I think we should have an mmajunkie fighter top 10 ranking system. Its bad enough when we get into a debate over rankings that we have to quote mmaweekly or sh*rdog, but -P does a good job handicapping fights....i'd feel confident using the junkie rankings against any other sites.
-P, just once per month set aside 30 minutes and rank the top 10 from LW-HW. Please, Thanks!

30 minutes...
.... that would be a quality 6 minutes per weight class and that is without including the typing up of the thread which would probably take at least 10 minutes... for a handicapper(fightwise) like -P, i'm going to assume it would take him slightly longer than 30 minutes to create a rankings list.
then again, -P is like Batman, he could probably just pull the perfect rankings out of the shadows without even breaking a sweat while beating down some villainous crook who's trying to rob an old lady.

I know they have at least explored rankings in the past.
The challenge is getting something that you can put out and get behind.
Thats a challenge.
Here is one of my thoughts on it.
Example- GG, P, John Morgan, and Stan Dupp each input their rankings.
Lets say one of them ranking 1 person significantly higher then the others and that results in a higher ranking for that fighter.
Well once adjusted that means they are putting mmajunkie's name on something they dont fully agree with soemtimes.
Its my opinion that in order for a proper ranking system to work with just people giving the input you need around 8 to 10 people and you should throw out the high ranking and the low ranking.
This eliminates outliers and provides a better rankings overall in my mind.
That being said who is to say Dann, P, GG, and john Morgan even agree on rankings. If they have different criteria's then that makes it exponientially more difficult.
Trust me, that happens and then it becomes hard for them to defend their rankings at time without throwing their collugues under the bus.

I think the initial rankings may take the longest. But after that he can look at any movement in the last 30 days.
Did fighter X win? If so, was i decisive enough to move him up? Etc, etc.
I just think there is soo much speculation by members (which is fine), but if we had an official junkie top 10 in each class it would nice to see how our individual rankings stack up to theirs.
No one is ever goin to agree on all of them, but its more credible if its an in house ranking
