    YES, for the same reason Abraham has not moved up yet. The difference is that Williams fougth his last fight against a middleweight, at middleweight, and his next fight is at middleweight...............therefore he should be ranked at middleweight.

    Forgot about the winky fight. I think AA should stay until the fight happens to give us a guage of where to put him. Why should a top 10 fighter be dropped to accomadate someone because he decided to move up?

    Agree, LHL. Also, like Rob is saying, we had trouble deciding where to put PW; now that he is fighting for the title and can be seen to be at 160 full time after the Winky fight, we should move him to the Middleweight rankings:good.

    Changes Made:

    Paul Williams moved to Middleweight and ranks in at 4th;

    Paulie Malignaggi is put into the Light-Welterweight rankings at 9th spot (I don't know why he was completely left out), Witter out of the top 10;

    Due to Paul Williams being moved up to middleweight, Lukas Konecny has been put in at 10th spot in the light-middleweight rankings.

    P4P list coming soon :good

    Nice one, Kos:good. Although I've managed to sway Rob, plenty of others still want Bradley and Hatton swapped as well.

    Its not completely unanimous, in fact its about even, so unless a few more people want the change, its not happening, which you will be happy about :yep:good

    Oi, I rate Bradley highly. That said, I can see the difference between hype and achievement thus far. I like the bloke but, IMO, he shouldn't be second... yet:good.

    Same as Juanma and Dawson- the potential is blatantly there but let's not get carried away by hype just yet. Dawson was in my P4P at 15th, though.

    I think it's only fair on Kos if the lists are final now, Pater. I debated Gonzalez and Hasegawa myself. Like I said before, as much as I may like certain boxers, I like to distuinguish between achievement and hype. I'll put it on record that I think Gonzalez is one of the most underrated fighhters in the world ATM, IMO:good. That said, others deserve to be above him, IMO.

    I like the way John is on the majority of the lists. He can't get a look in with the Ring:-(.
