    He would probably be in the top 10 at the expense of Thaxton really......

    Beating Small wouldn't move him up though, because I don't rate him at all.

    I do like Ryan Rhodes, one of my favourite boxers in the late 90s, I liked the Ingle trained fighters style a lot when I was younger

    Cleverly and Pryce would be top 15 for me

    I think Small can look very good in bursts

    Has Gavin Rees stopped boxing or is he going back down to LW?

    How is froch above haye? What a joke. Ive got nothing against Carl Froch and im glad he won the world title, but he's completly over-rated. His calling out of Joe Calzaghe is laughable. If he does meet his mandatory Jermain Taylor he will get well and truly exposed. And Kessler would kill him.

    Froch has the best belt in arguably the deepest division in the sport right now.

    It was no wonder that so many ducked him. Inkin...Taylor even ducked him for christ's sake, opting to fight and never-any-good pile 'o shite Jeff Lacy.

    I have more argument with Calzaghe being ranked above Hatton.

    The guy has decisioned 2 x boxing pensioners (and one of those wins was a split decision...35% of the viewers thought he lost).

    Hatton lost against the P4P no1 - he has ambition and otherwise has looked pretty mint.

    I like Haye and Froch and fair play to both of them.

    Calzaghe is the stinker in this list. The cherry-picking chicken **** should give B-hop a rematch. "I had an off night and still beat him" - no mate, Hopkins was the one who had the off night not you.

    I'd love to put Hatton top of the pile, but 46-0, SMW and LHW champion. Wins over Kessler, an undefeated and hyped Lacy, Eubank and Woodhall. As well as a win over Hopkins who then went on to beat Pavlik. Calzaghe is a shoe in at number 1. And this is without the Roy Jones fight.
