The only defense he had was a clinch (which he did A LOT to break an opponents offense) and his suicidal lean back. He had an incredible chin and could take a punch like no other but his defense was pretty bad. That's always the first thing I change.

The Ali rating was not changed from the Trunzo years ... for an explanation of his rating you would have to ask them ... but they aren't active anymore. Personally there are several fighters I change upon importing. While I'm not confident enough in my ratings to add them to the database, I still have a feel for what I think is right. Like Marvin Johnson for example. While he is a high quality 6 in the game, I think he deserves a better rating than that so I upped him when I brought him into the uni.
The database team can defend ratings of fighters we have added because we test them against a schedule ... we don't know how the Trunzos rated their fighters, so I won't try to explain them. FWIW I always lower Ali down to about a 13 overall when I use him.
