I think we need to fill out some pools a bit more. I nominate Alvarez here, because I think he's shown good rise in opposition & will step up class quicker than a lot of the other guys here due to his activity levels.

Guys like Kirpa & Aydin are plagued by long bouts of inactivity between fights, so I feel it's our best shots at keeping the pool moving.

Aydin's fought 3 times this year so I'm not to worried about him, I'd like to know who initially voted for Kirpa?

Another guy who could be considered is Vyacheslav Senchenko

Yeah, it just seems that since Aydin beat Bonsu he's been happy to sit & wait around for a titlist to come to him. I agree on Senchenko. I might put it up for a vote later

Saul Alvarez enters the pool by a vote of 6 - 0

I want to use my manager vote this month to demote Judah one place, the may be voided depending on how PAC/Cotto plays out, but I would like to make the point none-the-less.

[JazMerkin]

Can I use my manager vote to drop him another spot??

Seriously though, I said this before, we should either be able to put up options to drop guys like 2-3 spots or we shouldn't be restricted to the start of the month. I really do think there should be some kind of change in that.

No boubt about it.Judah down a slot,shower door fills vacancy

[Violent Demise]

To many demotions for no reason

[Galaxy]

To many demotions for no reason

Judah's demotion is for many reasons:

He has been out for almost a year
Has been fighting journeyman
The 2 times he stepped up in his last 5 fights he lost

[JazMerkin]

I would just like to say this has nothing to do with Zab Judah holding his spot in our rankings fighting bin men & falafel salesmen... aww who am I kidding?

I simply can't see him being that high up, but as this result will come in after the result of demoting him, they are technically separate.

But, I also feel that Mayweather should be higher in our rankings, especially when considering that some guys in there have either not won at the weight in years or are being ranked off past glories. So yes, I'm proposing that Mayweather jumps up a spot to 8th & whoever is in that position when this vote ends drops down to 9th.

[JazMerkin]

Haha, I may finally have dealt with Zab & his painful lack of opposition

[Galaxy]

Zab Judah is demoted a spot by a vote of 5 - 1

[Galaxy]

The vote for the 8th rated fighter to be demoted below Floyd Mayweather passes. Zab Judah who was originally demoted to 8th falls to 9th by a vote of 1 - 0

[Nameless]

I think that unfortunately, he should *sigh*....

[Galaxy]

Who should fill the vacant 10th spot at Welter?

The winner of Delvin Rodriguez (currently in the pool)/ Rafal Jackiewics on Nov 27
Delvin Rodriguez
Rafal Jackiewicz

The winner of Jesus Soto Karass (currently in the pool)/ Alfonso Gomez on Nov 14
Jesus Soto Karass

Selcuk Aydin (currently in the pool)

I'm going with the Rodriguez/ Jackiewics winner, Rodriguez went down to the wire twice with Hlatswayo & Javkiewics defeated Bonsu before Aydin did
