Would anyone be interested in this if me and a couple of other heads put together a league/point system for a potential Fantasy Boxing League.. I'm in the process of working out rules and a few other details with Scholar and we're seeing if anyone would wanna join in on the idea.
I'm leaning towards maybe 8-10 posters.. Of course if more wanted to join, it'd be even better. Reply on here and I'll make a list of who you are and send you the ideas through a PM and how it'd work.

That's 5 so far.. We'll maybe try to get 3 more in since I don't see much interest thus far.. I'll go over some things with yall and update the initial post
Here are preliminary rules/scoring of the idea we've had..
OVERVIEW:
Team owners will create a lineup by choosing fighters listed in the fighter pool
Total points accumulated at the end of the week(After Saturday night's fights)
Player pool will be active fighters. Roy Jones, Shane Mosley, Erik Morales, James Toney(part-time fighters) will be excluded. Fighters suspended for drug violations will be excluded until their suspension is up
If a fighter isn't in the player pool and moves up in the rankings; he will then replace the fighter that's last on the list.
We will use the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF & TBRB Top Ten Rankings(Subject to change because I'd like to use a top 25-50 rather than only a top 10)
If a scheduled fight is canceled, you may choose to add a fighter from the same card(If he's not taken) or get an extra fight for the following week's bouts.
ROSTERS:
Rosters will consist of 10 Fighters. Any division, no max
No Limit on Add/Drop transactions
Trades will have to be voted by the other team owners. Majority rules.
If a boxer is injured, suspended(failed drug tests or medically) you can keep him on your team, add another boxer, but once he's cleared to resume boxing activities you will have to drop 1 boxer from you team.
SCORING RULES:
Fighters in each event will accumulate points as follows:
Scoring:
Jabs Landed: 0.5 PTS
Power Punches Landed: 1 PT
Knockdowns(KD): 5 PTS
Split or Majority Decision Win(SD/MD): 2 pts
Unanimous Decision Win(UD): 3 pts
Knockout Win(KO or TKO): 10 PTS
Fight Goes to the Cards due to an infraction after the 4th RD(Win): 1 PT
Draw/No Contest Decision: 0 PTS
Getting Knocked Down: -5 PTS
Split Decision or Majority Decision Loss(SD/MD Loss): -2 PTS
Unanimous Decision Loss(UD Loss): - 3 PTS
Knockout Loss(KO or TKO): -10 PTS
Fight Goes to the Cards due to an infraction after the 4th RD(Loss): -1 PT
Bonuses:
1st-3rd Round Finish/Stoppage: 10 PTS
4th-6th Round Finish/Stoppage: 7 PTS
7th-9th Round Finish/Stoppage: 5 PTS
10th-12th Round Finish/Stoppage: 3 PTS
Scoring Notes:
Compubox/ShoStats are the scoring criteria we'll use to deterrmine jabs/power punches landed by official scorers.
Player Lock Notes: All fighters lock 1 hour before their scheduled fight card begins.
Still contemplating how to do a draft. How many fighters to put in the fighter pool and if we should do a draft each month for the next month's fights(all fighters included) or do it like a fantasy basketball/football type league and you keep the guys you draft and add/drop throughout the year. Maybe not use jabs/power punches etc etc
I'd be interested. I tried doing something similar myself, but hardly anyone took part
