    Decent list overall. A little bit of UK bias (I think Hatton, Munroe and Cleverly are all a hair high), but not bad overall.

    And before you ask who I'd have ahead of Cleverly - Chris Henry, Yusef Mack, Hugo Garay. Clev has excellent potential (although he's a bit light hitting for a top guy), but he hasn't really beaten anyone of note other than Tony Oakey. I'd like to see him fight against someone one level up from that before ranking him in the top 10.

    I would have those guys above Clev :good. Your assessment is very fair, his opposition has been average.

    Hatton stays at 1st. If Bradley looks real good agaisnt Peterson he will go ahead.

    Karo Murat to replace Clev at 10th Light Heavy. Humberto Martinez replaces Cook at super feather.

    One glaring problem i noticed without reviewing the whole list, is how can Ola Afalobi be ranked # 9 CW. He's arguably #1 and he's holding a major belt i'm pretty sure. To have BJ Flores plus 6 other fighters above him is utterly shocking

    Huck is the champ, not Afolabi.

    Afolabi just has the meaningless interm title. :dead

    The winner of Afolabi vs. Huck will be the Full WBO Champ.

    I rate Ola and give him a real **** agaisnt Huck. but these rankings are based on results, not on how good you think a fighter can be. Ola has 1 decent win.

    I agree he should be ahead of Flores though. will change
