    I'd agree that Munroe should be dropped down the list as well.

    Jennings ain't better than Rhodes in my opinion. Jennings is a nice boxer but he's frail and has no punch power. He's got nothing about him that suggests he'd ever hang in world class opposition, even fringe world class keeping in mind its a good division. I think Rhodes can hang up there because he's stronger, awkward and can punch his way out of a wet paper bag.

    Hatton is that high because I'm not so convinced he's 'way' past his best. Maybe slightly, but if you match him with normal world class he still hangs there IMO. I'm not putting him below Khan because Khan danced his way around Kotelnik. Hatton would have beat Kotelnik easily too, and is a much more proven fighter.

    Anyone else think Afolabi should be 15th in the list? Beating a **** poor recent version of Enzo hardly means he's better than Munroe, Murray, Small or Rhodes. In fact, Lindsay should be above him.

    I wouldn't put Afolabi in there. He's one to keep in mind but his overall form does not cry out to be included. Plus the fact he looked like he had a sparring partner mentality of clowning around and giving cheap rounds away. It will likely cost him against a less stupid/more physically and mentally durable opponent.

    By the way, if you don't include McCloskey you need to immediately log-out of this forum. He's beaten a former European champ in Lynes, solid opponents like Bazan and Tontchev, Nigel Wright, and looked mighty impressive doing it.

    Fair one mate. Hatton is too stupid/egotistical to fight normal champs now.

    He'll either quit or use his fanbase/marketing lure to get into a big fight again.

    Watch it lads i'm telling you know that if Mayweather beats Marquez................... Hatton will face Marquez ! Prob in the UK too
    Also i'd like you to take that back TFFP. I didn't put McCloskey in my top 10 because its MY TOP 10 :)

    I will do temporarily - BUT if anyone wants to change their list PM me or post it on the thread because I will tally it all up tomorrow, which may give it a more balanced look towards the bottom-half :good
