The problem is it depends if anyone has already refined the fighters in their own game. I have reduced Hagler to a 10 HP and Burley to 7 etc etc. and my Foreman has a HP of 13 not 14

One of the problems is you cant make the fighter in the game fight as he in fact did. So if you up Robinsons HP to an 8 at MW he will destroy guys far to early, instead of it being a close win for Ray or a middle or late TKO.

Take Jackson
If you fight Robinson as a slugger against him, Ray will have a CF advantage of 2. PL of 48 against Jacksons 38. ( dont forget the comp will take 2 Of Jacksons PL and add on another 4 to Robinsons, and Robinsons PMissed is far better then Jacksons. Even with Robinsons HP at only a 5 he wins over 70% against Jackson.

I still say Robinson WW 8 MW 6 or 7 LHW 5. By the way Jackson is about 11 HP i agree.

As Jim pointed out on paper a fighters HP might look OK but all said and done its just numbers relating to each other, and with all the other factors involved it does not always work out right. The main thing is to try to get the fighters to perform in the game as they did in real life, Regardless of the numbers.

I have posted one of Jims articles under Rating Fighters which might give some newcomers food for thought.

Forgive me Gentleman if the above is a little jumbled but i have just had a few glasses of wine so not at my best with this posting.
