Andy Lee........Michael Katsidis anyone else feeling this?

[Kev]

You do realize that Lee fought Vera and Kats is facing The Ring Champ and one of Cubas finest fighters?
'El Cepillo' Casamayor....

Yep but if you look at the prediction comp myself, VD and Saddo aside EVERYBODY else has picked Katsidis to win.

Indeed he's the bookies favourite as well and it seems the vast majority think he will beat Casamayor tomorrow.

So the comparison is valid.

The comparison is valid on some picks made by 3 people on a website.

You have been smoking more then usual today haven't you?
1st the Rep. thing now this.....

How is it not valid? Lee was a prospect having never fought a top 10 ranked opponent. He was in his first step up fight, a fight he was expected to win.

Katsidis is a WORLD CHAMPION currently holding the WBO belt fighting an older champion who the bookies and vast majority of boxing experts and fans believe to have faded and that Katsidis will bulldoze through him.

It's the SAME thing, check the betting if you don't believe me Kats is a clear favourite, not just on here but in the boxing world.

But they and you are all WRONG, for tomorrow he will be badly exposed as a limited fighter.


As for my rep complaints, just wait in time you will come to appreciate ole Bilbo and his visionary genuis.

This new system is flawed, it doesn't reward consistency for being a member of the board over a period of time. It merely rewards good standing over a month.

Under the old system if you, Wacko or myself left the board for a month we would still have a great reputation based on our longstanding committment to the board over several years. A reputation was earned slowly.

Under the new system if you ( I mean you Mick personally here the proud owner of the site's best rep) left the board entirely for a month to go around the world, you would come back and half a dozen members would now have a better reputation on the site than you.

If you left for two months you'd probably slip outside the top 10.

So you see no longer is your reputation something meaningful reflecting your contribution to the site over many years but rather a reflection of your contribution over the past 4 weeks.

It's the equivilent of boxing experts putting Kelly Pavlik above Marvin Hagler in the All time p4p rankings based on his two wins over Jermain Taylor.

If you can't grasp this yet you will in time.
