Ob’s TOP 5 players
-
Yeah Idk just having fun
-
@Unstoppable And I will also say this, If I dominate this generation or era, I consider myself the best of all time...
-
@Unstoppable If you can catch up or even overtake Crank in h2h, then I'd definitely agree with that statement. Crank's the same guy who was giving Fatny problems at 11 years old. Almost went damn near even with him. So yeah I'd agree with that.
-
@Faker Having fought both of them at their peaks, Fatny is on another level. Me in prime self could not take Fatny as much as I can beat Crank now, but Crank is definitely nothing to be messed with lol.
-
@Faker Another thing is Fatny was outside his prime when they fought, hell I even whooped on Fatny around that same time when they were fighting.
-
@Reaper Yeah Fatny prime started January 07, thats when almost every time you log on he had a damn streak
-
My top 5 ever:
-
Fatny - Undeniably the goat, I have now been around a couple of months on the new settings, also made appearances and brief comebacks during the John days and still nobody compares to his greatness.
-
HTF/Newguy - My day1 partner, we were so bad but used to wake up everyday 5am just to fight before school and eventually we got really good. He has fastest hands in OB history along with deadly combos, almost damn near impossible to defend. He was the goat before Fatny mastered the game.
-
Unstoppable - I am going to put myself in this slot, I have played on every setting in OB history(yes I was here OB2d v1 when there was only one blue room and someone named Irish J was champ lol). I have been a top player on the power rankings at least once in every single setting. I understand John has a better h2h but many of my losses were because I had taken time off or coming back after retiring. Our battles were still close even on my losses but I will give myself the edge as I think 06-08 were my best years and anything after is semi irrelevant.
-
John - His glory days were after OB died down but still he was damn near unbeatable. He was pure boxer with deadly accuracy that made it tough to defend, he was just as sharp as Fatny and I think he would give anyone hell during any era. The reason I give him #4 here is because he did make a brief comeback but wasn’t able to take out today’s top guys, with all due respect he was not in his top form or even near it so it doesn’t count tbh. It’s just that I have come back and can beat todays top guys with consistency now.
-
Salvador Sanchez/Happy Killmore - If Sal were to log in to the HTF account and fight, one could hardly tell the difference between the two. Both were very dominant with speed and efficiency that have been unmatched to this day in history. Honestly 3-5 on the lists are interchangeable, he would be even higher if he didn’t alt all the time back in the days because I never knew who I was fighting. This dude used to make new accounts and go like 150-2 then never play on it again, and mind you this was during OB glory days.
Honorable mentions:
-
Labratory - Could have easily been top 5 and may be in some lists already. He was actually considered the goat during his prime and that was above fighters like Larry Holmes, Sal Sanchez, Mike Tyson(prime Tyson)
-
Jermain Taylor - Honestly to me is #2 all time behind Fatny but he did soooo much work so fast and early and his career was considered short. I honestly think JT is Fatny, the timeline of events definitely aligns with it being him. He was even better than HTF before he disappeared.
-
Larry Holmes - Considered the goat by many older players. Old man Larry as we knew him was around for every setting besides our current day settings and he used to dominate. His best settings were ob2d v1 and early ob2d v2. I hear he was the goat in Ob1 as well. I’ve learned so much from him I think we have the most H2H battles in history of OB. FIG will forever live.
-
Crank- There are whispers of him and his running mate Faker to join OB HOF and there is no denying Crank is the cream of the crop of this new age OB. Very tough defense with accuracy and speed, his story in OB history is still being written, he may be ahead of some others I mentioned in this list already but I just can’t disrespect the OG vets because I think they would be some good fights.
-
Nigel Benn/ Prime Mike Tyson/sugarray/Faker

@ProfsBack Ummm yeah bro you need to come up off that belt. I've been on waiting to see you throughout the days. Only saw that you came on once at like 2am like 2 days ago. This is after you said "I will be on tomorrow" when you won the title. As an OB vet, you know better, no sitting on titles.....
-
@ProfsBack Also we have a discord if you want to message the group at any time to get on, so there is literally no excuse.
-
@ProfsBack Thank you for the compliments and you certainly made some fair points. My run will always be diluted due to the population of the game at that time. I know that every one will not see me as a top 3 fighter of all time or the GOAT. And that's totally fine as that is yours and everyone else's opinions.There's tons of great fighters that we've had over OB's history. Any discussion that involves different era's will end with discussions like these. It is correct that there were some HOF'ers that made brief comebacks during or after my HOF run. A lot of them had a hard time beating me. Obviously they came close to beating me or had surely beat me as my style can be caught on easily and exploited at times.
Larry Holmes told me i was the luckiest player ever as every match i had against him during my run i did my signature KO on him. Every time. I haven't seen him since then, which was very unfortunate as i wanted more people to come back and have fun with the game again. I did everything that i could to keep the game interesting and alive for as long as i could.
Fatny and I were near neck to neck on rounds. He would get the majority of the round wins though as he's Fatny. Not much else you can do besides stick to what you do best against the guy and hope you can catch him slipping. He will always be my toughest opponent and my true rival in this game. Beating him is like beating a game at it's hardest difficulty with all of the available modifiers to make your life a living hell.
Unstoppable was and still is a beast, and we kicked each other's asses till we both had zero stamina left every time to the point where we had take rounds off just playing defense for me ass kicking later. .
HTF briefly came back under a different name or names, can't truly confirm that, but we had some solid matches and he gave me props from how far i've come since 2007-2008.
Sal, Lab, and several honorable mentions came back and couldn't keep up.
My personal Top 5 opponents would be
- Fatny
- No explanation needed
- Unstoppable
- There were times where i couldn't hit him or outpunch him. Too fast, great accuracy, and good defense.
- Crank
- Had some solid battles for sure. Definitely got the edge on me here and there with well timed counters and great boxing. Very capable of charging in for inside slugging, but does more damage when he's slipping and countering..
- Faker
- He's my protege, he knows my moves and likes using them against me damn it.
- Salvador-Sanchez
- He dominated during 2008 under alts and he simply could not be touched. Couldn't outbox, outslug, or hit him at all. He held the game hostage at one point with all of the titles, al lwhile doing it either tipsy or drunk.
Honorable mentions in no order
HTF, Fernando Vargas, Mikkel, Reaper, Red Viper, Dick E. Boon (200ms+ ping), TheMadMan, Nigel Benn, Larry HolmesI'm sure HTF, Sal, and Larry would have been higher on my list if i was able to play against them more during their primes.
