    Your just such an idiot it is unreal, Chisora has lost 4 times destroyed by Haye and outboxed easy by Klitschko and Fury he isn't even top 10 HW. Froch number 1 no question. Murray lol based on what loosing to Martinez and he lost to Sturm in my eyes. Brook hasn't fought anything decent best win over a guy Malignaggi schooled and stopped. Fury did you see his last fight? maybe in the top 10 uk but no way top 5.

    1 Froch
    2 Groves
    3 Frampton
    4 Quigg
    5 Burns

    I don't hate Froch. He's a good fighter, just overrated.

    I think Khan has more upside than him and at this point they're similar in a p4p sense.

    Think of it this way, Froch can never become #1 in his division. Khan has the potential to.

    The man who was dropped by Carlos Molina? Getting dropped by Molina is worse than getting dropped off Groves, no debate about it.

    At 147? How exactly, I don't even see him having the potential to be Top 5 myself. He won't go back to 140, as he says he can't, he's had no fights at 147 and was dropped, as I say, by a relatively light hitter at a catchweight. Where is this potential?

    I don't know, if ward continues to just not fight then how long can you keep him number 1? I hear there were rumours of him retiring aswell. If that happens that #1 spot is up for grabs.

    Khan loses to Garcia every time and would get K.O'd by matthysse so I don't see him becoming #1 at 140 anytime soon.

    All subjective of course but I have froch well ahead of khan

    Khan has a weak chin, but his other assets make up for it.

    Froch has a fairly good chin, and doesn't have enough besides that at the highest level if he's getting dropped by guys like Groves.

    Ward isn't going to retire. He's just waiting for someone to gain some shine at 168. I can see him rematching Froch if he manages to get through Groves.

    Anthony Joshua has the most potential of any UK fighter.

    Groves is impressive, as is Frampton.

    Hughie Fury may or may not develop into a world-class heavyweight. Khan and Tyson Fury are ordinary but overrated.

    Froch is decent but getting old. Burns, Brook, Murray, Gavin, Bellew, Quigg, Cleverly and Chisora are decent but not really elite boxers.

    Fair enough, but Khan has proven himself to be sufficiently thick that I could never see him being the No.1 at 147 still.
