What's up Tyrant?

Why don't you post on my forum anymore? Depressed since PBF retired?

hah, yeah...at least I still have Mosley, Casamayor (and a great effort vs Marquez), Hopkins, Manny....and Andre Berto is becoming a new favorite...Mijares is pretty awesome

I am an Art Director/Graphic Designer at a creative marketing agency.

Why are you retired folk afraid?

Count Tyrant in Sally

updated the list in history of OB forums

We'll miss you catfish. Come back.

Yes I am still a huge Resident Evil fan (though more a Silent Hill fan)

*ahaha, Sal is a sweet guy

Sounds good to me.

^agreed

it could be useful if there was like a 1 or 2 pause limit...so you'd be forced to use it only when you really need it

Thanks for the shout Sal.

Though I trained HTF/NewGuy, he took a lot of it and made it his own. So I have to give him the credit for what he's done with his OB career.

Anyway, this sounds like a great idea. To pass some of our knowledge to the current generation to produce more GREAT and DOMINANT fighters.

I wouldn't mind training someone too. We could setup some sort of scouting period where fighters who want to train show their current skills before us. That way we may know who would best benefit from our individual styles.

For example, a slugger may not WANT to work with Tyrant..lol..or maybe he would..?

By you saying anyone who doesn't agree with you isn't a student of the game and are all teenagers living in their parent's basements just shows me what type of mentality you're working with.

I don't need to waste my time with that.

Obama, I consider myself a fairly good student of the game.

But also in logic as well. I just don't see the point of factoring in draws and losses.

When you knock your opponent out, you win the fight. Therefor it makes sense to tally KO percentage based on actual wins.

If you go 5-5-1 (5KOs). You have a KO percentage of 100%. Because you "WON" 5 fights and WON BY KNOCKOUT in 5 out of those 5 fights. What does counting those 5 losses and 1 draw get you other than a 45% KO average?

It would be a different story if you could knock your opponent cold and still lose the fight. Which realistically only happens via DQ if say you hit him while he was down.

It's subjective, but I feel KO percentage should only be based on wins since it goes on your record as a "W" when you KO someone.

That is the most absurd thing I've heard...

When you KO someone, you win...therefor your only take into account your wins...not losses and draws....

I'm not active like you guys, but I'm game for this challenge. For a fighter who has lost 1453 times, the last thing Tyrant is-is afraid to lose.

Bring it on!

*btw....to you Professor .....Tyrant - 17-13-1 vs Reaper...I think Tyrant can handle Reaper pretty well...

15-19 vs Red Viper...he's the one that's given Tyrant trouble with his style change...I am more talented...can beat him up 11 1/2 our of 12 rounds..but he is patient, powerful, doesn't quit and fights hard to the end..

Nto everyone in the HOF was heavily dominant.

There are a couple in the HOF who were just very good in a time of great players and a few that happened to win the title and rack up some solid defenses and title trades...a couple had their pretty dominant moments...and a couple had pretty long, dominant reigns...

my point being that it is varied...some more dominant than others...some just happened to make it due to giving champions hard fights

I always thought sugarray's accomplishments, first ever undisputed and super champion, as well as being a solid top guy should get him in...

also Jermain Taylor's nice run at dominance with the title for a period of time...

What a way to disrespect the hang that feeds you...
