    1) Hatton
    2) Haye
    3) Froch
    4) Cook
    5) Woods
    6) Witter
    7) Macceranelli
    8) Arthur
    9) Skelton
    10) Murray


    ok thats my top 10 British P4P. Maybe people will doubt its but its pretty much the right people. its fair to say that Froch, Haye and Hatton are deffinatyley the top 3.

    if Jennings beats Cotto where does he go in british P4P, sure he has only won the WBO but he hasnt won a vacant title like Enzo Macc or thought another Warren fighter like Cook did.

    Cotto is still in my top 10 p4p but hes got to be in at least everyones top 15, the only guy on that list that can say they beat a top 15 guy is Hatton (Tysuzu). Would a win put him ahead of Haye or Froch?

    Also where would he go in P4P? He would have to go above Cotto, although Cotto would drop down a few places.

    Guess it depends how cotto looks

    If cotto is a shell of his former self then it doesnt do much I spose ( altho I would already have him about no. 7 ) but if Cotto looks pretty much the same fighter and Jennings wins it would be hard to keep him out of the top 5.

    I just cant see it happening.

    British P4P is easier though, top 5, probably equal to Froch.

    World level.... hmmm.

    But it's all just hypothetical anyways.

    I think if he wins he will b British P4P best but to b honest i cant c him even challenging Cotto i hope im wrong but i see a Woods Tarver Jennings is still to fight a class oppenant wheras Cotto has won titles at 2 weights and fought World class fighters but i hope Jennings wins he seems a total down to earth lad.

    im hoping that at the very least Jennings makes a fight of it like Mallignaggi did. a true brit going out on his sheild. if paulie could hurt cotto then Jennings can. they say cotto was weight drained that night but apparnetly he is for this to. i cant see cotto being totally motivated for fighting a guy hes never heard of that hasnt fought anybody hes ever heard of.

    im my opinion if you beat someone you go ahead of them in the rankings, even if that meanc cotto goes down to number 500 which is probably where michael is.

    All it proves is what I have been saying for a while.

    Cotto is overrated.

    No, he's not.

    Cotto is fantastic. Was fantastic. Still could be fantastic.

    I'm in the "good but overrated" camp (and yes, I was saying that before Margo mullered him)

    In which respects is he overrated?

    After he got mullered by bricks, yes.

    Exactly. He was putting on a boxing clinic. This man can box forwards and back, and convincingly. He showed his skill against Margarito until Margarito came down on him like a ton of bricks :roll:

    He showed his skill on Mosley when he realised he can't just stalk this guy like his usual opponents, we saw how Margarito made the mistake of walking down Mosley.

    He showed his pressure game against Zab.

    He's quality.

    Nobody knows what were in those wraps at the moment, but it certainly wasn't bricks, plaster, concrete, cement or any of the other substances the kids over in the GF have been imagining.

    Back to the facts, Margo showed the weakness that a lot of people could see on Cotto, he likes to do everything at his own pace, thats a pretty big weakness.
