    For me Haye has to be ahead of Khan. Both Haye and Khan CV's have many similarities: Records - Haye 24-1 Khan 23-1; both been stopped once; both have a solitary belt at current weight and only a small number of defenses. Though Haye's achievements at CW (3 Belts) has to outweigh Khan's LW performances.

    I think you could make a good argument for Haye being number 1 aswell but the constant shite he has spouted for probably about 18 months is affecting his reputation.

    I am sure though that by the end of their respective careers Khan will have achieved more than anyone on that list

    If Enzo beats Frenkel will he go ahead of Alafobi?

    I think it is.

    Probably, dependant on the performance I guess.

    Would have Ajisafe ahead of McEnzie as he has a win over him.

    McEnzie won PF but was at a higher weight.

    Dickinson ahead of Edwards.

    True, even though it was a controversial decision a win is a win.

    I didn't rank Dickinson too high in case people felt I was being biased :)D). I would say that his best wins (Mendy and Hughes) are seen as that with hindsight, plus he was a stone heavier when he beat Mendy. But yeah, he should be ahead of Edwards I guess.

    1. Cleverly
    2. McIntosh
    3. Bellew
    4. Ajisafe
    5. McKenzie
    6. Stubbs
    7. Dickinson
    8. Jeffries

    After these I'm struggling..... Jamie Ambler is a half decent fighter but his record is shite - for some reason he just loses to bums and judging by his record doesn't really try against better fighters.

    Bambula?

    I'd put Clev and Bellew nailed on 1 and 2. Yeah technically McIntosh might have done more than Bellew but really its only delaying the inevitable. We all know Bellew would crush him to be honest so it seems a bit of a waste of time pretending otherwise.

    Bit of a crap division aside from them two ain't it.

    Yeah probably so.

    Bellew's opposition so far has been gash through no fault of his own.....

    You could add Stevie McGuire and Tony Dodson :think

    Super middle might be the best division domestically come to think of it.

    it is delaying the inevitable but McEnzie, McIntosh and Ajisafe all have better wins. Bellew has actually done nothing.

    Are these rankings based on results or talent? If so the rankings arent too bad at all but really I think performances in fights should count as well and as a result bellew deserves to be higher. I'd agree more with beestons list

    Based on both, but results are the more prominent in determining the rankings. It can get a bit sketchy when fights are unavailable to view and we have to determine how good a performance was based on a fight report (sometimes, at least for 'lesser-known' fighters, the reports can consist of just, for example, 'Travis Dickinson won a 39-36 decision over Patrick Mendy').

    Stevie McGuire can be added to Light Heavy. His last two fights have been above Super Middle and he turned down a degale fight as he is staying there. wont make 168lbs again.

    I would put him behind Bellew.

    bellew doesnt deserve to be higher. he hasnt beat anyone. when he beats Ajisafe he will got 2nd.

    Ajisafe has beaten McEnzie
    McEnzie beat win prizefighter and KO'd Boyle in round 1
    What has Bellew done?
