Why have you dropped Mitchell from 135 when he was in them right up until your last rankings? In fact he was number 2 above Rees last time out.
Yeah I know, but now he has a fight announced he is more active than he was the time of the last list in which he was included. Just interested why now. He shouldn't have been in them for a while, but now he is fighting seems an odd time to drop him.
Always an interesting read, can I ask why you have got Mendy above Smith in the middleweight rankings?
I know he would. As he should have been last month. Is that the criteria then? One year without a fight and out? Cool :thumbsup
