However, I don't think that if, for example, Marquez loses to Mayweather or Pacquiao loses to Cotto that they should drop lower in their respective divisions. I don't think Darchinyan's defeat to Agbeko means that he's no longer the best Super-Flyweight in the world. I'm not going to vote on this just yet.
Btw, I haven't been on in a week because of personal stuff so if you could point out anything I've missed that needs voting & Killer if you could let me know what you've checked for your updates so I can merge the old threads together I'd appreciate it
Nothing much has changed, all the votes for this week have closed bar this one. Hope everythings good with you mate.
I agree with what your saying about Marquez & Agbeko, but we need something to deal with cases like Diaz'. Maybe we could edit killers rule of demoting a little... if a fighter is nomiated to be demoted the options should run from his current rank to the pool e.g. Diaz is number 6 so he could drop 1-4 (ranks 7-10) spots or straight to the pool.
What about just saying if a fighter loses two fights in a row we vote to drop him to the pool, regardless of what weightclass he's ranked in? This would simplify things from what we are talking about.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
