    I'm not even that worried about people not agreeing on rankings because for the most part, everyone will agree that the Cosme Riveras and Brian Nielsens of the world have no place in the Top 10.

    The thing I worry about with writers though are the weight classes with less press covering them. Example, sure you might be able to choose the best flyweight, but what about #4 flyweight? Who would that be? **** if I know. Seriously, without looking, can anybody name more than 2-3 current flyweights?

    Still, I'll watch for it. It'd be cool as hell to see something like the AP college poll for boxing.

      Well I'd hope that most boxers wouldn't accept any sort of league those goons would set up. It'd be so full of corruption so quickly that people wouldn't recognize it as legit. King's track record, even if he did try making it 100 percent legit, would cause nobody, including myself, to buy it.

      Oh it isn't "ironic" that you did your paper on the same thing. It is coincidental. Ironic is like the opposite, sort of. Sorry I'm in word mode.

          I disagree with only reading to make ratings judgements though. I think anybody ranking someone should have at least seen one fight with that person they're ranking.

            I agree fullly on it, but one thing I disagree with Rockin....Boxing never really was viewed with credibility despite its larger popularity, but nonetheless I agree.

            Then lets bring credibitlity to the sport for the first time, it would do nothing but to help it thrive....Rockin'

              i totally agree but thats nigh on impossible so reading about it is the next best thing.
              I dont have access to alot of the japanese or koreans or thais in the lighter weights, and dont forget its not just aobut ranking the top ten there is 40 plus fioghters listed to choose form in each division. Its not feasibly possible to view them all.

                Rockin-I agree but it is one hell of a task to keep corruption out of it, whether you have honest people in the organization or not their are still bookies and I have no doubts the fix would be in on that end.....

                Just curious out of everyone in boxing who would you appoint and trust running an organization like this?

                Please nobody say Oscar.

                  Non other than the most honorable, honest and dignified person I know. Me! Jus' kidding, although I must humbley say that I am all of those great qualities, been learning from masterdirector. It would have to be somebody with the knowledge of the sport from the inside. Not some government appointed knuckle head that knows accounting but nothing about boxing. It would be hard to say right now who I would like to run it. So for the time being, so that the position does not stand unattended, I will again say ME! .........Rockin'
