The Best Years of Our Lives-Lou Bailey & Vic Brown
Here are two fighters from the Ali-In-Exile era (late 1960s) for whom I've provided a Prime career rating. Both Bailey an Brown had very long careers. Neither was anything more than a trial horse for fighters on their way up who were looking for a predictable opponent.
Bailey started his career back in 1957 at the age of twenty. Ten years later he stopped fighting, but made a return to the ring three years later in 1970 at the age of thirty-three and fought four more years. The rating that I've provided covers his career from 1961 up to 1967.
Brown began boxing professionally in 1963 when he was twenty-four. He was gone for two years of military service and restarted his career in 1966. His rating is based upon his performance up to 1970.
I've simmed both fighters against their rated opponents for these respective periods and have enjoyed very accurate results. I also made career stage adjustments (Post-Prime) with realistic results as well
