1870s Fighters

I'm not quite sure where we should put the requests for fighter ratings. My old ratings from this era come from djday, but the team has weakened Joe Goss and the other oldtimers to the extent that I don't think those ratings work anymore.

If the team could rate the following fighters by the new standards, it would really help my replay:

Listed in order of importance:

1. Mike Donovan, MW from the 1860s and 1870s. (You've rated the later Mike Donovan)
2. Larry Foley, HW. The best Australian fighter of the time. At least as good as Goss and Mace.
3. Charley Gallagher, HW. Fought for Heavyweight Championship of America several time.
4. Posh Price, MW or HW. Fought both Goss and Allen for English titles.
5. Tom McAlpine, WW or MW
