    Lynes is a bottler and has half of Gary Lockett's heart.

    Example A: Against Branco he knocks him down, clowns him for a few rounds, and then manages to let the old Italian back into the fight to the point it is competitive in the eyes of Italian judges.

    Example B: He fights Paul McCloskey who is at short notice, wins a couple of rounds, and then proceeds to lose control of the fight, before quitting for no great reason.

    I doubt he'd fair too well with Ajose's speed, southpaw stance, and aggression. He's gets flustered, hot and bothered in there.

    McCloskey over Witter may be a fair shout.

    I agree with most of the list save middle and welter - barker deserves to be above mcewen and jennings deserves to be above brook at this stage.

    Other than that its pretty close. Its hard to be accurate with stuff like this anyway and it always comes down to interpretation.

    For instance I reckon Alex Arthur is probably the number 1 lightweight now that he has moved up but he still has to prove it so I cant argue with your rating of him.

    Frank could put arthur against murray or thaxton if he wins then khan 4 british/european title would save putting amir against murray or jono.
