    a slow plodding jab and grab weak chinned featherfisted slow handed long armed short man with the IQ of a potato who is a defensive master and can go the full 12. You may have just created a nightmare journeyman for featherfisted low gas tank prospects to face. You got my respect

    I have tried very hard at times to get some people to believe that there is a negligible difference between something that IS technically above average and something that is considered long.

    Love the idea. Didnt create a prototype of a specific style though, rather tried to see where I could cheap out a little bit without totally destroying his chances of being a good fighter which wasn't easy.

    Backfoot counterpuncher
    3 reach
    2 height
    4 punch speed
    3 footwork
    2 endurance
    1 chin
    4 defense
    1 recovery
    3 power
    2 ring iq

    I would watch this guy. Exciting because when he gets touched it is over, but he can surely knock lots of guys out with his counters. Preserving his low stamina on thr back foot the late fight gets even more exciting

    Additionally it would be interesting to argue which values we should assign to top fighters and which one would be the most expensive. This triggers my nerdy side

    Ali in his day was very close to the full 50

    I like this, well thought out, exciting fighter for sure, id 100% imagine a fair few knockout losses though but that counting punching hand speed with the defence could take him far

    I think it is a really interesting exercise to think about. And it becomes very clear that you can't succeed unless you're at least good at everything and great at a few.

    $25 to have that Homer Simpson chin. Once the opponent is tired a light breeze will ko them.
