    In your view who are the top 10 british boxers at the moment?

    I would choose:

    Joe Calzaghe
    Ricky Hatton
    David Haye
    Carl Froch
    Nicky Cook
    Enzo Maccarinelli
    Kevin Mitchell
    Junior Witter
    John Thaxton
    Amir Khan/John Murray



    How about your views ?

    Put Witter above Cook and nudge everyone else down a notch and you are about there.

    Does anyone think witter has enough left to be able to regain a world title ? and will 2009 be the year that we see Mitchell have a world title shot?

    there are three that are clearly in the elite bracket:

    Calzaghe, Hatton, Haye (1-3)

    Near elite (when coupled with am background):

    Froch (4)

    Top contender type fighters:

    Witter, Cook, Maccarinelli (5-7))

    huge potential and already at the fringe level:

    Mitchell, Khan (8-9)

    Fringe level:

    Herbie Hide (10)
