The new ESB Brit Forum British Rankings - Light Heavyweight rankings added

mckenzie's prizefighter win was at a different weight, boyle had lost 3 of his last 4 before it + bellew is the holder of a domestic belt also winning with a ko in round 1. I just think there should be an element of common sense in it, everyone can see bellew will go onto bigger levels than ajisafe and mckensie are at and would beat both if/when he faces them

 

hasn't Harrison vacated the EBU title?

 

Dimitrenko

 

yes purse bids for that fight are due Sep 3rd.

 

The titles are meaningless its the competition you face to win them that counts. The guy he faced was useless.

The element of common sense says you can't rank on potential. If Bellew beats Ajisafe he goes 2nd, until then he needs to be behind both of them.

HE HASN'T FACED ANYONE!!!

 

lets get the SMW's up Kos

 

:think

SMW's will be tough me thinks.

 

ESB Champ: Carl Froch (26-1)
1. Brian Magee* (33-3-1)
2. Paul Smith* (29-1)
3. Tony Quigley (13-2)
4. George Groves** (10-0)
5. Kenny Anderson (11-0)
6. Darren McDermott (17-2-1)
7. Patrick Mendy (8-4)
8. Carl Dilks (14-2)
9. Tony Dodson (24-6-1)
10. Stevie McGuire (15-1-1)
11. James DeGale (7-0)
12. Paul David (12-5)

:think

Cant argue too much with that, other than I dont think Dilks belongs in that list at all. And if he does, certainly not that high.

I'd take Dilks out, move everyone else up a spot and put Horton in at #12.

Other than that though mate :good

Dodson should be higher.

Stevie McGuires last two fights have been well above 168lbs and his trainer/manager has said he is staying at 168lbs.

McDermott should still be ranked at Middleweight until he fights at Super Middle. If you do rank him there, he should be below Paul David.

 

Didnt know Horton had retired! atsch

Dilks has only had about 2 fights at SMW hasnt he? I dont think he's beaten anyone of note either to get him so high in the rankings.

That being said though, and given that I'm obviously a muppet for not knowing Horton had retired, I'm not sure who I'd replace him with. But I'd certainly rank the four you have below, ahead of him.

 

yeh 5-7 in the rankings.....at Middleweight.

I still think going 10 with Paul Smith is better than Mendys PF win, or anyhting DeGale and Dilks have done.
