Build a boxer

[ryanman]

Ok, what we have to do :

Build an ultimate boxer. Assign attributes to create the perfect boxer from recent times. (currently active or active in last 5-7 years or so). You could build one from multiple nationalities, or a specificly British, American etc one.

These are the parts :

Chin :
Handspeed:
Heart:
Body Punching:
Jab:
Defense:
Ring Brain:
Power:
Accuracy:
Stamina:

So here is my British fighter:

Chin : Wayne McCulloch
Handspeed : Joe Calzaghe
Heart : Richie Woodhall (honourable mention to Woods,McCulloch)
Body Punching : Ricky Hatton
Jab : Lennox Lewis
Defense : Johnny Nelson
Ring Brain : Lennox Lewis
Power : Naseem Hamed
Stamina : Joe Calzaghe

That looks an impressive fighter to me. So go on, have a go. You could do a British fighter, American or any country you want. Or a multi-nationality one.
I could have put more catergories but keeping it simple, hence the jab is the only punch with its own section.

[ElTerribleMorales]

Chin :Erik Morales
Handspeed:Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Heart:Arturo Gatti
Body Punching:Miguel Cotto
Jab:Jermain Taylor (early on in his career it was awesome)
Defense:Bernard Hopkins
Ring Brain:Juan Manuel Marquez (able to adapt to anything)
Power:Tito Trinidad
Accuracy:Roy Jones Jr.
Stamina:Paul Williams

IMO a perfect mixture of nationalities and styles, would be an awesome fighter

My very first post on this site way back in 2004 was more or less exactly the same as this.

Great minds and al that.
