    Mine, would probably look something like the below, although quite a few of them could be switched around. Khan Earl for example, and 4-7 can be switched about too.

    1. Thaxton
    2. Earl
    3. Khan
    4. Meager
    5. Mcallister
    6. Murray
    7. Fewkes
    8. Limmond
    9. Stewart
    10. Lawton

    Seems pretty good to me. Id put Limond 5th though, i think he is more accomplished than 6-8 places.

    Always subjective arent they !! I kind of agree though, Ive rated Earl above Khan on accomplishment, and yet Murray and Fewkes above Limmond on potential - no consistency.

    I'd agree , but Earl has achieved more which is why he would be ranked higher .

    Kastidis and the win against Romanov put him higher for me. Plus Earls beaten a ruck of domestic fighters.

    i'd defo have limond above murray, fewkes and mcallister. not earl though, who's established top 2.

    i'm still gutted he pulled out of the chance to fight thaxton!

    Earl
    Meager

    Murray
    Mcallister
    Fewkes
    Lawton
    Stewart

    Thats my guess. It seems we have a decent competive division at the moment with a couple of fighters looking to go onto better things , a few who a very capable domestic fighters and some highly rated prospects who we can hopefully get excited about soon.

    I put Khan on top because I believe he has the talent and ability to beat the rest and can only see a Thaxton lucky thump getting the win against him. No one will get a decision on the boy because he is too well backed by the money people for tha to happen.
