I know Jim's article on rating fighters says that it is a problem making light hitters as competitive as they were in real life. I believe he suggests bumping up the CFs as high as necessary. The question would be whether an HP of 4 would raise the KOs to unrealistic levels. I guess that's something that can only be resolved by playtesting. Rating fighters is a very interesting topic to me and I think we'll all get better at it with practice. As it stands, my vote would be with Mark. You need HP better than 1 to get the 4 pt punches you have to have to win decisions against good fighters. I would rather have too many KOs than too many decisions going the wrong way.
