That's a good list overall.
My prediction for the best British boxer of the 22nd Century will be Callum Smith.

Fury should be higher than Haye.
He succeeded in defeating Klitschko and becoming the real HW champ, while Haye failed.
Also, replace Nelson and Witter with DeGale and Brook.

In terms of Haye, do you think he only fought at heavyweight? He was unified champ at cruiserweight and went on to win a heavyweight title, off the biggest heavyweight ever and defend, all while being grossly undersized.
Fury just outsized Wlad, nothing too spectacular, a very good win but not enough to elevate him over someone like Haye who had an extensive career across two divisions. Fury is my FOTY for 2015 but if he had stopped Wlad or actually beat him like he said he would, then yes, there's an argument of him instantly being higher, as he would have proven he was head and shoulders above Wlad.

He has a chance of course, fights with Khan, Bradley, Thurman, and who knows.
