I based my on fighters on the World-Class level who have been active over the past 2 years (to 3 years).

With a guy like Errol Paris- his over-all record is good, but is 4-1-1 since 2002. His only name win in that time was over Bonjasky, and he was defeated by Majer. Parris has had only one k-1 fight this year, and it was a no contest.

I have Ignashov at #1 because he is 9-1 over the last couple of years with 5 kos. Only defeat was a decision to Leko. Win over Aerts, Bergy, Abidi, Nortje, and Bernardo. He is 2003 finalists, and is probably the favorite right now to win the World title. And then if you look at his over-all career, his few defeats have come by decisions in 3 round fights. And he even has a win over Rob Kaman.

With Mirko, maybe he is too high. 4-0 since 2002, 3kos. Wins over Sapp, Bonjasky, and Hunt. If he continues to remain inactive as kickboxer, he shouldn't be #1 or #2. What he does in mma fighting should have no impact on his standing in kickboxing rankings.

Hoost can not be any lower that #3. He is the 2002 K-1 World champ. Yes he was beaten twice by Sapp. But is 8-2 since 2002 with 6 kos. Wins over Leko, Sefo, LeBaner, Holm, and Abidi.

LeBanner, Leko, Hunt, and Sefo. Can all be argued for where they belong in the next spots. LeBanner is 8-1 7 kos last couple of years with the only loss to Hoost by ko. So he can't be higher than Hoost, and he has twice beaten Hunt in that time frame. Leko is a 2003 finalist. Has wins over Bonjasky, Ignashov, Aerts, Bernardo, and Filho over the last few years. Hunt is only 4-3 since 2002. With the defeats being to LeBanner (twice) and once to Mirko. But has beaten Leko. Sefo is a 2003 Finalist, 8-1 in recent years with name wins over Bernardo, Yvel, Aerts, and Williams. I believe the one loss was to Hoost. So I probably could have put Sefo ahead of Hunt.
