    BTW, are the Irish involved in this?

    We could give you a couple of aces in this argument:deal

    Smith did say he was thinking about that. Said it could be a British and Irish.

    how about Brit and Irish but they have to be born in those countries?

    The Irish 'thing' gets a bit complicated when you start including John L and Sharkey etc....

    Rinty Monaghan (sp?) would strengthen an already strong Fly list.

    So..............

    1) To qualify for ranking a fighter must have been born in the UK or Eire or have fought for a British/ Irish title.


    2) A boxer will only be considered for ranking in divisions in which he actually fought.

    3) A boxer may be eligible for ranking in more than one division but will not be given any credit for wins outside the specific division being ranked.



    We'll do Heavy, Lt Heavy, Middle........Fly first and then go back up to Cruiser and fill in the gaps?

    We'll have to really think about these rankings.
