Fighters in recent years are ever more frequently introduced using the metric system when their stats are cited by ring announcers. In view of this, should the list of great ones be changed from "Pound for Pound" to "Kilo for Kilo". To me, the latter just doesn't sound as good as the former.

If I may make a suggestion: if a change has to me made, (though, I'm not saying a change has to be made) why not use the British measurement? Let's go "Stone for Stone"! Sounds more awesome!

how about ""Gram for Gram"...doesn't sound good to me...just the first one that came to my mind.

i think kilo to kilo, or even better K2K sounds a lot better...........because the brits think a pound is their currency.

For some reason it sounds like a drug deal or drug barter.

Lets measure their height by Furlongs!
