    Hmm.

    Part of me thinks it's harsh on Khan, but im not sure, have to let the dust settle

    Froch and Haye are definatley ranked correctly

    I'd have khan 3rd. He's achieved much more than everyone but froch and Haye.

    absence of evidence is not evidence of absence though.

    Khan lost his last two fights against underdogs, he isn't a lock for top 3 anymore

    I'd have Khan above Kell Brook for sure.

    Clev is pretty high considering his recent run. I'd have khan above brook for sure and quite possibly macklin/barker above clev and brook but its all arbitrary anyway and can't be taken too seriously

    I'd have Khan 4th. He's beat much better fighters than Brook and Cleverly. Burns has been pretty dominant against solid opposition so deserves the spot above Khan IMO.

    It is shocking how many of those fighters are inactive. Barker hasn't been out since last year, bellew only been out once this year, mitchell only once this year, burns only once?.

    It is terrible stuff.

    Personally i think the list is toilet. I don't think the BBC even understand what Pound for Pound means.

    Guys this is what happens when you lose 2 on the bounce (one via KO) you drop rankings.

    Good list imo

    The quality of British boxing has truly dropped when you look at it like that.

    If people are making excuses for Khan, what about the excuses for macklin?

    Probably should of got the decision against sturm and puts in a decent effort against the undisputed number 1 at middleweight.
