Time for a P4P update. These sort of lists are not to be taken too seriously of course, but it's always a bit of fun to rank the best in the world. It's been over three months since we posted our previous rankings, and plenty has happened since then.
Our criteria:
1. Current level of ability
2. Accomplishments over the last 3 years
Let's get to the rankings...

Though the boxing world hasn't been all that busy since our last P4P list was posted (May 8), there has been enough activity to warrant an update to our top 25 list.
We've also added a couple new writers since then - Corey Erdman & Anthony Wilson - that are voting for the first time.
Our Criteria:
1. Current level of ability
2. Accomplishments over the last 3 years

British Scene: Top 15 P4P

Dave Oakes updates The Boxing Bulletin's British Scene P4P list. Make sure to check back tomorrow for our overall top 25 P4P list.
Let's get to the rankings...
1. David Haye
Haye has being resting and enjoying family life after becoming a father for the first time earlier this summer. November looks the most likely month for his return to the ring - unfortunately it’ll probably be against Audley Harrison.
2. Carl Froch
The Nottingham man faces Arthur Abraham on October 2 in another fantastic match-up. He lost his unbeaten record last time out, when Mikkel Kessler out-pointed him, but remains ahead of Amir Khan due to him facing far superior opposition than that of the Bolton light-welter.

By Lee Payton
Over 3 months have past since we did our last P4P update, and plenty has happened since then. As mentioned last time, our criteria is a little different from most P4P lists, as we consider where a fighter is right now in terms of ability to be as important as their past accomplishments.
Our criteria:
1.Current level of ability
2.Accomplishments over the past 3 years.
The rankings are based on a combined voting effort by The Boxing Bulletin writers, and not just my opinion, and you'll notice I don't agree with the consensus on a few occasions. I'm sure you won't either as these lists are made for arguing, so feel free to disagree in the comments.
Let's get to it...

#10 Lucian Bute
Record 2007-2009: 7-0 (4 KO)
Previous Result: KO4 over Librado Andrade
Up next: TBA
Take that Super-Six! Having been passed for Showtime's 168 pound tournament, Lucian Bute sent a powerful message to the world's best super-middleweights, with a crushing 4th round knockout of the previously indestructible Librado Andrade. Bute might not be part of the tournament, but until the eventual winner faces the Montreal based southpaw, he'll have a hard time convincing anyone he's the division's true #1.
HBO is reported to be interested in bringing Bute back in April, but with most of the division's top talent wrapped up in the tournament, there aren't too many options in terms of strong opponents at 168. Names like Bernard Hopkins and Kelly Pavlik have been mentioned, but perhaps the winner of next month's bout between Robert Stieglitz and Edison Miranda is more realistic.
