Two Arctic fighters that I made, one from a very obscure series about a time traveling warship and another whose sole mention is one line in The Simpsons.
First is Kandemir Troyak, a Russian marine from Chukchi who serves as the primary muscle/direct action protagonist on the ship. As he's been through quite a lot, I gave him high rankings. Second is the "Eskimo Fellow" that Mr. Burns mentioned as seeing fight Jim Corbett for 113 rounds. From this one line, I made him an ultra-defensive fighter with iffy stats everywhere else (think a heavyweight, rich man's Joe Grim) Kandemir Troyak HW Boxer 9 Burns' Alaskan HW Boxer 5 |

Another fun what-if, this time of Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Bob Gibson.

Now for a historical figure (yes, really). Alexander the Great, who I portrayed as a mega-swarmer.

Another The Wire character, here a minor and doomed enforcer that I made into a tomato can.

Now for the goofiest fighter yet, one of the infamous movie Predators. Ultra-high physical stats, yet lower skill ones to signify its lack of knowledge with human boxing and a surprisingly low "killer instinct" to signify a desire for a "fair" (by its standards) fight.

Two more novelties from a romantic visual novel that has nothing to do with boxing. John Brandon, an actor who's physically capable enough to do (basic) boxing, and a novelty gag of the mean-looking Professor Couvalt as being an ex-prizefighter.

And now a boxing version of the legendary wrestler Mick Foley. There's a lot of both wrestling/grappling (high clinch and inside fighting) and Joe Grim (much better at simply taking hits than doing anything else) in this card.

Another famous non-boxer athlete who I got the idea to make a fighter after seeing an image of him in boxing gloves.

More non-boxers, a past baseball legend and a current basketball one. I give you Walter Johnson and Giannis Antetokounmpo. I built both of them on similar principles, although "Big Train" is significantly worse than the "Greek Freak" in terms of stats. Both are offense-first fighters who can dish it out better than they can take it (after all, their arms have/had lots of power in them) and both have a higher-than-usual control factor which was my way of taking their very long arm length into account.

Thanks again for these Coiler. I'm surprised you haven't done Charles Barkley yet. He didn't mind mixing it up every now and then

Glad you like them. And here's another weird basketball-turned-boxing one, Neon Boudeaux from Blue Chips, famously played by Shaquille O'Neal. I figured using a fictional character would give me more leeway to do a "Boxer of Shaq's size".

Mr. Dream, the replacement final boss of Punch-Out after Tyson's licensing deal expired. Clearly patterned visually on Rocky Marciano, and thus I tried to incorporate elements of both him and Tyson himself into the boxer.

Two goofy characters from the final battle of Will Smith's Wild Wild West. "Shovel Guy", a marginal martial artist, and "Metal Plate", a lumbering cyborg who is durable and strong but incredibly slow (reflected in a very low control factor).

After making the villains in Wild Wild West, I decided I had to make the protagonist as well.

Mr. Sandman from Punch Out. I included both his NES (high-level contender) and Wii (cheap final boss) versions.

Decided to go even more out-there with Madotsuki, the protagonist of the surreal horror video game Yume Nikki. A female strawweight, I decided to take advantage of her alternate interpretations by making two ratings-one a meek 0-rated tomato can that matches the shut-in and the other a 4-rated "knife effect" psychotic fighter.
