The thought of people logging off once they hold a belt and never fighting again, or fighting like 1 fight a week with some random newbie makes me sick, and made me wonder like..

Couldn't Mikkel just make it so that the account with the belt must fight maybe, 3-6 matches per week, and if the account doesn't meet that quota, the belt is just forfeited? And maybe the account could have a tag on it that says it used to be a belt holder but had it forfeited cause they wouldn't fight, maybe have it just say "Ghost Belt Holder" or something?

Idk what would happen to the belt once forfeited.. If there's a ranking system, maybe the 2nd and 3rd ranked guy, once they fight each other, the winner of that takes the forfeited belt?

Idk, just a thought. It all sounds pretty rediculous and I'm just thinking of ways it could be stopped, because it's obviously going to happen in OB3D too once all that stuff gets put in there.

There already is a solution for this problem, a solution that has existed for a good while. It is called title script. It is supposed to automatically strip champion who fail to defend their titles in reasonable amount of time.

OBF title was last held by Larry Holmes. He chose to vacate it instead of defending it. Sorry Larry but that's about the truth. I do not know why he chose to do it. I can only speculate.

OBA title is held by Judah. He simply put does not defend that belt at all. Title script should have stripped him already (for not defending) but for some reason he still has that belt.

- OB Accounts: Rocky Marciano plus too many alts

- Join Date: 2007

- Status: Retired for now. Logs on every now and then just to troll.

- OB Class: A+++++ Elite and yes you got it right a FIVE STAR Elite.

- Goals: Been there, seen that, done it all so none other than reaching 1000 fights (on an alt) with above 90% win percentage I have been hunting after ever since joining OB2D.

- Titles won: too many to remember

- Title defenses: too many to remember

- Best win streak 132 wins in a row in total.

- Style: Very technical when needed to. Other than that force ko for the win!

- Signature Punch: The Rocky Marciano combo (now also available without french fries).

- Signature Taunt: Letting opponent recover back to full healt before KOing him for good.

- Weakness: Fatny, the king of OB2D

- Career highlights: Been there and done it all but yes there is one little thing that rises above all titles and such: making Reaper quit after I tkoed him 16 times in a row all inside first two rounds. We were supposed to box 100 times

- Quotes: "I just TKoed you 16 times in a row Reaper. What's the matter? Can not make is past first two rounds? Did I make you quit? Why so silent all of sudden? Oh I just made you STFU "

- Stupid nickname given by other players: Mini Fatny.

- Words of wisdom: Styles make fights. Sometimes even HOF caliber fighters lose to inferior boxers due to this fact. Everyone has their rythm and once you get inside that rythm, you will make life hell for that person (in the ring).

- PS. All signatures are stupid.
