Boy, where do you guys find these fighters? I saw a post from you last year, I think, TUNNEY from Steubenville, Ohio (my neck of the woods)... great.
You have him rated and even remember him with a LOSING RECORD -- I'm very impressed.
I can't wait to get started with this game -- I'm just getting into it now.
I look forward to taking some of everyone's fighters here...
Just to be clear, would I simply take the attached files and install it directly into the fighter database or should I set up a new database for created fighters?

Welcome to the forum! You'll "meet" a lot of great boxing fans here. Many more that no so much more then I do! I believe your going to love TB. It's really a fun. I've enjoy it just learning about all the fighters of days gone by. There's many here who've contributed many new fighters for TB, some who have done WAY more then I. My main interest in boxing is with the heavyweights and to a lesser degree the light heavies, thus most of what you see me doing ratings on are in those two divisions. Check out some of the other threads to find many more fighters in other divisions if that's your interest also.
I find the records for the guys where probably most everyone looks and thats the BoxRec website (
www.boxrec.com). Check it out. You'll love it.
As far as the new fighters you import into the game, it's a matter I guess what you want to do eventually in the game. I think I made a copy of the game database and made it the one that I put all my fighters in. Gamers who run universes will create other data bases to do that and maybe keep one "main" data base to store all thier fighters because many of the "universes" you see talked about on these forums, use only certain fighters or they use only certain weight divisions. Look around some of the other General discussion threads and ask around about doing that kind of thing with the game. I myself have never set up a universe. Most of my time with TB is rating new guys and just running random fights and tournaments and such. These figthers I'm creating now for this 67 replay is going to be to do a replay of heavyweight fights in 1967 and then hopefully beyond into 1968 and 69. The way I think I'm going to do it is as a sort of "what if" Ali had not been stripped of his heavyweight title in 1967 and had fought on though 1967 thru 1970? How would heavyweight boxing been different though those years and even beyond?
Thanks for taking a look at some of my "creations". Hope you enjoy using them in however you end up enjoying TB.
