Maurice Strickland rating?

Cap · 01-11-2021, 05:04 PM

Has anyone rated New Zealand heavyweight Maurice Strickland? I have a version of him that could be pretty old. His overall is '7'. He had a good ring record, losing mostly to top guys in his prime. Some of his decision losses may have been because he was fighting in the other guy's hometown/country. Boxrec gives him a 56.36 KO% with 31 of 40 wins by stoppage, so I (?) gave him a 6 for HP and 38 for punch accuracy. He lost decisions to Larry Gains, Jack London, Obie Walker and Jim Wilde when he was in England in 1936, so I may decide to downgrade him because when I run him against these guys he tends to win.

Mine is a "3" (maybe a bit low?) with a HP of 5. I have no idea who rated him.

I have him the same file Waltercito posted. Only file I have for him. Don't have him as a 7 and would be interested in seeing that file

Here's the file I have. No idea where it came from, but I have tinkered with it after reading a bit on him. It says "Imported from TB1" so could be old. In his prime he lost to three pure boxers in Ray Nicol, Ambrose Palmer and Tommy Loughran, so I'm thinking his CF should be greater against sluggers than boxers.

Thanks, Cap
It is an old one. I'm surprised I didn't have it. Looking at him in boxrec I'd likely lower his CF vs boxers. I'd also consider raising his kdr2 to from 2 to at least 3, because 3 of his 4 stoppage loses were KO's. With only 1 tko loss and an end of 9 his absorb punishment of 2 works

That sounds logical. I'll do a bit more tinkering.
