Could be. Why I opted for "Either" was when you watch Teo's fights he's making substantial stylistic alterations from one opponent to another. He'll fight one guy on his toes and another flat-footed. Somewhat similar to Larry Holmes.
As far as the rating goes, I found mine as a downlaod at the Table Top Sports website and tweaked and progressed it as I ran though my uni.
Here's a YouTube overview of Teo's career. You can sort of see that change of style taking place, particularly in the 1980 Olympics. Also, when he fought Tyrell Biggs in 1984, he was totally flat-footed and didn't rely upon the jab all that much in that match (it's not included with the clips cited).

Well regardless of my view, once again you are giving us some very interesting revisions. Obviously, you're giving this project great thought and producing some excellent results.
