"John represents the renaissance of OB. John stepped up and filled the vacuum Fatny left behind. Not only his skills are amazing, also his dedication to keep this game interesting and alive. I was there when he first won the title, I was watching over his shoulder when he bullied all competition, I was there when he became a HOF´er. I may not be a great fighter myself, but I do have eye for talent. John is something special, I told him right after he won his first title. John is the spark that became a flame that turned into a devastating fire. Apart from being a great guy he never stepped down from a challenge and always looked to square off against OB´s best to further improve his skills. Many HOF´ers made short comebacks during the year John reigned OB, only to be knocked out by Big Bad John." - Dick E. Boon

"The thing with John is that he's just so extremely accurate, both in offense and in defense. There's some punches I consider myself a master of, like the small hook and the long upper. Well they're useless against John no matter how well you throw them, he just keeps blocking 90% of them and hurting you in the process. Speaking of which...if he hurts you (and he will), you better move your head a lot because he also happens to be one of the best finishers i've ever seen. Basically if you're not extremely good AND creative, you'll end up on the floor. A fine addition to the hall of fame indeed." - Fatny

Yeah pretty much, we just got to deal with it and continue to fight. To me its a tougher challenge and it will only help me to be better at defense but this skipping problem makes it tough to do anything.

No I fight once in awhile theres no need to fight if its gonna skip and theres really no need to fight if I get blamed for "intentionally lagging the fight". So whats the point of even playing and your making it seem like I havent fought in years. SO calling me a bum for having a wireless connection. Pretty much calling everyone that has a wireless connection a bum right? I think I am qualified to speak pointing out the fact that O have played alot more then others and im sure the settings hasnt changed much besides that gay ass unblockable jab. OK 14 rounder with unstop I can see that. But Unstop boxing? I can't see that because he doesn't like to box.

Boxing was always my favorite part. Even vs the sluggers and spammers. I'd lose some and win some. But what was most fun to me was trying hard to win with the style that I enjoyed fighting. Not just winning. I always liked to see whether my boxing-counter punching style could work vs anybody.

Tyrant is right. But if your only goal is to win then change it up along with the settings. Under any settings its always a fair contest.
