Rankings Rankings Rankings 2007

Happy New Year

One thing I like to do every January (since last year) is give kickboxing fans with an interest in rankings the opportunity to compare the CKO rankings with the rankings of the sanctioning organizations.

Click here (http://www.centralkickboxing.org/Articles/rankings_rankings_rankings.htm) to see a list of the current CKO Top Ten and the IKF, ISKA, etc rankings side-by-side.

Enjoy

Good job CKO! Nice to see who's paying attention to the fight scene and who's not.

When did Ronnie Copeland retire. Does he know that? He sure if fighting a lot for a retired guy.

If you think those are bad, check out the PKF (pkfusa.com). Pat Smith at #1!!!!!!

[color=orange]My bad Ray if i did not explain Ronnie better. I'm not his keeper but i came to that conclusion and it seems like it to me.[/color]
[color=orange]I had asked Steve why Ronnie was not in the rankings some time late last year -06- and Steve forwarded me an e-mail from Ronnie that had some mumbo jumbo in it about how he didn't think he needed to be in the rankings any more and said he was going to mainly focus on doing team kickboxing with the wcl and asked to be taken out of the rankings. So yes Ray, Ronnie knows my concept of thought here. What i was meaning was, he seems to be saying in that e-mail he was not going to fight any more actual kickboxing bouts (actual 5+ rounds of kickboxing bouts) anymore. seems pretty clear to me.[/color]

Ray,
I owe you an apology. Steve just sent me this e-mail,


[color=cyan]Brett,[/color]
[color=cyan]I never said Ronnie retired, he just didn't want to be in the rankings any more. Here is what he e-mailed to me which was a legit request, which we took care of for him:[/color]
[color=cyan][/color]
[color=cyan]______________________[/color]
[color=cyan]"[font=Arial][size=2]Please do not take this request out of context. Please remove my name from the IKF rankings. I am not retiring but I do not feel that it is avantagious to my career to be ranked by the IKF. I plan to shift my focus to the WCL. Again, I am not trying to stir anything up with my request and cause any ill will. I thank you for your attention in this matter.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=cyan][font=Arial][size=2][font=Arial][size=2]Take Care,[/size][/font]
