Criteria
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and it’s my list, so I went with the fighters I like. The main things I considered were:
- previous accomplishments
- eye test
- the confidence I have in the fighter beating the fighters in their current division.
With that being said, here is my updated Pound for Pound list, and I look forward to the feedback, both positive and negative.
