"Either" STYLE

Cap · 04-21-2022, 02:35 PM

I notice quite a few "Modern" heavyweights in my old version 2.0 are graded as "Either" when it comes to Style. Among them: Art Baylis, Eric Curry, Salvador Maciel, Richie Melito, Art Pendergrass, Adilson Rodriguez, Lou Savarese, Exum Speight, James Thunder, Danny Williams and Darroll Wilson. When I think of these guys I don't picture them as being all that versatile. Is that how they are currently regarded?

Who should be set at "EITHER" in this game? I would suggest Joe Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles probably. Floyd Patterson? Archie Moore? Ken Norton? Lennox Lewis? I'm thinking there shouldn't be that many out of all the fighters in the game. Most can be classified as BOXER or SLUGGER.

Who do you have classed as EITHER?

Norton gets placed at "either" because of his oddball stance. I always thought of him as more of a slugger but he didn't look like a conventional slugger because he put most of his weight on his front foot. Archie Moore had a similar stance but with better footwork. He didn't drag his back foot the way Norton did.

Not a HW but Crawford strikes me as an Either - he seems to box until he decides to start slugging when he wants to take the other guy out.

I'm just a wee bit surprised at how many guys were classed as EITHER in Title Bout. Not just how many, but who they were.

What were they thinking?
