    At first I thought it would be easy but it got really hard because I didn't just want to include 1 fighter here and there but more like 3-4 fighters here and there because of the rivalries and hypothetical match ups I want to create.

    Obviously different fighters go over to different divisions, so I'm only gonna do a fighter once, although obviously in the game they could fight in different ones (e.g. RJJ, PBF, Duran). I'm gonna go with the divisions you've got, plus 4 more in lower weights.

    Well both of you went slightly over 48 fighters, but you can now fully understand how difficult it is for the guys who make the game to get a roster that suits boxing fans in general.

    LA, Gene Tunney was one of the greatest light heavyweights(and maybe P4P fighters) of all-time so you are perfectly correct in placing him there. He only fought 3 fights at heavyweight 2 vs Dempsey and 1 defense vs Tom Heeney and then he retired with a 80(48 KO)-1 record.

    If I didn't fill the slots with fighters I put in multiple divisions I would have put in:

    Heavyweight
    1. Wladimir Klitschko

    Light heavy
    1. Tomaz Ademek
    2. Vassily Jirov
    3. Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    4. David Haye
    5. Michael Spinks

    Middleweight
    1. Nigel Benn
    2. Chris Eubank
    3. Arthur Abraham
    4. John Duddy

    Welterweight
    1. Andre Berto
    2. Aaron Pryor
    3. Henry Armstrong
    4. Kostya Tszyu

    Lightweight
    1. Alexis Arguello
