    Forgive me for not remembering, but we're you with or against me?

    I see the argument as a waste of time and energy. They main guys claiming the past greats could compete will not budge regardless of what you tell them. They will bring out their arguments, some of which are totally irrelevent to my points.

    The great Magnum means that are you on our side with the classic vs. modern arguement or on the classic side.

    Please tell the Great Magnum I am on his side, always!

    I believe is that comparisons between fighters from different eras make little sense...because modern fighters benefit from inumerable advantages over ancient ones and because the sport, expectations and value-sets were different then...

    We only compare them in head to head matchups. Which we realize are not fair. We argue against people who believe fighters from roughly the 1970's and before could compete and defeat many greats from later eras.

    Definitely, anybody in the top 5 has a shot at winning this years, but everyone in the top 10 should be very happy to have competed with some of the best fight pickers on the site and to have scored so highly.

    5-30 points difference after 13 weeks is really not that much a difference.

    Huki with his 20 point lead on me may be too much of a margin to get past with only 4 weeks left as he and I see the fight game almost the same and make very similiar picks.:lol:
