    Went nip and tuck with the number 2. Until that's settled they are both there or thereabouts.

    There are actually a few guys on there set to get straightened out this year - Taylor/Catterall hopefully be off by year's end, one of Okolie/Riak, John Ryder will drop off.

    He lost. Sunny never has. I don't think he has ever lost a round. I see no case for him being above Sunny. Really lazy ranking.

    Yeah, if you treat it as a loss for ranking purposes that's ok. If you treat all losses as equal, that's weird.

    Either way, I disagree. Sunny hasn't sat a test remotely like Taylor, not remotely close - in no way comparable in any sporting sense. You have him outright failing it, I don't, hence the difference in ranking.

    that sir, is a proper response. We can agree to disagree but your logic is one I get.

    Against a Cruiserweight who knocked him down in a dodgy stoppage. Dubois is very poor and I can’t believe some people rate him so highly, especially non-Brits.

    He has big muscles! How dare you say he's overrated!

    To be honest I'd back his sister to bang him out

    Dubois just isn't spiteful enough, when he gets hit he seems to clam up, he's not a fighter, just a big muscley lad that can obviously hit hard and box to a certain level.
