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

That was all my doing. Tried to rate the old bare knucklers at a lower scale so they would be ok relative to one another but fade as the gloved era came. It may not have been the soundest thing to do, but it was an attempt to feather the bkb days into the modern era while using a modern era sim.

If you have ratings for fighters from that era created earlier, you may want to down-grade them relative to the other bkb's in the database. I am not sure when the team will get to that era. I know that I am taking a long vacation from it but the others are carrying on (mainly with more modern fighters).

If you want to discuss it just shoot me a PM and maybe we can start a conversation via email.

I can get by. I noticed that you didn't mess with the Sullivan, Hadley, Kilrain generation. I'll just use the era to build up a history to about 1882 or so before I really try to run a universe.

Edit: BTW, I think I agree with your decision.
