From a very small sample of work. It seems to me that guys who hit a ton but have no defense or chin are the ulimate guys to have. They put on exciting fights. While i have fighters who on paper may be better then other guys I value these lesser fighters alot more because of they are going to get more exciting fights. Just wondering if at some point I will hit a wall when a couple guys trying to take the others head off will not be good enough and i will have to get some real talent. I am now looking at collecting a couple dozen strikers to form my heavyweight division and see how it goes.

Hmmmm I created this kid named Cody Milrod and I gave him a super glass chin and choker stats on purpose to be funny. He is talented though. Anyway, he has a title now and is popular beyond belief. Really surprised he hasn't been koed

Glass jawed, power punchers ARE definitely good for putting on exciting fights but there is a natural limit on how far they can take you as a company. Even if you groom dozens of them you will struggle to top the really talented guys at the top of the rankings, which once you hit National+ will threaten your competitive credibility.

Eventually your exciting guys need to show that they have skills too and that can only come from fighting the best... which it sounds like they'd really struggle to do. But on the plus side, they're a great strategy for early growth and even once you get to National+ they'll likely still be popular so they can keep being entertaining for you. They just won't be able to stay on top if you want to achieve global domination. :)
