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
Let's get to the rankings...

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.

Well, it’s been over six months since our last British Scene P4P list and a lot has happened in that short period of time.
Three of our top 15 have retired – Jamie Moore, Clinton Woods and Bernard Dunne, David Haye won and defended the WBA heavyweight title, whilst the likes of Ryan Rhodes, Matthew Macklin, Nathan Cleverly and Paul McCloskey have moved up in the rankings after claiming European honours.

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...

We're down to the top 10 on our year end top 25 P4P countdown.
For numbers 25-11, check out the following links: 25-21, 20-16 and 15-11.
#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.

Today we move on to numbers 15 through 11 of our end of year Top 25 P4P countdown.
On Monday, we started off with numbers 25 to 21 and yesterday continued with 20 to 16. Tomorrow we'll be back with numbers 10-6.
#15 Ivan Calderon
Record 2007-2009: 6-0-1 (0 KO)
Previous Result: SD over Rodel Mayol
Up Next: Possibly Brian Viloria in March
Calderon is still one of the finest practitioners of the art of "hit and not get hit", but there are signs the classy southpaw is starting to slip. This past year he squared off twice against Rodel Mayol in bouts abbreviated due to head clashes, coming away with a draw on the first occasion, and a split decision win in the rematch. While he didn’t get tagged much over the two bouts, he didn’t look particularly sharp either.
If he’s to keep his P4P status it’s fair to say he’ll need to come up big in 2010, and it looks like he’ll have the chance as a 108 pound showdown with Brian Viloria is reportedly in the works for March.
