The deadline is "officially" in 3 hours and 20 minutes. However, I'm going to allow late entries until I finish my current project, so it will stretch an extra night or two. But once I close it, it's closed. So for anyone still interested in participating who has not done so yet, I urge you to please get at it as soon as you're able.
One could literally re-write this list every day and have none of the same fights they had on it the day before.
Especially as you descend downwards, I'd think. But I think that's true for any boxing ranking experiments, even with something as subjective as this. That said, I haven't tallied any numbers just yet, but I'm extremely curious to see the final order when I do. I'm probably at least a few weeks away from producing a proper presentation. But everything is logged except for kirk and Bevan97. I'll add the first names in on Bevan when I transfer kirk's data over (as well as anyone else who may join in before then). There were a couple of instances where someone included a match that doesn't strictly adhere to the rules. As far as I can tell, none of those entries are likely to impact the Top 100. So I'm not concerned about that (and I'm certainly not going to disqualify anyone, because I do believe that the Top 100 will most likely reflect the type of fights that are available to "experience" in the sense I was gunning for in the beginning).

As I dive into this, I think a Top 100 might be a bit too ambitious, so the final product will more likely involve a Top 50 presentation.
