As I have simply said- this is Roufus's chance to prove himself as a top-rated fighter.

As far the middleweight and heavyweight thing. A pro boxing example. De La Hoya would never get into a ring with a heavyweight, but does that mean Lennox Lewis is a better boxer than De La Hoya- based strictly on the fact the Lewis is the heavyweight. That is the whole idea of having weight classes. I'm not sure what you are getting at there- aside from you believing that all heavyweights should be consider better than any other fighters at the lesser weights.

Your K-1 rankings.
1) Mirko- I agree with you.
2) Sefo- no problem there.
3) Parris- maybe a touch high, but no real arguement there.
4) Hoost- I agree he is still TOP 5 without a doubt.
5) Schilt- you could be right that he is TOP 5.
6) Sapp- still unsure of how good he is under k-1 rules against the elite fighters.
7) LeBanner- no problem there.
8) Filho- no problem there.
9) Bernardo- no problem there.
10) Hunt- no problem there.

But then with all those fighters you have listed, you rank Gary Goodridge #14. How is Goodridge better than all those guys listed behind him? Fighting Musashi to a dead-even draw makes him TOP 15?

You say Roufus is inactive, then rank Quinton Jackson #22. Based on what? Potential? How many kickboxing matches has Jackson done???
