    fair enough but when making a list like that i would compare boxers actual boxing skills and for that reason he doesnt deserve to be that high imo

    True but boxing skills isn't all you need in boxing. You can have a good bit of skill and no heart (Audley) or a good bit of skill and no chin. P4P lists are always disputed because we look at different things in fighters. I can see why you wouldnt rate Rogie that high :good

    Good list Rob, I'd have a few different but on the whole very good:good
    Don't know about a top 50 but my top 30 would look something like this:

    1) Ricky Hatton
    2) David Haye
    3) Carl Froch
    4) Clinton Woods
    5) Enzo Maccarinelli
    6) Nicky Cook
    7) Jamie Moore
    8) Junior Witter
    9) Ian Napa
    10) Ryan Rhodes

    11) Alex Arthur
    12) Rendall Munroe
    13) Kevin Mitchell
    14) Martin Rogan
    15) Paul McCloskey
    16) Amir Khan
    17) Darren Barker
    18) Matt Skelton
    19) John Murray
    20) Michael Jennings

    21) Bradley Pryce
    22) Herbie Hide
    23) Wayne Elcock
    24) Jon Thaxton
    25) Brian Magee
    26) Paul Appleby
    27) Kell Brook
    28) Dean Francis
    29) Martin Lindsay
    30) Craig Watson

    Khan Beating Barrera would propel him right into the top ten and a win for Nicky Cook into the top five. Brook needs some decent opponent's to be top 20 and theres some great domestic match ups coming up with Price/Hall, Elcock/Macklin and Lindsay/Appleby which would have some bearing on a top 20.

    McCloskey is well too low. How is Paul Appleby and Nathan Cleverly above him?

    He's beaten Lynes, Bazan and Tontchev easily.

    McEwan is not on the list as hes never had a 12 round fight. Same rule applies to by world top 100.

    McCloskey will rise with a good win this weekend.

    Brook and Cleverly have 1 good win each, everyone above them has at least 2 or 3.
