    Anyone understand it?

    Froch vs. Johnson is 4 stars despite Froch's past fights being as tough as virtually anyones and Johnson being, well Johnson

    If you don't think Froch-Johnson is a four star affair your problems run deeper than comprehending Boxrec's proprietary system for rating prospective fight quality. :yep

    "5 stars = both opponents have 331 ratings points at least ~ best 100 boxers"
