    Seems fine that list Kosa not much to talk about on it. The cruiserweights will spark a real debate :lol:

    I'd say that was a fair list. Maybe at this point in time McDermott should be above Fury and Fury should be below Sprott but aside from that I agree with the 10 involved.

    I agree Fury is too high based on what he has actually done, he'll probably beat a lot of the guys above him but thats not really the issue IMHO.

    i wasn't sure about chisora, but i guess he holds a win over sexton so can't be placed any lower

    Also, are we talking about current versions of those involved because maybe Williams deserves to be infront of Skelton if we're talking about career resume thus far.

    I just think Skelton has done that bit more than Williams in recent years even though he lost his last fight. Plus Williams did not look impressive in either of his 'wins' against McDermott.

    I defo agree with that but I'm talking about his glory days.:think On current form Skelton does deserve to be above him, though:blood.

    Yep, I'm not just rating tham on their entire career, but other factors as, for example, their current form, class of opponents, performance in fights etc. :good

    Give me a reason for why he shouldn't be and also tell me who should be in the top 10 in place of Audley. If people agree with you then I will change it.

    Chisora, whilst being a *****, does have a more standout victory than Fury though and has had a couple more fights.

    Still, if people back you up on it I will move him down :good

    Chisora at 5 :think
    Apart from that win against an inexperienced Sexton he hasn't done much else.
