domestic opposition than Munroe and Napa at least.

Would personally have Amir lower down.

Bonkers to say that Enzo should be higher than Cook ...

I will probably move him to about 9th or 10th next month, if he beats Rogan.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion, but I feel that Khan has beaten enough decent fighters to show that he should be in the top 20 region of the list, above the less experienced or inactive fighters below.

danfoster wrote:Bonkers to say that Enzo should be higher than Cook ...

I also disagree with that opinion.

I see everyone has noticed that you're flogging a dead.....

brook higher for me round 12

Potential is there, but I think there are fighters lower than 12 who have beaten better opponents. Skelton for example.

How so?

You can bugger off!

Actually Horse, you still have Woods so high..why?

rendall munroe seems way to high . He is never overly impressive and imo hasnt beaten any decent opposition

I agree with stujones. Brook has not yet beaten the opposition needed to claim a place that high. If he fights for the European title next, then he might have a shot at getting towards that high in the rankings.

I nearly died while reading this thread.

Best P4P list on the net.

Keep it up Horse

Rendall Munroe seems way to high . He is never overly impressive and imo hasn't beaten any decent opposition and also imo has ducked Dunne. I think justice was done when ben got his crack at Cordoba and whether or not he wins at least he took a chance which is admirable.

hatton is number 1

*he has beaten the better fighters home and away

*calzaghe best win is vs kessler , hattons is vs tyzuz (sp)....no comparison

*calzaghe struggled badly vs an old man in hopkins and has not fought the best in his title reign

*hatton is fighting the best fighter on the planet for the 2nd time , he wanted to be tested thats why he left warren , calzaghe was happy fighting wbo bums for 10 years

hatton can look back at his career and say he fought the best and in thier prime , calzaghe cant.

Captain Hook wrote:Actually Horse, you still have Woods so high..why?

Woods was the IBF world champion for almost 3 1/2 years, and he lost his title less than 12 months ago.

The only two fighters below him who I think it would be acceptable to put above him are Cook and Maccarinelli.

Cook has only just won his WBO title and has not yet established himself as a decent World champion. I thought it was too early to put him above a recognised World class fighter like Woods.

In 2008 Maccarinelli got destroyed by Haye in two and beat the journeyman Ellis in two. That is not impressive, and I didn't feel it was enough to make him go above Woods.

As for the rest, they simply are not operating on the World level and don't deserve to be considered for a place above Woods at this moment in time, in my opinion.

Khan should atleast be above Thaxton. After all, he beat the man who beat the man.

He fought bad opponents and got badly KO'ed in one of his fights

Who's this man who beat the man he beat then?
