    I'm not disregarding it! D hold's a win over my number 5 and my number 2. C holds a win over my number 5 and my number 1! Again, this is very simple in my opinion.

    "So in my opinion it is very hard to argue the fact that D should be second to last.

    So we are left with
    1. A
    2.
    3.
    4. D
    5. E"

    What is gibberish?! Why don't you point out a specific flaw so I can confirm my contention.

    I have never stated D was above B.

    As you will find earlier, I had the same as Decebal.

    A, B, D, C, E.

    ............Second to last is fourth in this case.

    You're wrong. He has B rated as #2 and D as #3.

    I apologize I meant C in the instances where I stated B. I corrected it now.

    Read above, I meant to put C in place of B. In context you can clearly see that.

    You arbitrarily choose the number of points you want to give for a win over a certain fighter...

    You disregard that B would actually beat C head to head...

    You make an arbitrary assumption about which wins are more important...

    ...after having contradicted yourself...and you STILL hope to come to a logical conclusion...tough ask!

    You should also regard the loses. C lost to those of lesser rank. You can't just look at one side of the facts.

    No in context I can see that you placed the wrong letter in the wrong place and it messed up your argument.

    Either way, NO ONE here can answer this question definitively. They can using their OWN ratings and values. You value certain things, others value different things.

    Some value Head to Head wins over another fighter more than others, especially when other things are relatively equal.
