**** Kirk's ESB Championships 2011 ****

Interesting idea :think However, as others have pointed out, it would simply increase cherry picking, trust me. I do kinda like the idea of it though.... retiring and starting over and whatnot. maybe I could find another way to implement the whole retirment and restart thing, idk.... Ill have to think on it.

As for how the records get weighed.... I have found this way to be the fairest, because lets use your example of

24-0

vs

36-10

While ya, one has 10 more losses, he has also picked on 22 more fights then the undefeated guy. So hes picked 22 more fights, and registered 12 more wins then the person thats undefeated.

The more fights you pick on, the more you are going to lose, its just that simple. Robberies, genuine upsets, or simply wrong analysis of a fight, makes it so that the people who pick more fights have more losses.... I dont want to reward those (like myself, I know I have a lot of losses now but early on in the years Im usually undefeated for quite awhile because I only pick on mainstream fights) Im not going to rank myself higher then someone else who has picked over 20 fights more then me, and while has more losses then I do, also has more wins then they do losses over me because they have picked more fights (in this case, if I was 24-0, he would have 10 more losses then me, but he would have 12 more wins, making him above me by the difference... 2.

Ugh, kinda made that a bit complicated but... for the most part Ive come to prefer the way the rankings are.

I do understand how it looks 'off' though having someone with 50 losses and whatnot ahead of you, but when taking into account that theyve picked on close to 200 more fights total, it makes sense.

I do understand what youre saying though

Thanks for the ideas Beastside.... :good

 

Nah man I hear you, I know where you're coming from... but the rankings will most likely stay how they are.


all I can say is that next year, for people that don't pick as many fights there will be

Peoples championship
Pound for pound title
Head to head records
Tournaments

 

But for the main title, I just don't see another way id like to have it and still remain somewhat balanced n fair. So its gonna stay the same. I do like that idea of things like undefeated streaks being rewarded and ill probably find a way to implement that into the p4p rankings or earning money.

 

Never seen before, thanks for sharing :good

 

:bbb:deal

 

Alright, gonna do the update, BigBone Ill try to find the difference :good It probably is that pick you quoted.

 

You are right Axe thanks.

 

Ill look into this BadB, thanks.
