glad aoki is finally out of the top 10, down around 20 where he belongs.

Josh, I won’t oppose or support your claim, because as you dredge into the middle of the rankings, you can argue placements like this in either direction. I’m sure that sounds like a cop out, but it’s really only worth investigating if there is a gross injustice and I don’t see one here.
Chromium.. Yes. But this division is so competitive .. 20 rank spots is next to nothing even within the Top 40.
Pat Healy…. you double-checked that one, right? Because wasn’t Caros Fodor only ranked #38?
Can you explain why John Makdessi (9-1) is ranked so low? At #141 he stands as the 9th ranked Canadian and well behind the likes of Kurt Southern and Jesse Ronson, which, in both cases, seems odd.
Did Makdessi just fight the right guys at the wrong times, or what?
Pat Healy is the new Brian Cobb
