    1. Amir Khan

    Has no top level wins in my view. Maidana is vastly overrated due to the first Floyd fight. It's worth remembering he was beaten by Alexander.

    So who has Khan actually beaten? Why did he ever think he was deserving of a fight vs Floyd or Pac Man?

    2. Tony Bellew

    Who has Tony actually beaten at the top level? Nobody is the answer. He'll spend the next week telling us how he'll go to the trenches, will fight a war, etc etc before trying to box on the back foot and getting beaten.

    3. BJS

    Again, who has he beaten? Andy Lee? So what? Eubank Jr? The same Eubank Jr who turned down a world title fight vs Jacobs to fight at the British title level?

    He turned down a record high pay day against Golovkin yet still continues to talk rubbish about GGG. He's a bottle job who wants to defend his alphabet belt against bums.

    4. Liam Smith

    Wins his belt by fighting bums and then calls out everyone under the sun. He's a nobody, zero profile, zero decent wins etc.

    5. Paul Smith

    He either gets beaten by world class boxers or he fights bums. Nothing in between. His ego won't allow him to fight anyone semi-decent that he is expected to beat as he'd be unable to take the pain of losing. Why has he continually not fought Fielding? It's a fight that makes perfect sense.

    Honourable mentions to James DeGale. Thinks fighting in the States on cards no one watches means he'll bang out the O2 as a PPV fighter when he next fights in the UK. Idiot.

    David haye actually believes he will win a world title. He has to be number 1 surly. As for degale he is getting payed a fortune to box over their and I believe he beats jack. Eubank Jr deluded thinking he will beat degale he only British level at 160

    So nobody then?

    He's a world champ having not beat anyone of note, whilst ducking a career high pay day in the process.

    Aye not sure the eubank reason is valid also. Just because he went for the british instead of the WBA regular title, doesn't make him a poor boxer

    It's not delusion, it's trying to con and fool the boxing public.
    It's the way of the modern game, cut you way through with the least risk and try to fool the public that you're putting it all on the line.
    I mean look at the unbeaten behemoth Haye foaught on Saturday, a real high risk low reward encounter, the fans in the O2 must have been ****ting themselves.

    Credit where credit is due, this is actually a solid list. BJS deserves to be on there just because he's claiming he'd be super keen to fight GGG if he were in Canelo's position. He wouldn't.

    1. Khan :- decent fighter masquerading as an elite,resume is weak and he's a deluded ****.

    2. Haye :- to interested in being a z list celeb like those george shore and Es*** tits.

    3. Mr Patel :- total bellend only has one fan that is the mighty atom TerryTibbs.

    4. Bellew :- decent fighter but better commentator.

    5. Dillian Whyte :- fought nobody of note yet people talk about him like he's some top 10 fighter. Bragging rights is getting his **** kicked by another hype job in Joshua.

    Him playing the victim card, plus back tracking on various comments have put me off him a bit.
