    I dunno.......there's enough meat in there (not in Cruiser obviously) that most should be able to take a stab at it.

    That gives you points for your system as well as plenty to debate.

    Up to you mate :good

    I will change the thread and ask people to post there Cruiser & Light Heavy lists and see what happens.

    try holding of on the other divisions until we get somewhere with them.

    Is this purely based on record alone, if so, then yeah...

    If it's based on actual skill and ability then the lists would look very different.

    You have to rank surely on a mixture of ability and resume but i would say overall resume trumps ability. What you have proven to be capable of is a better indicator than what you might be IF

    Right lets get the middle's going before we end up at welter

    Monzon or Hagler? What was the conclusion of the choi debate on this subject?
