When would you deliberately apply a Conditioning rating of 6?

Well, I *don't* think it really works well with Lewis at any stage of his career. I'm trying to think of older guys who could show up one fight and then totally lay an egg the next... I might be inclined to give that out to a post-Douglas Tyson, maybe. Max Baer got the Party Animal rating, but you could just as easily give him this one (to me, the Inconsistent matters more than the Aging, although I am not sure exactly what the effects of each of these ratings are... hmm, that sounds like a nice little research topic).

A (6) conditioning rating is where Monte Barrett and Chris Byrd are now.

I think Butterbean needs a 6 or worse. James Toney has been a 6 or worse lately as well.

It's just a percentage of time that the fighter will be in other than great shape.

It could be described as "Person who wakes up to use the bathroom too often in the wee morning hours.". Someone might well ask when that would ever be used and we could all say "It's sort of like an aging inconsistant veteran".

Whatever you call it, it's supposed to mean that the fighter is not in top form 35% of the time.

Didn't Sakio Bika have an END of 2 once? I think it was a mistake but that's the lowest I recall seeing.

So you should really ignore the "aging" bit? Because otherwise you couldn't apply it to a guy who is just beginning, unless he's 40. This is the one permanent Conditioning rating that I've never really understood.

Since we can now provide multiple ratings for fighters with effective dates for implementing a fighters start at a particular weight class it might be apt in cases of that sort. For example I might want to create a rating for Benny Leonard's comeback and might decide that a 6 is descrpitive.

Apart from cases of this sort all the rating is trying to do is establish the 35% chance of not being in tip top shape. Like height and weight it is more window dressing.
