    Who would you rank higher (and why)

    Boone Kirkman

    or

    Vinny Maddalone (Assuming he retired yesterday)

    I find them interesting and statistically rather close in several raw numbers and I was surprised that I held one in much higher esteem than the other.

    What do you think gentlemen?
    And thanks for your opinions!

    I would rather not answer this as I sit with Vinny at the Ring 8 Board meetings.

    Then you, sir, have a rare honor to share time with an old school warrior in this modern age.

    I salute you both!

    Boone Kirkman has the better record.
    By that, I mean he has wins over a couple of names, and perhaps a few lesser known journeymen. Machen was at the end of the road, though, and the Ellis win was hotly disputed.

    Maddalone probably as good as a Ron Stander.
