I don't hold much stock by any ranking system these days but I do know we need one....Oh and as far as I am aware both Colin Robinson and Rodney Moore are retired from competition for now but I hope at some point to tempt Rodders back when the time is right!; ▶ Reply to This

Just a few small things that i would change - Colin McKee is WW and should be #1!
Lee Defo for #1

Kevin should be #1, after just beatin Fernandez
Norman Parke should be #2

also there are a few names in there who dont fight any more and have retired, such as Colin Robinson, Rodders & Aiden etc, how long does a fighter have to be inactive before they move down the list?

Excellent effort guys!; ▶ Reply to This

I can't really comment on any of them as i havent seen many of them fight but in my opinion alot of resuffling needs to be done from what i hear though the grapvine. It feels like it is a very narrow minded view, though fair play for giving it a go. I'm not one for mixing, I like to keep my head down and do the training, when im not throwing up a lung in case Ali mentions why I havent managed to train this week; ▶ Reply to This

Man with genitals in pipe

A man who went to casualty with his penis stuck in a steel pipe had to be cut free by firefighters using a metal grinder.
Medics at Southampton General Hospital could not get the man's penis out of the stainless steel pipe because the restricted blood flow had caused it to become aroused, so they called in Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.
They turned up with a special equipment unit from St Mary's station in Southampton and seven firefighters to help in what a spokesman said was a "delicate operation". The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch grinder to cut the pipe from around the man's penis and it took about 30 minutes. The patient was given an anaesthetic and his penis was left bruised and swollen but otherwise unharmed. The anxious man, aged about 40, gave hospital staff no explanation about how the pipe got stuck after he turned up on Tuesday morning. A Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Initially the crew did not have the appropriate cutting equipment to free the man. "It was a very delicate operation that required a very steady hand and the crew was worried about things getting too hot during the cutting. "It's certainly an unusual call-out and I'm sure the man won't be getting into that situation again."
