    This is what I'm saying though- Enzo was a paper champ. Haye vacated. We're just filling in gaps otherwise, you should have to earn the champ status. We should be more stringent:bart.

    I havent checked if you put Rogie as #1

    i talked to him last night and he also agrees that Sexton doesnt deserve the #1 spot!

    Oh come on - even though he lost to Haye, Enzo was clearly the best of the domestic scene.

    Enzo and Afolabi fought for the vacant title :yep:good

    Rogie should register on ESB and post his top 10 then:yep:good. Paddy, you should do a list as well because Kos is tallying up all the votes behind the scenes.

    the prestige of being ranked no 1 on the ESB brit rankings is surely enough incentive for him to knock sexton out in the rematch. no more mr nice guy!

    Enzo didn't just 'lose', he was destroyed to such an extent that he lost to the relatively unknown 'Afolabi' next:bart. **** this 'fighting for the vacant' business as well- you HAVE to earn it, IMO:good.

    He would obviously have got a rematch against Haye for the title, but Haye moved up - so Afolabi just took his place :bart:yep;)

    Haye moved up to HW as he was afraid of what Enzo would do in the rematch:yep. In all seriousness, this needs to be reviewed. Ishy said it himself as well about Afolabi being an unknown quantity.

    Due to the passing of Vernon Forrest, he will remain as EEB champ until next week.
