100s a lot to rank. Rob P had a good idea a while back where (I think) he had a lot of fighters to rank so the first thing he did was split them into (say) 3 or 4 sections (eg. ATGs, world champs, top condenders, Euro Champs) rank the sections seperately, put the lists together and make any needed adjustments on the cusps of the sections to get a final list.
Yeah, that was sort of the method I planned to use. Get the 100 names with maybe a few extra to consider then break them down to groupings, say 1-20, 20-40, 40-60 etc and break it down from there
Maybe start with a top 15-20 in each division and go on from there?
Thats a good idea as well, i'll try and do that although even some divisions that will be a hard task in itself
Here is a list I made a while ago trying to get all British world title challengers I gave up since the proliferation became too great.....it may help

Cheers, that will be loads of help
Not British, but good list.
Interesting topic, I bet once you get down to the lowest 50 ranked fighters, it becomes fairly hard to compile.
Yep, thats what I'm expecting as well, get a good start on the top 30-40 then start having difficulties breaking the ranks down from there
