I have placed a poll on the IAF events page. It list the names that have been placed on this board. You can only vote once and only for one choice. The poll will end December 15th. We can then do one for the 176 pound class and so on. The address is: iaf1.homestead.com/events.htmlCheck it out and be sure to vote!!  |

Matt Harris at 154? He pulled the 165+ class at Travis' super match tournament, and pulled 176 at Reno.
When was the last time he pulled 154s? Does anyone Know?

i pulled RJ,Thomas,Soliwada,Beir and Hendricks.i was at the best shape when i pulled Soliwada in 2001 harley pull and at ok shape against the others.to me it goes between RJ and Thomas as far as i experienced the ones that i mentioned.Matt Harris is a tough guy for my opinion as far as i followed his matches.i voted for Thomas because of the latest results at 154 pound classes.

I voted for Bryon Thomas too. I honestly believe he is the strongest of the bunch and needs to be considered more closely. Especially by everyone doing the voting on the pullingjohn rankings.  |

THE IDEA WAS TO SET UP A VOTE SYSTEM FOR A TOP 10 AND COULD BE VOTED PRIVATELY.
IM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM KURT .

I have been on the table with everyone on that list short of Matt, at a full fledged 154, I think Rick Soliwada is the toughest there is in the US, his hand is so dominant compared to the rest of the pullers I have pulled that he really takes a great deal away from you on the table and right now I would give him a slight edge over Thomas if they went against each other in 5 straight matches both at 154.

I have trained with Soliwada, the kid's hand is bigger then mine. I remember pulling Mike O'hara at a tournament when I dropped weight, and Rick is way stronger then him. I think O'hara pulled at a higher weight then Rick, but was national champ at the time. Just trying to give up a comparison.

Nicole, you guys must have a hell of a fan club considering Matt has only pulled only 1 70KG class in what over 5 years and he finished I think second to Bryon Thomas at that event yet he has 34 votes for top dog at 154. Not saying he is not deserving, just an observation.
Remind me to contact you if I ever run for office.

From the poll results so far there appears to be a pattern developing. We need everyone to voice their opinion. I will post a poll for ladies if everyone wants to make some nominations, say 0-132, 133-154, 155-Up
