And yet should the likes of Schmeling or Jeanette be given presidence over a higher-rated fighter like Ali, Marciano or Louis when assessing the credibility of the top 6 fighters?BoxBuzz wrote:If I understand you correctly, I would think differently.
A lowered rated fighter....(E.G. Max Rosenbloom in a previous season) who outperforms his rating should be given serious consideration. That would seem to me to be a more difficult achievement than guiding a Marciano, Ali or a Louis to an expected top rating.
And if they are, in which case, the top six becomes rather pointless because we are not actually having the best six fighters in there...
