    ...what do you rate higher (as in what order do you generally put these categories)

    Longevity at the top (If you fought for 6 years of the decade can you be as high as someone who stuck around for the full decade)
    Best wins (does having 3 big wins with nothing else of note do you harm, or are those 3 big wins what you should be rated on)
    Overall win-less (if you went 12-4 for the decade should this harm your standing compared to someone who went 43-0)
    Weight classes covered (Is staying in 1 division better than moving up?)
    Unifications and career defining fights (Do you need to unify to sit atop the the table?)

    Other intangibles

    For me it would go:

    Best wins
    Longevity at the top
    Overall win-less

    Weight class jumping is correlated to this. For example, if someone jumps several weight classes and gets good wins, it's understandable if they have a lower level of longevity and win loss ratio.
