Your rankings are realistic

HW 1.Fedor
2.Brock

MW 1.Anderson
2.Shields

WW 1.GSP
2.Shields

LW 1.Melendez
2.Edgar

gracie - Your rankings are realistic


P.S. I do know it's Brett, but I think he'd be more well received if he changed his name to Doc Rogers rather than Brett Rogers. I will refer to him as Doc Rogers from now on regardless. Many thanks for your kind words!

Frank Mir has yet to face Junior and Cain so I'd still put him at 4, but list looks good anyway.

what stands out most is that Hardy is ranked too high on your list.

"9. Tom Lawlor"
I like Lawlor as much as anyone on this forum, but lol at this

The only thing wrong is you have 12 fighters in the lightheavyweight top 10. The 2 guys tied at # 9 would take up spots 9 and 10

edit- also wrong is Lawlor being on this list and Shields at WW his last fight at WW was Oct. 2008.

Other than that not a bad list

booo

Good Rankings.

Bukake Mura - what stands out most is that Hardy is ranked too high on your list.


Correct. He got a shot at GSP because there was no one left. That doesn't move him into the top 10.



Chango

Not bad lists.

But a MW champ should be taken off the WW list for now.
