How are the criterions for stars given on fight? I thought it was how big the fight was, but I cannot get that to be correct. Example Maxi Hughes - Jono Carrol four stars. Muhammad Ali- Leon Spinks. Two stars.

All bouts are rated with 0 to 5 stars. The rating points are converted with the cube of Heavyweight upper weight reference in relation to the upper weight reference of the bout weight division.

Men

5 stars = both opponents have 45.4 rating points at least ~ best 100 boxers
4 stars = both opponents have 13.8 rating points at least ~ best 300 boxers
3 stars = both opponents have 4.17 rating points at least ~ best 900 boxers
2 stars = both opponents have 0.759 rating points at least ~ best 2700 boxers
1 stars = both opponents have 0.013 rating points at least = best 8100 boxers
0 stars = one opponents has not even 0.013 rating points at least = not rated boxers
Women

5 stars = both opponents have 38.2 rating points at least ~ best 10 boxers
4 stars = both opponents have 18.3 rating points at least ~ best 30 boxers
3 stars = both opponents have 6.45 rating points at least ~ best 90 boxers
2 stars = both opponents have 0.231 rating points at least ~ best 270 boxers
1 stars = both opponents have 0.005 rating points at least = best 810 boxer
0 stars = one opponents has not even 0.005 rating points at least = not rated boxers
Using the current scoring system, in 1978 past his prime Ali's score had dropped to 44 and Spinks at 7-0 was 3.7. Hughes and Carrol were 18 and 19 respectively. So the difference is the rating of the lowest ranked boxer involved.
