I find them both reasonable


This may be just my own personal opinion, but, first and foremost, all rankings are subjective when wrestler A hasn't faced wrestler B. Even when you get into how they fared against common opponents, it doesn't necessarily tell you how they'll do against each other - assuming they are both in the same ballpark. A number 1 or 2 is probably going to destroy number 35, but against # 8 - who knows?? Just ask Marinelli and Vincenzo Joseph how those rankings worked out for them versus Mekhi. Answering the question - who is better - is why they wrestle.

Next point, I think both ranking services (plus I'd add Win) are reasonable despite having differences. One guy is #3 on one service, #6 on the other, and toward the higher numbers, each list may have some names that don't appear on the other lists. That's to be expected in a sport like this where there really shouldn't be any shock when #6 beats #3. The rankings are just best guesses.
