i wouldn't worry too much about bob sapp. no one today talks much about patrick smith who was probably the least worthy #1 ranked fighter.

93/04/30 Branko Cikatic [CRO] K-1 Grand Prix 1993 Tournament Champion
94/03/04 Andy Hug [SUI] defeated Branko Cikatic [CRO] by DEC-5
94/04/30 Patrick Smith [USA] defeated Andy Hug [SUI] by KO-1
94/09/18 Andy Hug [SUI] defeated Patrick Smith [USA] by KO-1
94/10/02 Andy Hug [SUI] defeated Jeff Roufus [USA] by KO-2
94/12/10 Andy Hug [SUI] defeated Rob Van Esdonk [NED] by KO-4
95/03/03 Mike Bernardo [RSA] defeated Andy Hug [SUI] by TKO-3
etc.




I think it is safe to say, that making a top 10 list is more or less impossible, because all the top 10 fighters can on the day beat each other, as most of them also have done serial times in there career.

in the real world, fighters' abilities would form a pyramid shape, i believe. the base would be very wide and the top narrow but still inconclusive. for me to take the names and put them in a straight line is a little unnatural. still, the human mind likes rank order so that is what the list does. the only way i can compromise is to allow the full volatility. that means allowing smith and sapp to become champs.


anyway oliver,
you know i have pools throughout the year. that is where my opinion gets satisfied. i don't win as much as others so if my list were subjective, what would people think? maybe glen is the best man for the subjective list.

my list has had a lot a criticism but one thing that is really interesting is that the comments i get from fighters are extremely positive.

bernardo looked very good against nak. he may be back to the level he was at the beginning of 2001 when he fought lebanner. if he fought hunt or sefo tomorrow, i'd bet on him. no shame in having him on your top 10.
