    I'm not sure what you're asking.

    You'd vote:

    1) Mayweather (100)
    2) Cotto (90)
    (down through your top 10)

    That's assuming we'd use a 100-point system, which definitely is up for debate.

    Lampley- I was under the impression that we could set up a way for the whole community to vote. If you only choose a few that will hardly represent what the community feels as a whole. Perhaps we could sticky a poll for the top boxers in each weight class and P4P and let everyone vote so we get the ESB results as a whole community.

    Not to sound like a cry baby, but I know I wouldn't be chosen as a voter as well as a lot of others, and I think for an accurate view of ESB's rankings all members should get to vote.

    I propose this:

    We separate the top 20 posters as voted for in the ESB TOP ANALYST competition into two groups.

    Everyone is allowed to vote once for each group for the poster they most want blackballed. The top 5 in each group are eliminated. We are left with 10...THE ESB TEN!

    These decide amongst themselves who the top 10 contenders in each weight category and p4p are. This can be done by them voting for fighters to be either removed from the list of top 10 or added to it.

    Then, the rest of us can decide exactly what order the 10 on the list should go...

    How about that?

    I tend to agree with this:yep

    The question that arises in my mind is, can the mods track multiple ID's?? Someone could make multiple accounts/votes which in certain cases could skew the vote.

    I'm all for one man/woman, one voice......even BITCHTIME:lol:

    Now tell me I'm biased!!!!:rofl :rofl

    I think they should be reflective of the overall board opinion:good

    Not knocking you're proposal, but a sub-group doesnt represent ESB.

    I hear what you're saying, but for it to really work, we'd all have to be patient.

    The problem is that all registered voters would include all the haters and fanboys, plus their 15 aliases, and at the end of the day, you'd have created an ESPN poll.

    Everyone could contribute in the sense that we all have direct access to the voters -- "Hey XXX, you need watch this Youtube, just so you can see how good my boy is" -- then hopefully establish crediblity on the site to be added to he voting committee.

    Mainly, it would give ESB a chance to site its own rankings for a change, and a set that's much more objective and representative in terms of geography than The Ring or any other source of rankings.

    Yes, but not all biased in the same areas. If we all had our own individual votes, bias or not, we could see as a whole how ESB members as a whole rank the top fighters. I love that idea, but am against having 20 or so of us to come up with rankings that should stand for the ESB members as a whole.

    I like the idea of

    1st (100)
    2nd (90)
    3rd (80)
    4th (70)
    ....

    That will compare the closest or how far a part the fighters are like the college football poll.

    Also, if it's done by a select commitee, it's guranteed that a whole lot of us will still ***** about something or another when it's done. If we can figure out a fair way for each man/woman to vote for themselves then the results will speak for themselves and should be nothing to ***** about.

    How many people on ESB actually have enough knowledge to come up with a full set of rankings?

    I like the idea, I dislike the sub-group. ESB is comprised of us all, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    If some sub group was necessary?? The number of voters should be increased, to broaden the spectrum at least somewhat.

    So how would you propose choosing who is on the committee? Another vote, especially to decide who should be on the committee? I could live with that, no problem!:good

    That I agree with. Not 10 or 20, but something like 40-50 if we do a sub group.

    Ok...I am confused...what is this "sub group"? Is it the committee that decides who the top ten contenders are, before we all vote what order they shoudl come in?
