I don't like rating them either, and for the same reason you give. Even in the case of some obvious TC types I tend to leave them alone if they are still acive unless I'm looking for a fighter from a particualar country and weight class and pickings in boxrec are slim. The only active "name" fighters I might think about rating would be guys that have fought in a number of weight classes and have definitely "outgrown" a class. I think a snapshot of that portion of their career, could be viable, but aside from that, I like having a complete picture.
