They have it based on actual judges scores so the more points a judge gave a guy the more it effects his rating. The SD shot spinks up because essentially they're giving him credit with half beating Taylor.
You can't make legitimate boxing ratings. It's nearly impossible. Hell they had ezzard charles at #1 all time because he beat louis and had some run ins with marciano. At that point, i think they had level of competition considered heavily but it was still forwned upon.
