What makes Lee's competition tougher? I don't know that you can weight competition by weight. You are only wrestling who is there. I can't say that 125 DURING Lee's years is tougher than Nolf's 157 class. Are you basing or on Lee being beat by other guys? I can argue Lee is lesser for losing to those guys just as easily as I can say it was tougher because Lee lost. 

You are asking the wrong guy...I was calling out @Wrestleknownothing.

Why should your categories be equal weighted? Why should major decision rate have the same weight as pinfall rate? Ditto for opposition ranks. How do you properly deal with ranks across result types? Lee had fewer pinfalls than Nolf, but they came against tougher competition. How do you adjust for that?

Thank you. I feel better now.

I said that because the average wrestlestat rank of Lee's pinfelled opponents was higher than that of Nolf's pinfallen opponents.

Zain squeaks it out for several reasons that are aren’t captured in the data. 

I heavily weigh wrestling as a true freshman. 

Two of his three losses were to the defending 2x national champ, who would go on to win 4 and become an all time great. Taylor is similar in this aspect.

Also, a 94 match win streak is just incredible.
