    It's often really hard to compare fighters achievements so I devised a system to rank fighters achievements. The system is below and its results reveal some very interesting thing's.

    5 = win
    -5= loss
    2 = draw

    Bonuses

    +2 championship fight (only world titles5)
    +4 if three + belts are on the line
    +2 KO or TKO victory
    + 3 if opponent is undefeated (if no fight ineligible)
    +5 if opponent undefeated over 25 bouts
    +2 if loss by split decision
    +1 if loss by MD
    +5 unification fight
    +5 if elite fighter
    +1 if fight at new division

    Minuses

    -3 if KO'ed
    -4 if opponent in last 6 has an even or losing record
    -2 if DQ
    -3 if opponent has had under 10 fights
    -2 if opponent has lost more than 10% of his fights
    -1 if WBO event

    It's very interesting look at the results:
    I've dun three soo far Oscar 366 points
    Hopkins 318
    Mayweather 237

    That wouldn't tell half the story. Those are just stats, most of them meaningless.

    An arbitrarily adjusted point scoring system won't show anything.

    Well then it is not a fair system. Oscar would not be 366 if Hopkins is 318. A system which works would hae Hopkins 400, Oscar 315 and Floyd 260.
