Keep the thoughts coming, Don! It's like a breath of fresh air over here. I've been playing to game since the late 70's and have spent more time deliberating over ratings than a "normal person" should. One of the aspects I've toyed with relative to ratings is how certain fighters seem to have very, very solid chins... until they suffer their first knockout defeat.

After that, their chin becomes average at best. Fernando Vargas is a good example. Pipino Cuevas is another. Bazooka Lamon. With certain fighters, I move them to post prime after they get "starched" for the first time. In some cases, I make two versions of the fighter. One for the prime version and another for post prime version.
