    Bit of a strange one. I know their ratings have been a big iffy for a while now, but it surprised me. I like Groves but I think 7 is a little high for him also.

    Groves and Froch are down as from 'England'. Degale is listed as 'United Kingdom'. Poor.

    Yeah i agree saw this other day, I never care for the ring though there biased to GBP fighters for obvious reasons. Groves link with them is still strong.

    Neither Degale or Groves should be in top 10. Having them in there is laughable

    I here their ratings are going to be used by the Beeb and VVarren to create the United Kingdom Boxing Championships... ;)

    I'd have Groves higher than Degale but both are too high by the sounds of things.

    :lol:

    I could rip right into this, but what's the point?

    Having any prospect in your top ten for division says one of two things: 1, there's little talent in the division, or 2, you're a ****ing idiot. Considering The Ring's primary staff includes Michael Rosenthal and his mini-me (who has improved in fairness, despite his tendency to write the longest context pieces in front of his Q&As - sloppy work, quite frankly), I think we can assume it's no.2.

    Groves/****y above Brian Magee? They've never even fought someone as good as Magee. Utter crap, quite honestly.
