    The BBC are awful indeed.

    They once said Joe Calazghe was the greatest ever British boxer, with Lewis in 5th behind Naz

    Kell Brook higher than Ricky Burns? Not even worth joking about...

    Kell Brook should never be that high, who has he beaten?

    He should be behind Burns, Cleverly, Macklin, possibly murray and barker too...

    This would be mine, Mo'ster;

    1: Carl Froch
    2: Amir Khan
    3: Ricky Burns
    4: Nathan Cleverly
    5:     Kevin Mitchell
    6: Martin Murray
    7: Kell Brook
    8: Rendell Munroe
    9:     Matthew Macklin
    10: George Groves


    Just off the top of my head really, only the top 3 are solid.

    EDIT: I've now edited this post 3 times in a minute. I'm so indecisive.

    :good after the world champions in the top 4 it gets tough. Mine would go...

    1. Froch
    2. Khan
    3. Burns
    4. Cleverly
    5. Afolabi
    6. Barker
    7. Brook
    8. Mitchell
    9. Groves
    10. Fury

    Macklin, John & Martin Murray, Munroe, DeGale & Chisora deserve a mention.

    Martin Murray is ridiculously high on that list off the back of a draw with Sturm. I'd even have Barker & Macklin above him still as Britains top 2 middleweights- the Spada win for Barker as well as Macklin's previous better quality of opponent & getting an equally controversial decision vs Sturm are better than anything Murray has on his record IMO.

    Aye, agree on Murray being too high. It was really just a top of the head effort and could definately be improved.
