@Yaspaa: yeah, he was getting beat up pretty bad throughout the fight, but in the end he pulled through and got the win in decisive fashion. putting him below Okami still doesn't make sense... are you ranking Barry over Kongo and Alves over Kampmann just because they were losing the fight pretty badly up until their comeback? A win is a win, and in Boetsch's case he earned it by turning up the pressure on Okami to a level Okami couldn't handle.

You're using MMA math by saying Boetsch beat the guy who beat Munoz so he deserves to be ranked ahead of him
Munoz beat Maia who previously demolished Sonnen so using your reasoning means Munoz should be ranked no.2
It was a great comeback by Boetsch but one big win doesn't undermine solid wins by guys like Munoz and Okami over a long period of time
You're just wrong

@ Russello: If they rematched, I'd pick Boetsch to beat Okami again. Okami literally had nothing to offer when Boetsch increased the pace against Okami. Boetsch knows this now, and if the two were to fight again, Boetsch would know how to win. Yeah, Okami could change his gameplan and training to counter it, but Boetsch would still be coming in with a strong mental advantage.

Seriously, my mind is blow at your belief that Tapology belt level = MMA knowledge. Please explain to me your reasoning behind your assumed perfect correlation of the two things.

So do you think he should get a title shot next? or fight the winner of vitor/wanderlei?

Look at the way you're talking. Your posts are blunt and rude, with arrogance/self-righteousness throughout them. 'Spare me ..' - Dont make a thread if you dont want people disagreeing with you, cause it will happen, especially when you rank Boetsch 4th.
Also, he said 'you're just wrong' in the same way I'm about to, because I love a good MMA debate and I would of liked to engage with you, but your attitude doesnt leave space for criticism, so my response will be:
You're just wrong. Im not going to respond you either, lets just agree to disagree and leave it there. Also, I really liked Dragonball Z when I was younger. The Cell saga was the best ;)

I feel that he definitely has the skills to get into the top ten easily, but my rankings are based on past performances rather than potential who-would-beat-who match-ups (it's a flawed concept due to the fact that styles make fights, not rankings).
@Russello: Tapology is a new website. Maybe if this was Sherdog and a user had tons of posts and a join date of 2003 then you could assume that he's been a part of MMA for a long time, but seriously, Tapology was founded in 2010, a year where the sport had already reached the mainstream. Even on other sites, things like "post count" and "user level" don't always necessarily show how long a user has been with a community, but it often shows how much free time they have on their hands. And it seems like your debate etiquette is a bit backwards. Standing with your argument and shutting down the arguments of others is what should be expected in a debate, while saying something like "you're just wrong" when the topic in question is something completely subjective is immature at best.

He's also talking about debate etiquette on the internet, fantastic. I really think Im going to enjoy him being around, he might even get my 5th follow.

And who doesn't love Andy Wang? Just make sure to keep discussion of him on that topic so that we can stick to the subject here.
