My boy Calderon ain't even in The Rings top 10.

Maybe we put it to a vote to see what members think of the idea, but at this point I'd have to vote against it.


I also see what Spicoli is saying about having to many threads, I have tried to just keep the threads to that weeks results so as not to get to far ahead of ourselves.

We could try putting all the votes for the week in one thread with multiple choices, with members just posting in the thread for any additions for the mods to add so they can vote on them too, but you can only have so many options on the polls. Maybe a couple of threads for the week with multiple selections?

I'm not very good at this computer stuff so I'm not really sure what we can & cannot do, if we could have a thread a week with multiple polls it would be perfect...
I propose using our own Pound For Pound rankings, which I think are in all honesty better than the Ring's at the moment. I'm also not saying that it definitely mean someone jumps 1-2 places, only that it gives another option after a fight. For example, it offers us Agbeko going up to 3rd, which I would personally vote against. But that's my point, it gives us the options to vote on an issue a bit more.
Well put up a poll Ace & see what the members think, with our p4p though you don't know how accurate it is either as there could be users with multiple accounts or as you said voting on popularity. I remember seeing VD having Pacquiao way down the 1st time around (5th I think).

I'm just saying there's to much room for abuse. I do sorta like the idea as I agree beating an elite guy should be worth more & it maybe a good idea to have the option (members can over rule it with a vote if they disagree) but p4p is purely mythical & our divisional ratings should be based on whats done at that weight against fighters who have achievements at that weight. Floyd was criticized for fighting the smaller Hatton (who was p4p by The Ring entering), & now again for fighting Marquez
