Who is the greatest manager of all time?

[Mentor]

I thought this was pretty obvious, but it seems it is not to some people, so i decided to make a poll. It is highly debatable who is the best or not and a poll is limited to just 20 candidates, so i picked the candidates based upon who is in the HOF and limited it to just managers on that list which had over 200 wins in total.

 

If you are not in the HOF it is hard to consider yourself a candidate for best manager ever (although you could blame the ranking system). Also if you have not had enough fight wins, it is also hard to realistically consider yourself the all time best ever. So i think these 2 criteria are the main. The list is still pretty big though with 20 managers on there.

Your list lacks both Avon, Deamus and rivfader, all of whom I have in my top 5.

A few names from the list sounds familiar, but maybe someone could explain to me what this guys achieved to be considered in the poll:

1) Estefan Chiscano - I never heard of him, except he created The Broken Halo Pride alliance

2) Trent Quo

3) Bawon Samedi

4) Mihail Masseria

5) Elmeri Siimanvarjo

 

I do not want to offend anyone from my list, just been curious.

 

Btw. You put Soyster Eightny-Nine twice.

[Viking]

I voted for Lance Templeton.

 

 

 

I guess Chris Karter would be a contender, if he didnt duck/handpick his fights.

 

 

And Moyses Mattos is a well known cheater that had multi accounts that he fought his own fighters with.

 

 

EDIT: What is Scottie Power doing on that list? This is "Greatest Manager of all time poll", right? Not Biggest Cancrusher of all time poll.

 

 

 

And by the way, I think that JLP should be on that list. (Not the can crusher poll lol)

 

 

EDIT 2: Shortfuse should also be in the Great Manager poll

Good list and good (enough) criteria given the limitations of a poll thread.

 

I voted for Lance.

[Guest]

Lance for as long as I can remember he is always at the top even on a bad day he still versus the top guys PVP

[JKevi]

I wonder if all of these managers are still active.

Anyway I voted for "Clever" Hans Schmidt.

Ok, i added JLP, i missed him

Well i had to get objective criteria. Even those 2 managers are pretty legit despite the cheating and can crushing.

Me!

[Stu_Pidasol]

Made the hall of fame - have over 200 wins and not listed, yet Scottie power is.. Tisk tisk..

 

Cant comment on Avon but Lance and Deamus are top two

[spix70r]

Gunmetal Grey imo

 

[Umberts]

1. Avon
2. Deamus/Lance
3. JLP/CK
4. Jacky
5. Mannetosen

6. Crisse

7. Widing

8. Louie

9. Zyd

10. Virtouz

My top 10.

Voted for Lance but Im baffled that no one has even mentioned Opa Jokinen who FOR SURE is one of the top5 all-time best managers. That dude has managed the murderer's row of fighters and at some point I think he might even had 4 fighters in the top10 AT THE SAME TIME!

O crap, in the HOF it shows just the "current record", i just checked that now. As for the Opa debate, has he never been in the top spot p4p?

 

I removed Mattos and Scottie after popular request, added Avon, Deamus and Stu

[Guest]

Has to be Avon or Lance. Overall they have the best of the best and from what I remember they never backed away from a fight

[Guest VladTheImpaler]

Voted for my mentor Mannetosen. Who else has been ranked number 1 in manager rankings and in mentor rankings? The answer is no one.

[soyster89]

I'm not the best manager of all time, I'm not even top 5. I'm honored to even be considered here. The best of all time is Lance. Hands down.

[Guest]

Why isnt Rivfader on that list?

 

Edit: Just noticed that Opa isnt on the list either...

Yeah, Opa got snubbed badly here. He got fighters who have proven themselves many times over. But he flies under the radar.

 

I voted Lance though.

Yeah I cant recall if he ever was #1 at any time before there was awards but I doubt it. Anyway, we all know what those manager ranking are. Personally I value getting a fighter to top10 way way wayy higher than getting your manager rank there (not to mention 3 at a same time!). Also, Opa has had at least 9 different fighters in and out of the top10. How many managers have done that?

Well done. Now please add Opa in there dammit. Even a from neck down paralyzed, blind, mute, deaf 97yo grandma who has never even heard about MMA can see that Opa belongs to that list.

Incidentally said grandma could probably outfight most of his fighters.

I don't need to be added to the list - I was just giving you a hard time as you added Scottie, I know your list was trying to be extensive but common sense needs to prevail somewhere when compiling a list like this

[igorbyhenikov]

This poll is a joke until Opa Jokinen is added to the list.

[soyster89]

It's also hard for me to leave out Gunmetal Grey and Luke Daigle. Both are worthy of a top 20 spot.

 

The biggest omission I see more often than not is the snubbing of Tarmo. The guy doesn't get enough credit. Easily one of the smartest people I've encountered in the game.
