That's a diplomatic response. The phrase absurd is one that springs more readily to mind...!

I once saw a rather fruity film where the woman he was banging was telling him he was the number one.

It took more contact for her to go down than Brian Magee.

I think Floyd Mayweather losing a point for TKO'ing Gatti is a bigger mystery.

First - point differences are not significant between the top 5 super middleweights. There is a range of about 90 points, wherein ratings should be regarded as not significantly different.

Second - the current ratings a limited by all these boxers by the cut - the rating of their best defeated opponent + 90 points.

So:

- Reid for defeating Magee
- Lazy for defeating Vanderpool
- Beyer for defeating Green
- Calzaghe for defeating Veit
- Kessler for defeating Mundine (at that time)

No mysteries - Mayweather's rating is also limited by the cut - and Gatti was lower than 90 points behind Mayweather. So Mayweather couldn't achieve points.

You're right, there is no mystery... The mystery was solved long ago by many.
