Boxer Profiles
Dear boxing fans,
Gygax and I got the idea to create boxer profiles. We will be posting ours, and we wish to encourage you to participate by either posting yours, commentating on the ones being posted by others, etc.
What do we mean by profiles? Our intention is to rate the boxer's abilities by categories. Below these categories are listed and explained in short, feel free to let us know, if you wish to see some added to this list (please post it in this thread, thanks):
Name: the boxer's name
Nationality: American, French, ...?
Alias / Nickname: Boxers have several ones in some cases, just list them all in chronological order
Weight: example - Roy Jones: 152 - 193 lbs., currently 175 lbs.
Date of Birth: self-explaining
Status: retired or active?
Height: some boxers lie about that
Stance: Orthodox or Southpaw
Speed: quick on his feet, slow punches, quick upper body moves, ...
Power: general power (1 punch knockout and in combinations)
Footwork: is he a dancer in the ring?
Chin: can he take a punch?
Defense: does he know how to avoid punches, how to protect himself?
Offense: is he an agressive fighter with a good punch arsenal? is he effective with his punches, accurate?
Ring Generalship: is he the boss in the ring?
Heart: does he quit often or fight till he dies? Determination
Potential: has the boxer lived up to his potential, or could he have done so much more?
Additional Information: add something that needs to be said
General: general rating, summarizing the data above
The ones in blue should be text only (including numbers), the green ones should be scale (10=great, 1=horrible) plus a one-sentece desciption, the last general one should be 'scale only'.
For each boxer a new thread will be created.
Any questions, comments, criticism ... please in this thread.
Example Profile:
Name: Fantasio Imaginatio
Nationality: Italian
Alias: The Example
Weight: 168 lbs. - 211 lbs. , currently 175 lbs.
Date of Birth: 03/01/2006
Status: retired 2006
Height: 6'2''
Stance: Southpaw
Speed:*7* Very quick hands, not so fast on his feet.
Power: *9* Knockout power in both hands, be it single punches or combinations.
Footwork: *4* He is walking around, basically, most of the time.
Chin: *10* Has never been hurt or floored in his entire career as a professional boxer.
Defense: *1* He blocks punches with his head.
Offense: *9* Swings liks a madman, but is effective with it due to his accuracy and variety.
Ring Generalship: *3* He gets pushed to the ropes quite often, gets bullied around.
Heart: *10* If it is "Lose or Die", he dies.
Potential: He could have been an all-time Great but messed up his life.
Additional Information: ...........
General: -*8*-

Just to add to this...
Anyone can add any boxer to the profiles. Past, present, up & coming, champion, chump, it doesn't matter. Also, everyone is free to add to an existing profile.
These are for fun, but try to be as honest as possible. Even if its your favorite fighter of all time, no one should have 10's across the board.
My first should be up this afternoon.

How about if we added "Rhythm"? Some people are robotic without a good balance, while others punch and move to a beat only they hear.

I think you guys should add a pic w/ the profile, because some people may find it easier to relate facts to a face rather than a name (one of these people being myself.) Then again, I could just look it up on google or youtube. But, just a suggestion.
