I wrote Viper is the one who took care of the rivalry long ago, not vice versa. You make it look like you were the better fighter but stats don´t lie. In the last 10 fights you guys had Viper knocked you out 8 times. Enough said. It further proves the point why Vipers presence is missed. He´s a great fighter.

This thread is about why Viper should come back. Nobody is talking about you. Maybe you can create an alt and start your own thread why Rocky should come back

5. Salvador or Rocky Marciano

- What can I say? I just happen to appriciate my own skills and know I have beaten everybody but Fatny silly. My game is very technical and what I call a complete game. Very good defense, very good boxing and very good slugging. I use these skill very intelligently, which frustrates some players as they are used to opponents rushing in only to get KO'ed when in red. It drives some people mad as they realize I am not going to fall into some stupid trap and/or am not going to make any stupid mistakes. Attack when you can afford it and can deal effective damage - fall back when it is a losing deal for you. Yet despite all this I dont make it any higher than this. While some of the other fighters might have more holes in their game, they make it up by having extreme skills in other areas they are able to take advantage of.

OMG, narcism is its purest form. We actually do agree on Fatny being the best ever. And I would add John to the top 5 as well.

The link I posted speaks for itself. Case closed.

Been there and seen that. Good thing I took care of that rivalry long ago

Hmm wouldn´t it be wiser to say Viper took care of that rivalry long ago:

No comments other than this is exactly the reason we want Viper to come back. He´s OB´s biggest KO artist and makes top players like myself cry when he connects.

He ended several careers Fatny, but for sure he will always be remembered for his rivalries with Yacoob and Rocky.

I miss Vipers agressive style. When you were in a fight with him he came to knock you out asap, not to outjab you.

I agree.

Still around as well with my body jabs and rather slow internet connection. Other vets still around are Fatny, Black Bear, Viper (although not as active as back in the days where he retired people), Slugger, Ken Norton, Trpche, USA. So quite a list!

"dickz_rulez@yahoo.com" isn´t me Mikkel! It could have been though.

What about not taking any substance, not even creatine. Take notice that if you build a lot of muscles now and one day you stop training, you will bulk out and look fat. I recommend to work out without weights, without any substance that makes you look ´ripped´ or whatever and not to over train.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you Viper. But you are still a legend of the game. The Royce Gracie of OB.

Yesterday I saw John and Fatny go at it. Great fights! John has the edge for now but don´t count out Mr Perfect Fatny.

This fight will go the ground real quick and Toney will be helpless there.
