BBC pound-for-pound British rankings

Audley did huge viewing figures when on the BBC. Around 6 million on his debut with them. What was his deal again? Something like £1 million for over 10 fights? That's a bargain really, especially when you consider the amount of money they pump into **** like Tennis and the Boat race. 'Sports' that nobody gives a **** about. Audley's run on the BBC was a success by the only criteria that matters on tv, viewing figures.

 

The only reason clev is so high is for beating bellew who is only as high as he is on that list for putting in a good showing against the overhyped cleverly.

 

Ricky Burns is above Haye for me.

Haye hasn't done a lot recently and Ricky has beat very good opponents.

 

You hit the nail on the head...on his debut he did well, how long did that last for?

By the time his deal had expired, he was still fighting glorified tomato cans (and not looking particularly good against them) and the viewing figures had dwindled, and the general public had basically sussed him already.

And look at it like this, in boxing nowadays, with money being tight amongst the lower ranks, £1m can buy you a lot more than 10 ****ing Audley Harrison fights.

 

BBC are some dumb ****ers, can someone tell them Khan lost to a drug cheat therefore when Peterson finally turns up to Nevada commissions hearing they will turn that win for Peterson into a N.C

Khan loses his first fight since Prescott and put him down to 6th??

 

I have Haye at #1 by a country mile, when he was fighting at a capped weight (cruiser) he was blasting all his opponents away inside the distance, now he's fighting at HW he's in against guys 2-3 stone heavier than him is still able to KO these guys, I think people forget this, say you put a 6'1 15st Wladimir in with Haye, i feel Haye would KO him easy

 

Bit of a daft comment to be honest that mate because if Wladimir was much smaller than he is he wouldn't have the same style so you can't say that for sure.

 

No place for Gavin Rees? He surely should be higher than Bellew,Barker,Mitchell and Macklin

 

Agree'd

 

Ill throw my own list in , just as anyone who are picking holes in various posts should do :

1. Carl Froch
2. David Haye
3. Amir Khan
4. Ricky Burns
5. Nathan Cleverly
6. George Groves
7. Kell Brook
8. Matthew Macklin
9. Carl Frampton
10. James De Gale

Mentions to Lee Selby , Kevin Mitchell , Tony Bellew , Kid Galahad , Rendall Munroe , Darren Barker & Gavin Rees

 

Agree.

 

Khan that low is bad, what has Cleverley done to deserve being above him?

 

Khan didn't lose to Peterson because Lamont is a drugs cheat.

He lost because he's utterly useless on the inside and has no solution other than to push, run or complain to the referee.

 

My list:

Froch
Cleverly
Burns
Khan
Haye
Afolabi
Martin Murray
Barker
Price
Fury
