    Four years ago most people would have laughed at the suggestion that Froch would ever be anywhere near the top 10 P4P.

    Sillakh could be in with a shout by this point in time.

    Depends on the landscape at 175 in 4 years time though, have to think a few current super mids will have stepped up by then. Perhaps Sillakh-Ward will already have happened? :think

    Don't think he's near top 10 even at the minute. Before the ward fight he was prob on the fringes of it but prob lucky to be in my top 20 p4p if I'd to give it thought. A win over bute in may obviously changes all that. Where would you have him at?

    Rigo will be 36, Donaire 33, Dawson also 33.

    Who knows if these guys will still be performing at the top level then?

    Who'd have guessed four years ago that Pac would have achieved what he has? That Sergio Martinez and Tim Bradley would end up this good?

    Before the Ward fight there was a very good argument for having him top ten, given the level of competition he'd been in with. Right now I'd still have him around the top 15.

    Not bad for a guy who is actually quite limited and doesn't look like a natural fighter (unlike Brook and Frampton in my opinion).

    I really don't see what's so funny about that. We're talking 2016.

    Brook is a talent. Over the next couple of years he'll be in with much better competition and will have the opportunity to prove it.

    You got a list of your own, rather than just slating other peoples? Let me guess it starts with 1. Amir Khan, and ends with 10. Amir Khan?

    I'm not slating it. I'm stating what I think of it.

    Yeah it does, and number 10 is Haroon Khan.

    Canelo will never be considered a superior fighter to Ward.

    Not an easy one that, would find it difficult to pick my top 10 british p4p currently!! You'd have too many guys that have just turned pro or will after the olympics that might burst on to the scene and could have a huge impact. :huh

    I think the top 4 would be something like

    1-Brook
    2-khan
    3-Cleverly
    4-Groves
    5-Degale

    The rest are quite hard to pick

    Brook has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he will be P4P in 4 years time. I wouldn't even favor him against the top guys at 140 never mind the top guys at 147.

    No way degale will be top 5 british boxer in 4 years. Brook and kahn yes. Cleverly maybe?
    1. Brook
    2. Kahn
    3. Billy joe Saunders
    4. George Groves
    5. Anthony Joshua (taking a risk there I know but hey)
