And the rankings are just as simple as "bet you $20 he wins" - let me know which one of these guys is am automtic loser to the guy above and i will re-write my list.

Strem - Fotiu is a NY legend. My first experience with HF. I may be wrong but I may be right.

All the best.

Hey leaf, we all have our own criteria. It's nice to see the way people rank fighters. sometimes you can see things from a different angle and you can learn from them.

I've never been a fan of the "fighter a can beat fighter b so he ranks higher' style of ranking fighters, myself. too many different styles of fighters with too many different kinds of matchups. who can say that wilson wouldn't have his hands full with John Kordic? Does that mean Kordic should rank higher than big behn? Of course not. So it's hard for me to go along with that. i try to base my rankings on their accomplishments as fighters. who they beat, how long were they in their prime, were they among the game's best fighters during their careers? were they the best or champ at any time? did they have long stretches of greatness or were they short term greats? was their era better/more competitive than another? things like this. other intangibles come into play like what was their strength of opposition, how successful they were as well as physical/mental strengths and technique.

I try not to get caught up in picking apart lists because many will not agree with mine or the different factors i use.

you're right about fotiu though. he is a legend.
