Thread: Current British Top Ten

Who would you have in the list and in what order ?
What crtiteria would you use to include or exclude fighters ?

Froch,Haye,Burns,Barker,Brook,Quigg,Frampton,Murra y,Khan
Macklin,Cleverly,Haskins,Selby,Purdy,Rose,Price,Fu ry,Mcdonell,Buckland,Gavin,Saunders,Groves,Bellew, Butler,Satchell ?

I am finding it difficult

1.Froch
2.Haye
3.Burns
4.Khan
5.Brook
6.Barker
7.Murray
8.Quigg
9.Frampton
10.Selby


But then I have left no room for Haskins,Cleverly,Rose,Groves,

I also have Khan above Brook on achievements but think that Kell would stop Khan comfortably. Having done that I then put Quigg above Frampton because again I think he is a more rounded fighter than Carl. Selby could just as easily be Butler for potential and Groves may well go on to great things but not until he learns not to be so easy to hit. Cleverly again is missing as is Macklin two pretty glaring omissions, but I think Murray sneaks just above Macklin and Nathan really needs to be more busy.

Froch
Haye
Frampton
Burns
Khan
Brook
Selby
Murray
Barker
Groves

@Greenbeanz

Barker

Macklin
Khan
De gale
Murray
Brook
Gavin

There is no shortage of talent in Britain and no other domestic scene is even in the same league. Deep, deep and ubiquitous talent pool. It’s been an absolute pleasure over the past few years to be able to follow it on Guru and Wizi. On many occasions the card turns out to blow that weekends ppv away. Nice to see the father country of pugilism continue to churn it out.

I'm surprised not many have mentioned Cleverly

There's something beatable about Cleverly. His opposition has been shocking.

Martin Murray has to rate above Barker and Macklin considering his performances against Martinez and Sturm. Murray's showing against THE genuine middleweight champ and a proper world-class middle is much better form than some British "world" champs.

Based purely on world form -

1. Froch
2. Khan
3. Haye
4. Murray
5. Burns

The next five.......

Barker is the best thing to come out of Barnet ever. Closely followed by Jerry Springer whose Mother squeezed him out during a WW2 air raid in the underground train station.

Froch,
Burns,
Khan
Cleverly,
Haye,
Macklin,
Murray,
Barker,
Brook,
Degale

It's tough, mine would be:

Haye - top because I think on his day he could beat anyone in the division and really is a special talent.

Froch - most inspirational UK fighter of my generation. Fears no one, wins through grit and hard work.

Murray - has proven he is the real deal and can beat the best (has done twice on my card)

Burns, Khan, Cleverley (basically all the same position, but that order if I had to) - very good, but very protected.

Brook - looking like a genuine contender, I'm probably being generous though as he'll likely get sparked in his first world title fight.

Selby - vicious little fucker who I think has got world title written all over him.

Barker, Macklin - I'm probably being harsh to both of these, but I think they are good domestically and mostly EU, but will always fall short on the world stage.
