    I'd go:

    Taylor
    Smith
    Fury
    Warrington
    Frampton

    Top 5

    Saunders isn't doing much lately..

    Buatsi looks a good one for the future too..

    It's based on eye test & potential mostly, though he did destroy Groves easier than anyone has..

    I think 2020 will be a big year for him..

    Fine if u disagree, but he looks the goods to me.. he's had the odd meh performance but that's probably down to lack of motivation towards them.. I think he'll raise his game for the big nights.. Fury had some off nights on his way up.. most fighters do.. I personally just think he's a better boxer than Warrington who I'm a fan of too..

    Taylor is number 1 for me. After the postal fight i said he was the best in Britain and he has backed that up now.

    I'd even say he is Britain's best since Calzaghe.

    How can you have Fury over Warrington who’s beat Frampton, Selby and Galahad the last 18 months when Fury has beat Wallin, Seferi and Pienneta?

    P4p I would say it is hard to argue that Taylor is not number 1 in the UK.

    He ticks every box.

    Fury has wins over Wlad and Wilder (we all know he won the fight).

    Taylor has yet to beat a fighter on the same level.

    I always had him beating Prograis. He's the best you guys have had for a long time. I think he is better than Calzaghe, it took Calzaghe a long time to beat a truly elite fighter and for me his best win was against Kessler. Taylor has unified already in a young pro career and beaten Postal, Baranchyk and Prograis!

    Fury beat Wlad 4 years ago! You can’t go back that far to look for a decent win. He didn’t beat Wilder, quite the opposite. Wilder knocked the soul out of him and Fury refused to rematch him. Fury might be the most talented boxer (same with Billy Joe) but they really need some notable wins, one would do.

    I personally think it all depends how you rank p4p (which is very subjective)

    If you are ranking it on recent form then you have to give it to Taylor, if you are ranking it on ability then I think Fury and Saunders are more talented and itd be one of them.

    If AJ had beaten Ruiz jr then I'd have had him top but with that loss he tumbles out of the top 5. Funny old game.
