Top 10 power rankings / September

This message was edited 5 times. Last update was at 31/10/2007 16:29:12

Dear all,

I have decided to make power rankings a monthly feature. There is no need to release rankings weekly or bi weekly. A month is long enough time for anyone to really improve or decline and just not have bad or good luck streak.

Next rankings will be released one month from now on.

When I have enough data collected I will make these rankings into excel spread sheet so that I can draw out some statistical data.

and without further ado to the actual rankings! There are some significant changes.

Top 10 power rankings for September 2007:

1. Nigel Benn
2. Untoppable
3. HTF
4. Squeezed Head
5. Larry Holmes
6. Black Bear
7. Red Viper
8. Flash
9. Boxa
10. Rocky Marciano

Explanation of rankings:

1. Nigel Benn

- What can anyone say? He has been on fire lately.

2. Unstoppable

- Simply put he would be Unstoppable if only Nigel was not here.

3. HTF

- Will he retire or not is the big question. Everyone hopes he will remain and be here when titles are released. Contender for titles but has also some competition.

4. Squeezed Head

- Deadly accurate with his punching. Make no mistake this guy has complete game but likes to box more than slug.

5. Larry Holmes

- The grand old man of onlineboxing. No other man deserves as much respect as Larry. However the truth is that lately competition has gotten tougher. Everyone has upped their skills. Larry has found it somewhat though to adjust to this situation where new generation has upped their skill and some old vets have returned and on top form.

6. Black Bear

- Black Bear and Red viper share the places 6 and 7. Some people say that Black Bear has better style for title fights but Red Viper is getting to the point where even top ranked opponents have hard time taking him to later rounds. Black Bear still takes 6th spot due to his wides skill range but it is close... very close.

7. Red Viper

- Ranked 7th is Red Viper. This guy deserves respect and get's it now. The truth is that he could as well be ranked 6th. He is the KO artist of onlineboxing. He goes for TKO or KO and that's about it. No point fights for him. He'll KO/TKOyou or get's koed/TKO. Make no mistake... he will be the one doing all that KOing.

8. Flash

- Flash is getting his game together. If he can only adjust his game to deal with super sluggers and KO artists suchs as Red Viper then he will move to top 5 for sure. This guy is good so expect big things from him on the future.

9. Boxa

- Boxa is back with a gym of him own called BxA.
He is getting back there and upping his skills. Only time will tell what sparring with his gym members will do to his skills.

10. Rocky Marciano

- The former P4P hitman. He has been somewhat missing in action and is on decline but can still hold his own enough to be ranked 10th. In future he'll drop out of top 10 if he does not box more to get his timing back.

Just out of top 10 September rankings:

11. Tyrant

- Very skilled fighter and winner of last official OB tournament. Definately champion material but for some reason has been very inconsistent with his performances in the ring lately. If he can shake that inconsistency off we'll definately see big things from Tyrant again in the near future.

12. USA

- Skilled fighter who just needs to get his game back together. Most likely will do excatly that and be ranked mid to high in next rankings.

13. Reaper

- Love him or hate him (well most just hate him) he is closing in on top 10. The guy has some skills but also has trouble in getting any win streaks against top 10 fighters which drops him out of top 10. Can get a win against anyone but then again anyone can lose. Prospect for top 10 in the future.

Up and comers:

1. Ray Jhonson

- Now this guy can defend. If he ever learn how to hit back while keeping that defense of his then he will be a big time threath to anyone.

2. Oscar De La Hoya

- Oscar has skills there is no doubt. As a member of BxA it is likely that he will be back up in top 10.

Mod please lock this thread. This will be monthly feature and the publisher and editor is me. IF anyone wants to make suggestions or comments PM me.

Also please let this remain as sticky till next month when rankings for October are release.

erm why? u already did power rankings why do u need to bother doing anymore? meh everyone does there own now anyway

I think it is a good idea to give his power rankings a chance on a month to month basis...

however, I wouldn't lock the thread

kool rocky ill be up ther soon anouth

So where is Feroz on this list? I've seen him play recently and haven't seen HTF in a while..

Viper is good, but the second he's in trouble he either runs, gets KO'ed or still attacks in the worst of situations. I don't think he's a top fighter, maybe his brawling skills are elite worthy but his boxing is probably bad.

Also, thanks for putting me on the up and comers. Unrecognized skill goes.. unrecognized really.. I promise to work on my counter attack and pressure. I stopped playing for a while and got ridiculously rusty, i believe Oscar has the skills to beat me these days.

Nice idea a monthly one would be good, glad you dropped me out of this one, i'm doing terrible recently too inactive

I'd still put me above Ray though

HTF had enough "recent enough" figths on his record to make the top 10.

As far as Viper goes he has good record against peole in top 10. His style in one dimensional but it works for him. Anyway results and records matter not personal opinions when I make the rankings.

Just wait one month for October rankings and then we will get fresh ranks with people who are not online enough dropped off. Have to start from somewhere...

Feroz is very good but did not make it this time. Just for the record teh actual top 10 ranks are done by comparing statistics etc. everything else such as up and comers are just my personal opinions.

Squeezed Head maybe should be higher since hes a better fighter then nigel but i gues this goes on how active u are.

Huh? I thought these were the top 10 fighters, not the most active. If it were, you'd be #1 no doubt.

It goes on Skillz, and i'd say Nigel is alot better then Squeezed although they both kick sprite outa me so I can't really judge.

tisk tisk tisk...im still not in Top 10 but i constantly beat top ppl

and i think tht HTF gets in everyones top 10 off his name i mean cmon he was retired and still in ppls top 10 dont get me wrong he still beats every1s arse even mine but shouldnt it be based off activity/fight skills?

if its for september shouldnt it be posted at the end of the month?

all i gotta say is that this is nothin but an opinion it dont mean nothin so aint no point in arguin

I haven't seen you fight in a while. So shouldn't you be off there for the same reasons as HTF?
