I'd like to raise again the issue of the 1 year wait after a fighter moves up. I think when a fighter has made a high-profile commitment to moving up, we should free up space. The obvious example for me right now is Nonito Donaire, who has said he will simply not be going back to Flyweight as he was sauna suiting to make the weight for the Martinez fight. In instances like this, I really think its best we free up the space for fighters fighting in that division.

For example Urbano Antillon was ranked in the Super-Featherweight rankings long after it was clear he would not be coming back. I understand he didn't make any clear commitment to fighting at 135, but when a fighter has (e.g. Donaire, Abraham) then we should take that as them risking their spot, particularly once they've fought in that division.

Thoughts?
