    Thank you for sharing bravely but I might suggest replacing at least Cerdan with Valuev, just to dip a toe second toe in these here piranha infested waters.

    This is anything but a "terribly inaccurate" list.

    Exactly. It ain't perfect but, a) nobody's is and b) compared with the sort of thing you'd expect from a 14 year old (even if they'd been following the sport for a few years already, let alone having just recently picked it up) ...

    Oh yeah, for a 14 years old, that's still very impressive.
    When i was his age, i didn't even know who Rocky Marciano was!

    I mean, forget Marciano, just the fact that he's even aware of guys like Gans, Langford, Saddler, etc.

    Shows he did some amount of homework before putting this all together. Guessing many hours of YouTube videos, @InexperiencedFan0907 ?

    This is probably objectively better than what I would come up with

    actually, not really. i haven't watched a lot of boxing, i mainly do research off articles, scouting reports, and general testimony of a boxer's greatness. i've been told i should try scoring some old fights, so if someone can dm me a simple way to do that i will probably do that.

    maybe me and 2 or 4 other folks can find a match that went the distance that none of us have watched before, and score it

    At least his philosophy's simple and easy to buy into.

    "Canelo's incapable of losing rounds. :deal:"

    You need to know about them. Not because those boxers were good. They were the opposite of good. But they became memes for good reason.

    i think i found an article. please correct any mistakes.

    - most rounds, winning boxer gets 10, losing boxer gets 9
    - each knockdown is a point deducted for the round
    - if both fighters get knocked down in the same round it's canceled out
    - 10-8 w/o knockdown is possible if opposing fighter was dominated extremely or saved by the bell
    - 10-10 rounds can happen but are strongly discouraged
    - looking for effective aggression, ring generalship, defense, and hard clean shots
