In fairness, Dan, I'd say it's a fair list now. It incorporates all what we have said and there are no glaring ommissions, maybe Lindsay like I said but apart from that it's decent. We have in depth rankings now. We should design a belt and make fighters wear it if they are ESB champ.
Brilliant job, Kos, and everyone else. These rankings are way better than any of the ones with ulterior motives that the sanctioning bodies use. Come on then, Kos, no rest for the wicked- start up the world ones:good. We're all gonna be up till the early hours anywayatsch.
Just a follow on from the British rankings thread, only this time with any fighters in the world. ESB's August Boxer of the month: This content is protected This content is protected 2.

Can I do a more exciting one now that 154 is out of the way, Kos? 147 maybe? Also, Sam Peters above Gomez, IMO.
Paul Williams is the 154lb champ for beating Verno Phillips who is now not even worthy of making the list :huh Bizarre.
Rectify it then, it's what this thread is about. Also, I hope you read my Toney update on the other thread- I'm not having anyone thinking I was serious:nono.
Sorry Mr Hungarian but I got as far as Haye being number 2 and ....... IMHO its the same situation as your initial Tyson Fury ranking in the Brit list, too much emphasis on potential and not enough on accomplishments. (thats not to say is hasn't been a sterling effort and a good idea on your part in these theads)
