New rule idea - Option to remove a rated fighter

[JazMerkin]

I agree, both rules: the demotion & removal after 2 loses rules should be used at a minimum

I think the demotion idea is a good one. Guys keeping spots by beating weak opposition should get demoted over guys beating better opposition. Guys like Collazo & Bika should have to beat decent opposition to hold their spots, not lose to good opposition & then beat journeymen in the interim between those fights. Don't know about the 2 losses thing, it sounds good, but someone could easily lose 2 close fights in a row (let's say Cotto faces Pac twice & loses contentious decisions each time) & then being dropped to the pool because of that would be wrong IMO. I think it should always be put to the vote rather than be automatic.

I think you misunderstood mate when a fight loses twice in a row it triggers a vote, not automatic poolage (new word I guess)

Ah ok, if that's the case then I definitely support it. In a case like Diaz I support it, but let's say Joshua Clottey loses a close fight to Shane Mosley next time out, I wouldn't.
