    yes. I would put Froch, Haye and Burns above him just cause Khan has lost his past 2 fights against guys he was favored to beat.

    Pretty poor but its all subjective and I suppose you can make an argument for most positions.

    #6 is poor for Khan. Peterson has admitted to taking drugs prior to the fight. He recently unified his division.

    Gavin Rees' exclusion is very poor. Former world champ, current Euro champ (defended away from home too), beaten once, winning via KO too! He's ahead of Brook for me especially seeing how Brook struggled with Jones.

    My list:

    Froch
    Haye
    Burns/Khan
    Cleverly
    Rees
    Brook
    Macklin/Barker
    Mitchell/Bellew

    Good call completely forgot I'd have him above Mitchell and Bellew.

    I don't think Bellew could achieve more than Rees, which is no insult at all.

    I have Selby #11 myself , but any of the positions from 7 - 14 are interchangeable for me

    There's a pool of guys that just have nothing between them and its very difficult to rank P4P , i always go with with ability coupled with CV / resume , and then consider form , everyones different
