Curly Howard

Gomi should be at least #2. I hope he subs Penn tomorrow and show that BJ's not the #1 lightweight

Only a couple things I dont agree with. Tom Erickson is not on the Super Heavy list, I dont agree with Cro-Cop being #2 in the heavyweight division, you all know the third thing I disagree with.......

These rankings are the suck, IMO.

i think nog should be #2 crocop hasn't earned that spot yet and silva being #2 is just ridiculous

By the way, Pele should not be in the top ten. He's lost something like 4 out of his last 6.

Curly Howard
10-02-2003, 11:50 PM
goof job Tanner :) I hate BJ Penn as the #1 LW but that should change after he fights Gomi.

Tanner Rhoden
10-02-2003, 11:53 PM
Yeah, I don't like ranking him there either.

What else don;t you like about my rankings?

Curly Howard
10-02-2003, 11:56 PM
The rule. You're about the only one I agree with on this.

I mostly agree. I'd put Cro-Cop at #5, and for LHW I would drop Silva and Tito to #4 and 5, and move Rampage and chuck up too #2 and 3. The rest of it looks good......

1. Fedor Emelianenko
2. Tim Sylvia

9. Dan Henderson
10. Renato Sobral

For middleweight I would also drop Sakuraba and Anderson Silva down a notch, both coming off losses, Sakuraba needs to fight middleweights and leave the heavyer strikers alone.....

Personally, I think Penn will beat Gomi......

I sure hope not......but, I've got a feeling that Kaps and Creed are right.

I have no idea why you don't like B.J Tanner

He doesn't talk ****, he always has good fights. He is like a mini Vitor Belfort

i dont think neither rampage nor liddell could beat tito. granite, randy did beat him the whole time.... but its randy ****ing couture. he owns all. liddell, rampage, tito, silva...... courture owns. aside from that... i'd say tito is #2............. it would be a toss up between rampage and liddell. rampage hasnt lost in a while, and chuck lost to courture. i dunno. i know i wouldnt put rampage and liddell above tito tho.

realkaps

Its not who you think they can beat. Tito is dropped lower because of his lack of fighting and coming off a loss. Rampage has been on a winning streak, and Chuck has recently beat a calibre fighter too, thats why they are ranked higher than Tito IMO......
