I don't post very often, but I simply had to Echo your comment on Richard Hanna. In fact, I wish that some of us would again "gang up" on Richard to revise and update his own boxing simulation, whose engine I maintain is the best that I've seen in any boxing sim to this day ... including TBCB! I'd written to him once some years ago, and he dug through some old notes to give me all of the details behind rating boxers in his sim so that I could accurately rate my own. It was marvelous the way the attribute categories all worked together to create a complete and accurate profile of a fighter. If not for needing the ability to adjust some referee tendencies (fights had a habit of being called too often), and needing a slightly more realistic representation of punch output ... that engine blows away all of the other games on the market, and i've played MANY. Cheers to Richard, and good call Professor!
