Most of the fighters had unique, specialized attributes and that was a relly cool feature.
I re-rated McGovern about 3 months ago. He's another guy who was never the same after his knockout loss. I move him from prime to post-prime as soon as someone puts him to sleep.

I love that idea, though. Dean, over on the Mods board, assigns a southpaw rating to certain fighters to simulate certain advantages. Like Liston's ability to psyche an opponent out. That wouldn't be the case against every fighter, of course.
