How should rank fighters 1-10 once we have a rough list of who belongs in it?

I will limit mysellf to the following thought, for now; please add your own...

Let us assume that you roughly know which fghters are in the Top 10 at present, and it's just a matter of ranking them 1-10.

I believe that even if say fighter C would beat fighter D, if D would do better against the top couple of fighters than C, especially against the Champion and number one contender, A and B, D should be ranked before C...because on average, he is better, even if he were to lose a head-to-head against C.

Thus, the order should be:

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. C
5. E

etc....




and not:

1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
5. E

...just because A would beat B, B would beat C, C would beat D, D would beat E, etc...

Of course, if C actually ended up beating D, then C should of course be in front of D in the rankings...


What do you think?

 

:think

 

I have added a poll, so that you don't have to bother typing...:good

 

:-(

 

So...

1. if D did indeed beat A and B, and C beat D but lost to A and B, what would be the order for the four of them, assuming A would beat B?

2. How would you rank A, B, C and D if:

A could beat B and D, but not C
B could beat C and D, but not A
C could beat A, but not B and D
D would beat C but not A or B?
