FWIW I agree with Rocco and think that having some of the more talent challenged fighters in history makes the game more "real" 'cause let's face it even the 1 rated fighters in the game mostly had winning records built on the back of impressive records against local "tomato cans". It also it quite fun when some of these fighters, like Julius Garcia whom I posted above, pull out the spoiler victory that ruins a hot prospects run to the top when running a universe.
That's my 2c anyway
