Seems ridiculously low.

well they heavily overrate pre-1960’s fighters with their point accrual system. when fighters used to fight constantly, they beat more decent fighters as a whole. just a flaw in the system.
not necessarily beat better fighters. just that with more fights, your accrual of points (based on your opponents’ accrued points) goes up. losses also don’t hurt as much when you rematch a guy 8 times.Wait. Can you clarify for me. Fighters that fought more and beat better fighters get overrated? Maybe I am not reading it right.

i can appreciate the difficulty for sure. i just find it a bit redundant, in most cases.K I see the criticism with the system. The one thing I will appreciate about numerous rematches is that some of these guys had to face a brutal opponent numerous times. Tunney fought Greb 5x. That's insane. You don't see that anymore.
So in a number of ways I really appreciate the early fighters had to overcome.
