I definitely agree with this, with the proviso being only that it be for a fighter beating another ranked fighter as Valero has just done. Although I can still see an argument for Katsidis being ahead of Valero, even if I don't agree with it. I can't see one for Reyes, who's done nothing since that fight with Diaz.

I would be in favour of it being for possibly going up 2 spots, although I can see that being a problem. But I think a problem is that someone like Kendall Holt shouldn't be our #2 at 140, when he's done little in the last year, however a year is a long time in boxing & should he beat Kaizer Mabuza (22-6-3) he'll hold his spot and to me that wouldn't be fair to, for example, the Urango-Alexander winner who will have more noteworthy results in recent times.

This is a good idea holmes
It should only b 1 spot
& by beatng a rankd fightr
Fight for your spot still remains intact
But better performances against rankd guys should b rewarded

Absolutely a great call.Dont know how we let it slip by all this time frankly.Good insight Greg.Always easy to give the conquered the scrutiny but even more so why should the victor of a ranked vs ranked remain idle....but is it a certainty that it will only one spot advanced?Regardless of fashion and foe defeated?

In an odd way it emphasis's (not to go all rainbows and puppy dogs on ya) a positive voting procedure as opposed to all of the demotions.Keeps the top tier moving and rewards.

Maybe we should require a certain amount of votes to approve it.As well...I think the manager of division should be allowed a bigger vote in matter.

Maybe we should require that the defeated have been ranked a certain length of time for it to be allowed?As to not 'encourage' voting pool members in last minute just prior to a fight.Cynical I know

What do you think about a manager being able to blackball it with a single vote. For example if the vote happened in the super feather division and Cleon didn't think it merited it, it would junk the whole vote, otherwise majority rules.

Also I hear what you are saying about future unintended consequences, and I agree we need a safeguard there as well. Perhaps the safeguard is as follows: "A pool member with a scheduled fight against a ranked member cannot enter the ranks on a vote until after the fight" That would pretty much eliminate that potential problem. This makes sense anyway because if he beats the ranked member he takes his spot.

This is a good rule, I think 2 spots should be the most for an outstanding victory, 1 for a win. Majority vote should decide imo...

I'm good with pool members not entering if they are set to meet a ranked fighter

Good stuff Greg, keep the top ideas coming

[Violent Demise]

Sounds good to me. I'm for it
