    1. Haye - out on his own
    2. Harrison - Will go out on his sword at the end of his career
    3. Chisora - The Sexton rematch will be his acid test
    4. Sexton - Prize fighter was his turning point then 2 good wins over Rogan. Has to reverse his '0' against Chisora
    5. Fury - Proved some doubters wrong last night
    6. McDermott - Unlucky in Fury 1 & The Williams. Still too seasoned for those below
    7. Sprott - Still a threat who blows hot and cold
    8. Larry..... - Awesome power, but stamina?
    9. Dallas - Building up well
    10. Skelton - this applies to Rogan below
    Outside my top 10
    • Rogan - not sure what they have left, but on their day could still be a test for any on the above list
    • Price - He needs a proper test
    • Tower - untested so far

    1. Olympic medal counts for nothing in the pro game.
    2. One of the biggest paper Euro champs in the last 30 years.
    3. Seems unlikely he will fight Haye now - not that it should count for anything.

    If for arguments sake you put the names on the list in a prediction league and say gave 3 points to a good win, 2 points for a close win, 1 point for a draw or a close defeat, a zero for a poor defeat.

    I would assume Haye would get a healthy 27 points, but the others would be hit and miss

    Ok I agree with all what you say. Now look at the others. Chisora fought a shot British Champ who should have retired some time earlier

    Yes, that's why I would have Sexton and possibly Fury now ahead of him. I agree with the fighters in your list (although I would swap Rogan for Skelton), just I would have it in a different order :good

    I assume most on here would agree on the names, but lets say 11 and include Rogan and Skelton.

    The way of agreeing the order of the 11 is a prediction league

    Why do you say that? I previously stated I didn't like the guy, but I have since warmed to him. But the facts are, he has beat a shot Williams in his last fight and a inexperienced Sexton yonks ago. Does that make him the 2nd best Heavyweight in the country? In my opinion, no.

    OK. How would you predict the following fights?
    • Chisora v Sexton II
    • Harrison v Rogan II
    I would predict Chisora & Harrison to come through

    • Fury v Chisora or Sexton
    I think the Fury of last night would win both

    I think Chisora will beat Sexton. Rogan would beat Harrison. Fury would beat all 4.

    but i am ranking on achievement not who i think would win.
