Lom - in my opinion one of the better lists so far

Damn..dumb? Thats kinda harsh.

I have my reasons for leaving Florian out of my list.

He's got a 6-3 record with all three losses coming against top competition.

If its dumb for me to wait to see him beat some tested fighters rather than rank him based purely on speculation, I guess that makes me dumb.

Dumb is kind of harsh...I'd go with moronic.

Is that even a word?

Thanks. I would have put Sherk #1 at LW if he was cleared but since his case is pending, I held him off.

Also, the LW and WW divisions are almost impossible to rank. So many guys that could fall into the 3-7 range. And I would have put Swick higher, but I want to see him at 170 before I put him ahead of some of the proven guys at that weight.

Wow..... Seems odd that I would disagree with my own rankings so badly, not sure how Roger and Kenny ended up so high.
