What I meant by most consistent performer was his ability to consistently get bonus points in relation to the level of competition he faced. I agree that from a win/loss stand point both of them (DS and NEss)are more consistent.

The problem with that is that it plays into the theory of the person who started this thread, and continues to egg some of us on, by acknowledging that Wins/Losses is a reasonable judge of futures in an individual sport divided up by weight classes.

Because of the differences in weight, competition level, I really believe that the most consistent(as defined by who is more likeley to be accuratley penciled in as a bounus point victor) up until this year, was Kish. That spot is now taken by Ness. DS is consistent in that he wins, but not in that he goes for the extra scores if they aren't obvioulsy there.

ps- I don't believe that the all-star matches shouldn't be counted on records at least in a discussion setting. I know what you mean by saying Ness is 23-0 but We all know he's 23-1. Now he avenged that loss, but at least put an * or something.
