I personally feel that if Mayweather beats Marquez at the least he should be ranked ahead of Judah & maybe the winner of Rodriguez/Hlatshwayo.

I also feel him & Pacquiao being higher is more likely to bring us a champ as they're the only 2 people wanna fight.

Maybe we introduce the Pound For Pound list in somewhere, where beating a guy voted in the Top 10 outside of his weightclass is worth a little extra or something.

Another thing, is maybe a guy who hasn't registered a win in 12months+ can be overtaken by the fighter directly below him. 2 years without win & being dropped is fair, but if its one of those guys who never bothers to fight than it will be difficult bringing in new blood.

Good idea for a thread Galaxy
I see what your saying & I kinda agree but as I said on another thread it should be based on what they have done at that weight. Mayweather has been out for nearly 2 years & Marquez has never fought there before so there achievements at that weight are arguably less.

With killers new rule where we could vote fighters down a spot we can combat guys taking the easy road by demoting them a spot.

I sort of like your idea of beating a p4p fighter being worth more but it could get a little sketchy. We recently had Agbeko defeat Darchinyan, does that then mean Agbeko should advance further at 118 by beating a man who had never fought at that weight before? Even though he was a p4p ranked fighter?

Maybe if you beat a p4p guy you advance 2 spots, e.g. Mayweather defeats Marquez so he would enter at 9th.

I'm not to fussed about those 2 being higher because I feel for a champ to be crowed at 147 they have to go through Mosley!

As to your second point I think that's what killer is aiming for by being able to demote fighters once per month, if that fighter is ranked 10th we could vote to drop him to the pool? Freeing up a vacancy for new blood...
How about this, fighters in the Pound For Pound list ranked from #1-5 are worth a maximum 2 place jump on a vote, whilst 6-10 are a max 1 place jump.

So Agbeko beating Darchinyan means we create a vote where we have the option of keeping him where he is or taking 3rd from Yonnhy Perez?

Should Mayweather beat Marquez, rather than just take the vacant 10th spot, he could come in at 8th, hence a jump of 2 places.

I agree anyone has to go through Mosley, but particularly that division, we have our best chance of crowning a champ if PBF & Pac are higher as only they & Berto are fighters who Mosley seems interested in fighting.
