Nahhh, it's just my opinion Bailey son.

Do a few weightclasses yourself. Don't worry about resumes, just who you think are the best.

Real good effort.

Dunno how Sexton is No.5 h2h, Chisora already beat him, Shot Williams and Sprott would beat him aswell at the moment IMO

Would still give the edge to Deano over McIntosh and probably still Cleverly at this point.

McEwan at No.1 right now? Not so sure..A few more wins against decent opp and i'd probably agree.

Super Choi would be too much for Appelby at this point :smoke and no Lindsay in your top 5 featherweights?

I might have a go later

I'm not convinced about Choi over Appleby. Appleby is much physically stronger than Derry Matthews, I doubt he'd get bullied over, and I see him as having a clear decisive edge in boxing ability.

Lindsay escaped my brain, in truth. I might adjust that, as much as I want to take a punt on Smith :smoke

On another note when did Choi become British :lol:

Have we officially adopted him as our own?? :happy

See above.
I was trying to think of the name of a good cruiserweight beyond those 4. If there are candidates to think about, by all means name them. This is purely off my head.

I don't like what Francis is doing. It's only a matter of time before his power does not get him out of trouble. He's too easy to outbox, and I think they could do it.

Johanneson is logical, but I like Kooner so I'm taking a punt :yep

:good

Yes, he's based in Britain like Olusegun :p

Johanneson is from Leeds - part of my reason for picking him :lol:

1: Half a pound of streaky bacon
2: Two bottles of Evian water
3: A punnet of strawberries
4: Three packets of condoms, a bottle of baby lotion, some fishing wire and balloons with smiley faces on them.
4b: Better also get a quart of Wild Turkey, two ounces of skunk, a vial of mescal and a small quantity of Viagra.
5: Richard 'The Secret' Williams.

LWW instead of Ajose probably isn't good enough to be placed in the top 5 (and possibly isn't that British, has he applied for citizenship?) , just above Barnes and maybe put the guy who beat Lynes above Witter.

Lynes is a bottler and has half of Gary Lockett's heart.

Example A: Against Branco he knocks him down, clowns him for a few rounds, and then manages to let the old Italian back into the fight to the point it is competitive in the eyes of Italian judges.

Example B: He fights Paul McCloskey who is at short notice, wins a couple of rounds, and then proceeds to lose control of the fight, before quitting for no great reason.

I doubt he'd fair too well with Ajose's speed, southpaw stance, and aggression. He's gets flustered, hot and bothered in there.

McCloskey over Witter may be a fair shout.

I agree with most of the list save middle and welter - barker deserves to be above mcewen and jennings deserves to be above brook at this stage.

Other than that its pretty close. Its hard to be accurate with stuff like this anyway and it always comes down to interpretation.

For instance I reckon Alex Arthur is probably the number 1 lightweight now that he has moved up but he still has to prove it so I cant argue with your rating of him.

Frank could put arthur against murray or thaxton if he wins then khan 4 british/european title would save putting amir against murray or jono.

Tyson fury has had2 pro fights has he not? Not sure there is any justification for him being in the top 5 heavyweights?

Put him in for Young Muttley then.
