    Exactly WHY is the Ring the "highest authority"? What standards do they use that are so much better than any of the others? Or is it simply that we agree with them more?

    Just for this forum. I don't care about if other sites use them - but of course they are entitled to do so.

    Btw I don't hope you are refering to us as internet junkies, while removing yourself from that equation.

    Fine, so they are better and less biased analysts...but HOW is it that they compare fighters p4p? What criteria do they use once they have analysed individual fighters?:think

    Of course he is - he keeps his 10 posts a day in check(which is 2 more than I).

    Ranking fighters in each weightclass is not too hard, I agree...but ranking p4p is...for many reasons, some of which have already been mentioned in this thread.:yep

    Since you are fine with the current system, feel free to use Ring magazines or the like. We find it broken, biased and incomplete.

    Decebal, what did you think of this: "My suggestion is that we look how complete a boxer is, coupled with whom he has met since the last update."

    Maybe it should more specified than Offensive/Defensive skills, then compile a total point for this fighter, coupled with points for last five fights(which are compiled from same system).

    Only problem with that is "coupled with whom he has met since the last update" - if you start off with bad/biased rankings, it will take a long time for the over/underestimation to fade away even if you decide to judge stuff fairly. That is why I think we should start from scratch and not use any already made up ranking, whether deemed good or bad - we should decide the criteria first and then modify it after we see how what it comes up with compares to our gut instinct until we reach a happy equilibrium - then we will know we have it right!

    You are contradicting yourself. First you say they often tend too high rank due hype, and then you say they are well schooled; well schooled guys don't believe in hype, they believe in what they see.:cool:
