Do you guys mind putting your REAL OB(s) in your signature?

Just so that people can recognize you. I am NOT refering to your login name, but your name that shows up on the rankings. Your display name.

Thank you

Colleges OWNZ your money...

I know the feeling...

I am thinking of some sort of a "Spring Swing & Sting" Tournament or possibly seeing if I can put together some sort of one-two days Online Boxing reunion.

The tournament of course pitting active fighters to battle it out.

or

The reunion to someone bring together guys from the past and present together for a series of "mythical" matches or "reliving the greats" matches.

Who wouldn't love to see an old crusty Larry Holmes vs Mike Tyson? Or Sal-ly Jesse Raphael vs Jermain Taylor? Or even Here To Fight vs Labratory.

Who knows. It is a consideration. But for the reunion, I would need help tracking some down.

I wouldn't mind battle Godfather again myself...

I wonder whos at the top of the list with the most championship/fights rounds hehe.

Yeah Here To Fight slash NewGuy....I wonder...

I personally say...let them post what they want to for now...especially the new ones...don't want them to run away while they are new...build up the community

well I am not going to update it everytime someone has a fight...it would be months before each fighter is updated...not really much point in adding numbers if they don't change by the hundreds or thousands...

Larry Holmes leads the pack by far

Undisputed Champion of Online Boxing
-achieved by holding ALL three major titles of Online Boxing. That includes the OBA, OBF, and OBC titles consecutively.

1. Sugarray
2. Labratory
3. M.A.Barrera (2)
4. Salvador Sanchez (Ricky Hatton, Happy Kilmore) (3)
5. Here To Fight (NewGuy) (4)
6. Larry Holmes
7. Unstoppable (2)
8. Fatny

(#) - number of times the player as won or regained all 3 titles from scratch. Meaning losing all 3 titles and winning them back to unify.

Super Champion of Online Boxing
-achieved by holding ALL three major titles of Online Boxing AND one regional title consecutively OR holding all 4 major titles consecutively.

1. Sugarray
2. M.A.Barrera (2)
3. Larry Holmes
4. Here To Fight (NewGuy) (3)
5. Unstoppable (2)
6. Fatny
7. Salvador Sanchez (Ricky Hatton) (2)

This is NOT official, but it has basically been a staple in the way title fights have been handled in OB for years.

1) If an established champion loses the title, he gets an immediate rematch if he wants it.

-If the former champion loses the rematch, then the new champion reserves the right not to defend it again immediately. He won the title, and retained it vs the former champion. The new champion is CLEARLY the new champion.

-If the former champion wins the rematch, then he still reserves the right to not defend it immediately vs the person he just lost and won it back from. HOWEVER, it is the respectful thing to settle the dispute in a trilogy. Regardless of whether you lost the title to a random KO unexpectedly, then won the rematch through dominance. You are 1-1 and it is respectful to settle it to determine who deserves the title.

*again, this is not official, just the way it has been for years in OB.

A couple of other notes:

-If you plan to log on and fight for the title, you SHOULD expect to fight a couple of fights. Not log on, suddenly win the title by KO, and then say you have to go. We can all say "ah, it is JUST a game", but in reality it is frustrating.

-If you log on, win the title, and then successfully defend it immediately vs the former champion, you don't have to defend it against them agaim immediately. Some will pressure you into only defending the title vs them 2, 3, 4 times so that hopefully they can get a win.

In conclusion, when it comes to the title, just set out to prove you are the better fighter that day or part of the day.

This is just "traditional" stuff, none of these are "set" rules because it is impossible right now to expect everyone to follow them. This just lets you guys know of what's respectful and what is not.

EDIT: added by Mikkel

Since this question comes up alot:
Here are the rules for title matches as it is today
1) A fight can only be considered a title defense if the contender is in the top 20
2) A champion that doesn't defend within 8 days will be stripped and the vacant title will be given to the highest ranked fighter.
3) If you are given a vacant title you have 24 hours to defend it..after your first defense you have 8 days

Hope this clears things up.
