Draft Thread - BOA Boxing League - Draft is complete

[Lee]

We will conduct the draft in this thread and the order for all 8 rounds is listed below. I used random numbers to select the first round, with the remaining rounds following a snake format (1st to 8th, 2nd to 1st, etc)


Each set of two picks is 'married' so if you select a fighter rated as a 9 with your first pick, your second pick must be a 6. You also can only have one fighter from each of the 8 eras listed in the rules page, as well as only one fighter of each rating.
Draft eras (based on career start in the game)

• Pre-1900
• 1900-1915
• 1916-1930
• 1931-1945
• 1946-1960
• 1961-1975
• 1976-1990
• 1991-2005

	Odd round Pick Rating	Even round Pick Rating must equal
1	15	0
2	14	1
3	13	2
4	12	3
5	11	4
6	10	5
7	9	6
8	8	7

When you have completed your pick, please send a PM to the player selecting after you, so they know they are up. I will also change the title or bump the thread to indicate the next pick as I am able. No time limit, but would like to get through the draft by end of next weekend if possible, so please remember to send your PM's to whoever picks after you each round


Removed draft log from this post, easier to keep a running log as we go.

[Jeff1787]

Tulsa takes Rocky Marciano...14 rating...1946-1960

Jeff

[Lee]

Updated to add Chilidogs in place of Roughnecks.

[Hanson Bros]

Deland will take Jack Dempsey 14

[Chillidog]

I was greatly debating the makeup of my stable of boxers due to the rules that only 5 of our 8 boxers will compete in each round, and that this selection was going to be random. trying to weigh the merits of various strategies, but with current events this debate and selection was made easy for me

So in Honor and in Memory of "the Greatest"

the Chillidogs with their first selection, choose

Muhammad "the Greatest" Ali,

Muhammad Ali - 15

go get 'em Champ wherever you may now reside

Having to choose between all of these legends was no easy decision. But to stay in the same spirit as Chilidog and in honor of one of, if not the greatest rivalry of all time, the Philadelphia Brawlers selects:

Philadelphia native...

Smokin' Joe Frazier - 13

I'll PM Harlem 8

Now let's get some momentum

[bob_bask]

Harlem 8 take Joe Louis (14).

[Romdawg88]

Sorry, haven't had a chance to check the board till now the Muckboys will take Gene Tunney 13 with our first pick.

[IceTea]

Mike Tyson

[CONN CHRIS]

I'll take George Foreman (Young George).

[Lee]

Chris,

In my data base (offical- or i should say my data base that only has TBCB fighters/updates - which he is rated as a 9) I only have what is listed as "second career" , do not want to side track this thread, so could you PM me with George's "1st career" (pre-retirement), I would greatly appreciate it as i would prefer to use this rating in my own universe as well

[Golden_Sombrero]

Brawlers takes Hoot Burger

I do not have it either. It seems to have been deleted from the downloadable database. Lee must have it, perhaps he can help.
