I only have access to fighters who were active in 1991 and prior to that.

There is some list of modern fighters that somebody linked me to where you can have older fighters fight the newer ones in Title Bout but I didn't really figure out quite how to do that yet. Not even sure I really want to.

Thats like saying USA would be the Aussies in Basketball or American Football. Considering we dont play rugby or cricket and ou guys dont play Bball or Football, its unfair. Comparing apples and oranges.

Yeah I know,.. but there are some American Rugby League Players around these days and they are very keen to improve. I can see a time when they will begin to play some good footy, just like the Aussies who have done well out of basketball (not in US class but done ok in some recent olympics). All you need are some talented athletes and you have some gargantuan sized guys out there. The beauty of league though is that it takes players of different sizes and shapes to make a team, you need real hard men with size and mobility who can go non-stop for at least 40 minutes as enforcers, two shorter but very tough and agile halves with twice the nous needed to be the field Marshalls, and some real long legged speedsters with hands like glue..... And Then they have to do it all with very little protection and no helmets and run smack bang into each other at a sprint, then leave some time for some brawling and busted faces,........ it's a bit like 13 boxers on each team and there's a ball thrown in to make it interesting. -------------------------------- It's quite simple really.

I wont call Carnera a b level competition though...

And by the by Rocky's KO percentage against ranked contenders is better than against non ranked contenders. He knocked out almost all of the ranked contenders he faced...

His power was an exception, since his Ko percentage did not diminish when he faced ranked contenders, unlike say Shavers..who was more the norm excellent against non ranked guys not so much against ranked contenders.

Great point. I can't think of many that have their K.O percentages go up when facing harder competition.

Rocky could HIT. I think his power came from doing so much manual labor at a young age or maybe from baseball
