Tony Chiaverini was the best of a pretty nondescript crew of opponents. The challenge of rating him for me was how you evaluate a hometown favorite with an impressive record whose only stoppage defeat came in his last fight at age 30 against a better caliber fighter. He reminded me somewhat of Lamar Clark - great KO record against dead bodies before meeting a young Cassius Clay (Ali) - only Ross' opponents had better records and he carried the fight against his best opponent into the last round. Using Clark's ratings as a very general template to work from, here is what I came up with for him without much testing or tweaking.

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet in the game... but I had a feeling Ross would be a challenge to rate because of that awesome record against mostly less than awesome opponents. I'm anxious to see what you came up with. Thank you so much for doing it.
