don't bring me down, bro.....First thing that came to my mind too, but that just shows how old I am.
I wouldnt se why not? HW (except Stipe), LHW and all female weight classes are automatically off the list because of lack of competition (and PED cheats like Jones). Middleweight champ Izzy is in the top 5. Usman is dominating everyone he's faced so he's in the top 5. Khabib just retired but is in the top 5, Dustin and Gaethje have a claim on the top 5 but are not on winning streaks, Volkanovski i guess is on the shortlist for top 5 since he beat Max twice. Petr Yan is great but he has no wins over top 5 opponents so i wouldn't put him up there.I ain’t a hater but come on current top 5 pound for pound? Ehhhh
the most accurate system we could probably hope for would be if someone did a meta analysis on the rankings, basically averaging out all of the major sitesJust like MMA Matrix, and regular fan/media rankings, this can only ever be a general guide of who the best fighters are.
For a system like this to genuinely show who the best are, it'd be analysing every individual, strike, step, feint, head movement, block, parry, slip, grappling movement, etc. And no one knows enough to be able to effectively create such a system.
That would still fall under the former though. It'd still just be a general guide.the most accurate system we could probably hope for would be if someone did a meta analysis on the rankings, basically averaging out all of the major sites
