No matter what the public will not be happy....and what is stopping guys from having their team just voting voting voting? building up their guys chances? I understand your point but there are too many ways to manipulate things
It's a flawed theory no doubt, but it's an idea. I feel that to move in to the next era boxing needs some new ideas to progress.

What they need to do and I have always said this is to make sure that

1. only fighters in the top 10 receive title shots...the hell with the gimmes...too many guys out there worked to hard to be ranked just to have a guy ranked 25th get a shot while they stay in the top 10 and sometimes never getting a shot

2. Develope a points system for wins..(though this is somewhat in place)....

I guess i should have clarified that i thought that the public should have their say on opposition but only on opponents within the top ten.

As for the points system

A point system is a great way to make rankings....why should a guy be ranked and get a title shot for fighting guys not ranked in the top 40 and beating guys with records like 12-9 or 6-17...EG- Thomas Daamguard before Gatti disposed of him...and other guys are fighting the best in the division...yet they get shots for quanity of opp not quality....Recieve a certain amount of points depending on where the guy was ranked you defeated...that will decide your top 10...make it so the champion only defends against top 10 ranked opponents
