Here we go again.

Exactly, your flip floppy criteria to suit your agenda rears it's retarded head again. And your piss poor math. Assuming you managed to type his record correctly his ko% was 21%

Oscar beat 19 champions, 5 hall of famers and fought in 29 world title fights. Coming against more formidable opposition than nunc Wallace.

Now bring me that hypocritical

In today's time, anybody could become a world champion. Four champs per division. More weight classes to boot. It is an easier road now than when Nunc Wallace was fighting. See the point?

The pct is off wins and ko wins not for the whole absolute record. Thanks.

Yes there was. To calculate KO%, you have to divide the the Ko's by the amount of fights. What is you did is simply wrong. It isn't matter of opinion. It is a fact.

In the past when it comes to math, you have said it is your criteria. You are misusing the word criteria. This is math. You have to do it this way, or you are doing it wrong. That is a fact.

To explain it another way, in baseball, there is a way to figure out batting average. You divide the hits by the at bats. That is simply how you do it. It is not "criteria".
An example of criteria would be to say that your criteria for rating the best hitters is to look at batting average, home runs, rbis, slugging %, on base percentage, and hits.

Less talk, More pics!

I am calculating by the wins and ko wins for a ko pct. It is my way to know how hard the fighter hits in his victories. It is my criteria. My way.
