@King John
John represents the renaissance of OB. Not only his skills are amazing, but his dedication to keep this game interesting and alive. The thing with John is that he's just so extremely accurate, both in offense and in defense and you better move your head a lot because he also happens to be one of the best finishers ever. I was there when he first won the title, I was watching over his shoulder when he bullied all competition, I was there when he became a HOF'er. John is something special and I told him this when he won his first title. John is the spark that became a flame that turned into a devastating fire. Apart from being a great guy he never stepped down from a challenge and always looked to square off against OB's best to further improve his skills. Many HOF'ers made short comebacks during the year John reigned OB, only to be knocked out by Big Bad John. A fine addition to the HOF indeed. ~Dick E. Boon & Fatny

RE: Crank and Faker for HOF
I approve for both. Definite yes for Crank. Well deserved at this point. Faker semi yes semi no. I feel like of the two, Crank won the battle, but i can understand Faker getting in too*. He has developed in to a great fighter capable of beating HOFers. I'm sure they both would give Fatny a run for his money, maybe haha.

RE: Ob’s TOP 5 players
@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.

RE: New Server & Paypal maybe?
I get 39 ms ping to Montreal. Sounds like that could be the best spot then.

RE: Server location suggestion (Qassimiut, Greenland)
I think Greenland is probably the best option. My average ping to Nuuk servers was 97ms. I want to say that Qassimiut will probably be 90ms roughly. I'm interested to see what Sniper's ping would be at.

RE: Crank for HOF.
@Reaper Not weak when it's the truth. He's a great fighter and i personally think he should have been in the HOF based on what he was able to accomplish. But my opinion on that may differ from others.

RE: Crank for HOF.
@Reaper He's never truly dominated the game. You wouldn't see him always on the front page of OB holding the titles. He's more than capable of winning and defending the titles. He's an excellent offensive threat no doubt about that. He can KO someone in an instant. The only time i remembered him to be #1 was 2008, but that was short lived. He was terrible at defense to the point where he would lose to really bad/non trying fighters. In these current settings, he wouldn't be able to stand a chance against Crank or Faker. He'd lose so much stamina that they'd pick him apart before he can attempt a combo attack. If you put everything together that he's accomplished, it's hard to argue that he isn't HOF worthy. That's really all i got on that.

RE: Crank for HOF.
@The-Sniper I think Crank should be inducted in to the HOF.

RE: Crank for HOF.
@Reaper Well i have always said that Viper should have been in the HOF long ago. I can understand why he wasn't though. I know 2008 he was damn near unstoppable to beat as stamina was non-existent in those settings. It was a slugfest bloodbath every fight. Very fun times those were.
