    People are 10 years too late onto the bandwagon, I think Kessler will show Calzaghe up as badly faded.

    Of course if you'd bothered to vote like you said you would, twice, it might look different to the tune of what you describe.

    It's good we got it done, but the rankings turned out pretty 'standard' after all, save for a few corrections that Ring magazine missed.

    I wish more guys would have participated to even this out...

    Oh well, maybe next month?:yep

    I know that I'm not part of the commitee, but, I'll be happy to help fill out the bottom part of the lower-weight rankings for you, if you'd like. Oh, and I'm not certain if this is the proper venue, but I might as well use this as a means for self-nomination for membership to the commitee (given the recent departure of Cross_Trainer, et al.)

    Then maybe we can look at it as something of an experiment, which proves (or attempts to prove) that the Ring is overall on track. We put their name to the test (Bible of Boxing).

    It's a thing of our own though. Something to argue about besides Ring. In an ideal world we would have some debate on the boards about the ESB rankings, where we are going wrong, who we should be considering.

    In time, we may be able to come up with something more definitive (As opposed to standard, which I don't find objectionable personally), but it would need to be a serious community effort IMO.

    You are an excellent candidate. I'll try to remember your nomination, but make sure to post again later in the month on the official self-nomination thread. Now that this thing is a reality, hopefully more people will apply and more of the current members will participate.

    I thought some of the subtle differences were a positive in ESB's favor, but perhaps I'm biased. I'm not sure what you were looking for, exactly.

    It certainly would be fun if more of our European contingent votes next month.

    Question: Can we vote for someone as champion when they weren't previously voted as champion (i.e. Calderon or Vasquez)?

    Great ranking though people. Looking forward to adding my input next month.

    No. This was the only month to do that. I think what happened is some posters just philosophically are opposed to voting on a champion, because even Pavlik received only like 66% votes as the actual champ. Calderon was one vote short, and some of those who *were* voting on champs didn't get to the little guys.

    I was hoping he and Vazquez would get the nod, but that's the way it goes. The good news is that the Vazquez situation will get settled in the next few months, at least.

    I'm happy to have you on board. Just don't do what some members did this time and wait until the last minute. It definitely takes some work.

    Thanks. Just looked back at the constitution and saw that. The unfortunate part is that there just isn't much activity with the top guys fighting each other in the 105 and 108 classes, if for no other reason because the guys are evenly split 50/50 between Asia and Latin America....
