Well, I did that before.....can be a modern fighter also, but since this is the Historic Boxing Forum, I think mostly we´ll name old fighters.....

Essentially name a fighter and rate him based on the following categories:


Jab-
Hook-
Cross-
Uppercut-
Defensive skills-
Offensive skills-
Footwork-
Counter-Punches-
Power-
Speed-
Ring Generalship-
Combinations-
Feints-
Accuracy-
Timing-
Killer Instinct-
Body Punches-
Upper Body movement-
Chin-
Heart-
Stamina-
In-Fighting-
Range Fighting-
Opposition level-


Scale (choose the scale you want...this is just an example) :
1- VERY poor
2- Poor
3- maybe poor
4- Below Average
5 –just average
6- above average
7- Good enough
8- very good
9- Excellent
10-THE best, GREAT !

:good:

Yes teeto. :good

Great post......I need to watch more Zapata.
Larry Holmes



Jab- 10 (One of the best in the history of the divsion)
Hook- 6 (Larry was never a great hooker, always remarked myself on the fact he lacked a left hook)
Cross- 9 (Marvellous straight right hand)
Uppercut- 8
Defensive skills- 7 (Showed some decent slipping ability from time to time, never really took too many shots)
Offensive skills- 7 (Good offensively but not much variety)
Footwork- 6 (Not one of Larry's strongest facets, could get sloppy)
Counter-Punches- 5
Power- 7 (Slightly underrated, but not the best the division has seen)
Speed- 8
Ring Generalship- 9
Combinations- 6 (Kind of sporadically put his shots together, normally just a 1-2)
Feints- 5
Accuracy- 8
Timing- 8
Killer Instinct- 9 (Larry had underrated killer instinct, when he got his man hurt, usually it didn't go the distance.)
Body Punches- 4 (Never really possesed a body attack)
Upper Body movement- 7
Chin- 9
Heart- 10 (Well he kept getting up against Tyson, that's good enough for me!)
Stamina- 8
In-Fighting- 5
Range Fighting- 9
Opposition level- 8 (One of the better Heavyweight resumes)

Never done one of these before so accuracy might be an issue :yep. Let me know what you guys would change.
Man, I agree with everything you said !
I would say opposition level 7 though......but 8 sounds very fair as well.....

Jab-10
Hook-10
Cross-9
Uppercut-7
Defensive skills-7
Offensive skills-9
Footwork-10
Counter-Punches-6
Power-7 (am I underrating Ortiz here ?)

All good points teeto, really...

I couldn´t remember too well of his feints when I put the 6 there.....wasn´t sure when I did it.
I think I´m a bit too harsh with the grades.....
Probably I should have put a higher grade in his defensive skills as well....
