1. David Haye

- Heavyweight
London (23-1, 21KOs)
Haye did what he had to do to claim the WBA heavyweight crown from Nikolay Valuev. John Ruiz is next, and provided he wins that one, the Brothers Klitschko will follow.

British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch

2. Carl Froch

- Super-middleweight
Nottingham (26-0, 20KOs)
Froch's debut in the Super Six tournament against Andre Dirrell left both himself and fans frustrated, but a win is a win. However, he will have to be improved if he is to beat Mikkel Kessler.

British, European and Commonwealth light welterweight champion Junior Witter

7. Junior Witter

- Light-welterweight
Bradford (37-3-2, 22KOs)
Witter's hopes of fighting Amir Khan went up in smoke when he lost to Devon Alexander in trying to reclaim the WBC light-welterweight belt. Difficult to see what options he has left.

Kevin Mitchell

8. Kevin Mitchell

- Super-featherweight
Dagenham (28-0, 21KOs)
The British champion's world title hopes have been frustrated by injuries, to both himself and potential opponents, and his clash will Breidis Prescott in December is a potential banana skin.

Munroe defended his European crown against Italy's Simone Maludrottu in November, and could now challenge Japan's WBC champion Toshiaki Nishioka.

They seem to have missed of Ola Afolabi people forget he is british, if he wins next weekend i would put him in the top 5 he probably should be no5 on that list anyway.

Not sure about Ola, he was like Bent a few years ago. He only claimed to be British well into his career. If we do accept that he is a Brit i would say just inside the top 10, not quite as high as 5 tho.

Khan should be down as a lightwelterweight not as a lightweight.

Cleverly will be holding three titles soon,A world shot beckons.

He was born in london and used to go to school there so is as British as Lewis was.

Ricky Burns is fighting Martinez soon as well .If he wins that WBO belt he''ll be in there somewhere .Defintley a top 5 .

Ola hasn't done anything to get himself near top 10. lol

Ola hasn't done anything to get himself near top 10. lol

Ola holds the intamin WBO cruiserweight title so he deservers a place more than someone like John Murray.

Ola hasn't done anything to get himself near top 10. lol

lol, Enzo was top 5 when Ola beat him.

I think he's top 5 material, although can't see him winning his next fight

He was born in london and used to go to school there so is as British as Lewis was.

Lewis always sold himself throughout his entire pro career as a brit, besides Enzo i dont think this guy has even had a fight over here.

Was he even in any British ratings leading upto the Enzo fight?

He has only had one fight in England but he moved to America from England when he was 20 so he is British imo.
