Just a General Suggestion.

These posts have been tried before and it's just a suggestion. We can't just magically get another 22 people on OB when we want to.

I guess doesn't hurt to try though.

But again Larry, dont be offended. Your a great fighter, I just never seen you dominate a prime Bear, HTF, Fatny or Unstop.

but my point is that he has already proven himself..meaning is is already great...just like real sports...when Jordan came back and didn't dominate the game, that didn't make him any less great...he was already great for his dominance with the Bulls...Holyfield isn't any less great because he's losing a lot OUT of his prime...he's great because of what he's already accomplished in his prime

Larry is great because of the dominance he achieved vs HOFers in his and their primes..anything after has just been icing on the cake...and if anything...adjusting to all of the changes through the game throughout various eras of good and great fighters...and staying on top within the top 3 is not something ANY fighter in OB history can say...

HTF wrote:I believe Marvin Hagler still hold the fastest ko

Heh, Marvin was a big puncher in OB...

but I there has been a difference in movement speed over a change or two..so not sure what the actual record is

as said...if all you know is HTF, Bear and Fatny...then you're missing a great big chunk of OB history...

Larry is in my top 3 of all time...accompanied by HTF and Labratory...

I've viewed him as #1 of all time because he's be around in every era of great fighters since the beginning...and had his dominant place at the top in each era...HTF, Labratory and Fatny had the quick rising splashes to dominance...even Unstoppable...but Larry has been at it since the beginning and had many eras of dominance..

he's slowed down over the past 2 years...but any old crusty fart would...

and he fought prime at a time where about 4-6 HOFers were active and in their primes

*Carrot Juice HGH*

haha yeh u gta stay away from that carrot juice it leaves side effects

What's up with all this Carrot juice stuff? I should be on those title defense lists...

Sorry Tyrant, You are right, You should be up there in the title defenses. But an * must be put on it, cause carrot juice is a HGH. Now if you would have done it on Morgan, there would be no debate.

Yes I do love Carrot juice btw...get a juicer...some carrots....some sugar...some milk and cinnamon...and alcohol if desired

Dick wrote:What about Larry Holmes. This guy has been around since the year 1620. But as far as I know he has always been second best after guys like HTF, Fatny, Bear. Has he ever really dominated or was he always second best?

If all you know is HTF, Fatny and Bear...you don't know much of his history...

20sec KO...the fastest possible is probably like 19...your first right hand missed which lost you a fraction...so if the first landed, you probably could have skimmed the 19sec mark

I've been surprised to not see Tyrant's name in the # of title fights and title defense lists...

Not held a title since 2006...and only bothered challenging for a title twice in '07

Champs, watch your backs...

Time to get active again...Tyrant lives...

Everyone is going to say ME ME ME.

Setup eliminators if possible.

I did do 4 rounds so i didnt expect all my rounds to be perfect and this was my worse round so i didnt do that bad i guess.
Rocky your critism is ok but at the same time you go overboard with it lol but thats just you lol.

Well in sparring and bag hitting, that's not really the place to judge power. Fighters don't necessarily spar or train with full power. A lot of times it is more for conditioning, to get their body and hands moving. That's why I would refrain from mentioning power and speed.

No one really knows how hard you hit but your opponent.

My main comments as stated above still stand on making sure your head movements are with purpose and not wasted energy. As well as using feints when coming forward and using angles.

Regardless as to whether he is big or not, your advantage being shorter, smaller and faster should be speed and movement. You're taking away your own advantages by just bulling in one line straight to his chest.

Hey Reap, some nice work in there. I like your commitment to body punching and keeping ¥our hands up pretty well.

The only comments I would make as a spectator, is to use angles when you punch to the body. 99% of that was your head buried in his chest and nonstop hooks with your arms by your waist. If you would just slow down a bit, move to each side and throw hard(er) hooks with one hand while your other hand still protects your cheek, that may help more in the long run. Eventually, you will get in there with a fighter who can easily read you because you're so squared up.

The other thing is I would recommend using feints. There were numerous times where your partner could have dropped you with a counter right hand because you just fell in with yours. Feint a little, move to the side and then come in. Mix your movements up and make sure you head movement is with purpose and not just for show.

Otherwise, good job.

Just been away getting steroid injections in my fingers. Tyrant will be back...

OB will never die...

Umn, wow.
