Calza appy 10-06-2009, 10:44 AM Brook and Cleverly should be higher imo.
Savino 10-06-2009, 10:52 AM when was this list made?

Was up on there website today mate.
Savino 10-06-2009, 11:13 AM Was up on there website today mate.
It is kinda worrying to think that those are the top 10 Boxers we have. Doesn't look good imo.
AndyShitHot 10-06-2009, 01:03 PM Yeah I don't think Junior Witter should be in there and Ricky Hatton should be bottom half. This list should be more concentrated more on the future and Cleverly and Brook should be top ten.
LOCKE 10-06-2009, 01:08 PM Hatton has achieved more than Khan ever will, how the **** is he above him?? And how is Khan above Haye??? Haye was undisputed Cruiserweight champion!!!! When are people gonna realise Khan has yet to fight anyone his own size!!!!??????
Savino 10-06-2009, 01:19 PM Hatton has achieved more than Khan ever will, how the **** is he above him?? And how is Khan above Haye??? Haye was undisputed Cruiserweight champion!!!! When are people gonna realise Khan has yet to fight anyone his own size!!!!??????
What do you mean when you say khan has yet to fight someone his own size?
Clegg 10-06-2009, 01:46 PM I think Anthony Small should be in there, and Brook+Cleverly deserve a top 10 place. I'd put all 3 above Kevin Mitchell and probably Nicky Cook as well. Munroe I don't know too well.
JmtRyan 10-06-2009, 01:47 PM What a depressing list that is.
sick- 10-06-2009, 02:03 PM Hatton has achieved more than Khan ever will, how the **** is he above him?? And how is Khan above Haye??? Haye was undisputed Cruiserweight champion!!!! When are people gonna realise Khan has yet to fight anyone his own size!!!!??????
Khan is a better fighter than Haye
Bigchill79 10-06-2009, 02:20 PM Cant really argue the list tbh. Hope Froch can cross over to the mainstream more, get his profile as high as Khan's or Hayes

Damn. Are things really that bad?
Leakbeak 10-07-2009, 02:55 AM I think they got the top 4 the wrong way round! Ring Magazine is woned by GBP and no longer has journalistic credibilty. They need to sell it off to some jewish journalism graduates
The_Demon 10-07-2009, 08:31 AM brook and cleverly should be higher
witter shouldnt be in there
most of the guys on the list are not that good too be honest
PrettyBoy22 10-07-2009, 09:11 AM Carl Froch our number 1 fighter, good lord.
I think Khan will easily be our number 1 in the next 18 months and will hold that title for many years.
PrettyBoy22 10-07-2009, 09:12 AM Hatton has achieved more than Khan ever will, how the **** is he above him?? And how is Khan above Haye??? Haye was undisputed Cruiserweight champion!!!! When are people gonna realise Khan has yet to fight anyone his own size!!!!??????
It's about the here and now not the past
Dem Eyes 10-07-2009, 09:15 AM It's a phase people.
If they do this list again in 5 years, I'm sure everyone will be happy.
:lol1:
Calza appy 10-07-2009, 01:36 PM I think Khan will easily be our number 1 in the next 18 months and will hold that title for many years.

Sorry but Haye's an undisputed champion at cruiser, should be higher than Khan who got blasted out in a round 2 fights ago. Froch got kicked all over the ring by Taylor for 12 rounds before, admittedly, coming up with the goods whereas Ricky Hatton's lost two the number one and number two p4p fighters in the world, should be higher. Matthew Macklin's beaten better opposition than Kevin Mitchell including that one round blow out of the Finn as well as 3 round destruction of world rated Wayne El**** so should be above him. Pretty poor list if you ask me.
All the right people though, I guess, just not necessarily in the right order.
Czarek 10-07-2009, 05:17 PM in my opinion it is a nice list, but why haye so good?
Mugwump 10-07-2009, 06:59 PM I don't think it's THAT bad. Froch, Khan, Haye & even Kell Brook all have a lot of potential. Admittedly, some are closer to it than others.
And we also have perhaps the best crop of juniors we've ever had coming through.
Hardly wrist-slashing stuff.
