Have you ever made a change to one of your lists based on criticism given by other people?
If they convince me.

There seems to be some sort of insanity on this forum. You lot (at least a few of you) seem to think that anything you say is absolute gold and should be accepted as such by anyone who reads it.

I've pointed out that Kevin Satchell - who is currently ranked at number 22 in your rankings - is fighting in the most shallow domestic division. A domestic division that, according to BoxRec, has just 8 (!) active boxers operating in. So just because he is the number 1 in that division, it really doesn't mean much - at all - in a P4P sense.

As a comparison, I will even use a boxer that is not even in your top 30: Billy Joe Saunders.

Saunders' best wins:
Nick Blackwell
Matthew Hall
Jarrod Fletcher
Bradley Pryce
Tony Hill
Kevin Hammond
Lee Noble
Gary Boulden

Satchell's best wins:
Luke Wilton
Chris Edwards
Paul Edwards
Martin Power

Can you honestly tell me Satchell has a better record than BJS?

Satchell fights good domestic fighters at their own weight. Saunders has dragged some of his best opponents up a division.

Satchell has the better record in my opinion.

As I've pointed out plenty of times already, flyweight is a terrible division domestically. This is a division that in recent times saw Usman Ahmed get a British title opportunity. I could also point out that Chris Edwards and Power especially were past their best when Satchell beat them, while Paul Edwards has never been much to write home about. For me, his last win over Wilton is the only one that stands out.

BJS has 'dragged' up two fighters to middleweight. Two. Remove Hall and Pryce from his record if you want, it is still better than Satchell's.

They are pretty much his best wins. His record is totally unworthy of top 30 consideration without those two wins.

He keeps dragging up light middleweights, it is pathetic.

He needs to fight proven middleweights.
You seem to dislike bjs and this is your reasoning for keeping him out, a couple of opponents have come up in weiht but then you look at solid wins like fletcher and blackwell. You cant deny he has an impressive resume, deserving of a top 30 spot at least, if not higher.

I do deny he deserves a top 30 place, otherwise I would have him in the top 30.

He is one of the leading contenders for a place, but he should fight more legitimate middleweights or drop down a division.
