    Criticise.

    Okay Jeffro, a very well thought out and respectable list but I'll have a go at you anyway.

    Choi #1 fine

    #2 should be Appelby
    #3 Lindasy just about, he caught matthews with a lovely big swinger and laid him out but he was far from impressive

    anyway, I'll give you a better arguemnet when I am sober. I do like your list though! always thought provoking!

    Chuckles no1 end of argument.

    The only reason I can see jeff putting him way down there is simply to wind my scottish up, surely there is no other logical reason?

    If so please say, & make me laugh so much that I will need to reach for my inhaler.

    No mate sorry, can't find anything to criticise there! Apart from maybe Appleby should be higher in the list. Nice post man :)

    Didnt realise it was a top ten.

    Matthews at 3 ? One of his top wins was against Simpson ?

    Thaa Simpson fight was a shocker. The points etc were a complete **** up ! Given all his points deducted, did it not make it impossible for him to have won ? Or either Simpson never won a round ? Maybe am thinking of the wrong fight, got a feeling i aint.

    I struggled with Appleby and Lindsay but felt that Appleby hasn't really beaten anyone other then Simpson and a very creaky Pickering. I have to admit he hasn't impressed me that much, yet. As for Lindsay, the Mathews win means I can't really put him anywhere else without demoting Mathews, who for all his controversy has a pretty excellent resume and can't really be put any lower. As for the font, no idea what happened there!!

    i think lindsay and bhatia are the best of the lot.

    They are in order.. thus a 1 appears next to Choi and a 2 appears next to Mathews.....?

    Theres no logical explanation in my mind for having Lindsay and Matthews above Appleby at present.
