Build a boxer

[Master]

Which bit of "recent" did you not understand.

Guys, guys. Recent fighters please. Mine was all british and all from the last five years. He is the weakest of the lot now!
So recent fighters, and either all the parts from one nationality, British, USA, Mexico or whatever, or a multi-national one.

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.

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.
