Anonymous said...: Not sure how Bellew can be so high..or even in the top 10; 3 November 2011 23:33
Anonymous said...: Surely Rob turley who has had to fight his way up the rankings and just won the Celtic Title by totally destroying Gavin Reid. Also took Frampton all the way with just eleven days training. If he had the correct notice he would be capable of beating anyone.; 27 March 2012 00:14
Anonymous said...: I agree totally why hasnt he been recognised as Celtic Champion in the ratings, It still shows frampton as Commonwealth , and Celtic Champion when Robbie Turley beat Gavin Reid so convincingly with a great stoppage victory to claim this Title??; 20 April 2012 00:29
