    Yes. And Woods should be the first fighter to drop under that rule. I have a problem with him being ranked over Roy Jones.

    Have thought since day one that there should...in certain circumstances... no limits on dropping...yes the Sam Peter situation.After his 2nd straight loss then and his attitude,sad condition and lack of effort,he merited zero top ten ranking to me....though I'm not in favor of this being done only to preserve other fighters IMO for mostly name sake. Split on this honestly....why only 6-10?Sort of sets a sub catagory of top 10 within top 10?

    8,9 & 10 can already move to the pool with the 1-3 options, imo to drop a top 5 guy all the way to the pool would disregard any achievement that fighter had accomplished to get into that position in the 1st place

    Most of us are pretty fair & having the rule does not necessarily mean we vote someone to the pool every time, just when the majority sees fit
