This message was edited 2 times. Last update was at 02/02/2009 21:33:25

Ok now imo this is the OB all-time top 10.
Ive been here a while and i have saw alot of fighters come and go.
So here is my list of Top 10 all time of people that have been here thru era's and dominated no matter what.

1.Larry Holmes-Larry has been here since the very beginning has been one of the most dominant fighters in every single era NO MATTER WHAT or who.1st ever HOFer, Most wins ever. Boxing mixed with patience out of this world.

2.HTF-Been here almost as long as Larry, has been the most dominant fighter in about all of the "OB Golden Ages" amazing speed and smarts.Best ever on paper lol. Most title rounds, fights, wins, defenses, super champ, undisputed status.

3.Fatny-3rd place instead of 1st only because he doesn't have the "longevity" of fighters such as Larry and HTF, but skill wise is the best ever in many's eyes.Dominates during this era whenever he's active , with ease.

4.sugarray-Had the best boxing/defense in OB history in many's eyes. would outland you with body jabs and jabs every round.Shutout some of the best in 12 (winning almost every round) and you'd look up at stamina and u would see him with almost full bar and you less than half. Enough said lol.

5.Unstoppable-Been here for a reasonably long time and improved very quickly. Within not much time he was up there during the "Golden Age of OB" with fighters such as the rest of the Top 5. Constantly going back and forth with wins. With exceptional speed and combo's rose to HOF status with this.

Well this is my opinion with reasoning. Vets reply with ideas and reasoning.

u mean top 5 here ..u said top 10

? i edited it.

1: ProfsBack
2: Yacoob
3: Serious Buisness
4: Problem
5: Ray Johnson/ISPAM

1. Paul Dion Junior
2. The Dogger
3. The Madman
4. Dream Kid
5. Edder

I like sexy Larry and all, but i don't think putting Larry up as the #1 OB fighter just because he's been here longer is very fair ya know.

Here is my list based on my personal experiences in boxing these gentlemen:

1. Fatny

- Fatny has been around for a good while now. He is the best player on OB2D ever. He has not only dominated but has made even best of the HOF look like they don't have a change against him. Other thing about him is that he can take months away from this game and then return and continue dominating after only couple of matches of shaking off the rust.

2. Larry Holmes

- Larry has been on top since the very beginning of OB2D. No matter what era Larry has been there on top winning titles. Larry has shown ability to win titles and dominate regardless of changes and era.

3. HTF

- Dominated during his era. On paper rivals Fatny for the title of best ever. What "drops" HTF to third place is the fact that he has not shown same ability to make a come back from retirement as Larry and Fatny.

Other than these 3 rest of them are mortal and perfectly beatable.

i Put him number 1 because he's been at the Top without a doubt for EVERY era of OB, no matter coming off retirement or at full force.

When ranking the best ever, I rate those that dominated on OBv1 and OB2D ahead of those that just dominated OB2D. It's not fair to forget OB Version #1. Therefore, my rankings look a bit different.

IMO, the best player ever is Larry Holmes. He was IMO the 2nd best ever in OBv1 and Top 5 in OB2D. Unfortunatley, Here to Fight and Fatny weren't around for OBv1 so that hurts them in an all-time sense.

Also, although LAB was the best ever in OB1, he never amounted to much in OB2D so that hurts him immensely as well. Same goes for Mike Tyson, who has never really come into his own in OB2D. Hence, when creating these all-time lists, one needs to look at the whole picture.

I need to put the original obv1 back

Indeed.

It is time to revisit this thread so here is my complete list based on my personal experiences in boxing against good number of people including almost all of the really good players.

1. Fatny

- Fatny has been around for a good while now. He is the best player on OB2D ever. He has not only dominated but has made even best of the HOF look like they don't have a change against him. Other thing about him is that he can take months away from this game and then return and continue dominating after only couple of matches of shaking off the rust. Fatny comes and goes but in the end he always ends up taking the title.

Does not really have a completely style but has rather come up with his own method, which happens to be the best method.

2. Larry Holmes

- Larry has been on top since the very beginning of OB2D. No matter what era Larry has been there on top winning titles. Larry has shown ability to win titles and dominate regardless of changes and era.

3. HTF

- Dominated during his era. On paper rivals Fatny for the title of best ever. What "drops" HTF to third place is the fact that he has not shown same ability to make a come back from retirement as Larry and Fatny.

4. Sugarray

- Best defense of OB2D ever. This combined with his superior boxing skills and stamina control made him a point machine. What he lacked was power to floor people which did cost him bunch of important matches in the long run.

5. Salvador or Rocky Marciano

- What can I say? I just happen to appriciate my own skills and know I have beaten everybody but Fatny silly. My game is very technical and what I call a complete game. Very good defense, very good boxing and very good slugging. I use these skill very intelligently, which frustrates some players as they are used to opponents rushing in only to get KO'ed when in red. It drives some people mad as they realize I am not going to fall into some stupid trap and/or am not going to make any stupid mistakes. Attack when you can afford it and can deal effective damage - fall back when it is a losing deal for you. Yet despite all this I dont make it any higher than this. While some of the other fighters might have more holes in their game, they make it up by having extreme skills in other areas they are able to take advantage of.

Enough of me. Salvador is contender for 5th spot. His boxing is supreme and on level with Sugarray. What he lacks compared to Sugarray is defense. Now his boxing defense is great so do not get me wrong. Salvador does pick you apart with his pinpoint accurate boxing but if you manage to press him and get close he is in trouble as he can be punished with slugging to a good degree. Basically his slugging defense is lacking. It is just that to get close to him without dying you have to be very good, and also to take advantage of it you have to be very good at slugging, so when saying he is suspectible to slugging, it does not mean average player can go and slug him trough the floor.

Other than these 5 boxers rest of them are mortal and perfectly beatable. Some may have a unique style and/or extreme level of skill in one area. While really good it is too easy to work around that one extremely high skill.

ps. Even the best ever king of OB can lose against a total noob. In the long run the noob just loses way more than wins. What else? Oh beating rusty people means nothing.

pps. Please feel free to whine and cry!

OMG, narcism is its purest form. We actually do agree on Fatny being the best ever. And I would add John to the top 5 as well.

Ahh rocky you digger.

But John deserves something for his devotion to OB at its worst times lmao.
