While I can't say that necessarily somebody else's rating of a common fighter are any better than mine, I usually presume that they might have a little more familiarity with the subject than I do. Only once in a great while do I think that my rating is more accurate then say one that has been accepted in the data pool (excluding old timers). But that's usually because I've seen the fighter or know something extra about him. I make a note of it when such a fighter is posted by me. Wilbert (Vampire) Johnson, for instance, is just such a case. (His prime was at Middleweight not Cruiserweight). On the other hand, I don't mind at all if somebody thinks they can improve on one of my posted ratings and should feel free to post it on this thread as long as they explain why the rating should be changed.
