Joe Gans will take Manny Pacquiao if Chavez isn't up for it

Pacquiao will gladly fight anyone.

Stable war, Pac vs Ortiz

Signed.

When does MDT start? If Pac isn't in the title mix we might be up for vs. Gans in wk 24 or 25.

The MDT will start in Week 25.

Ah, cool. I'll likely match Pacman soft in week 24 then, unless a belt in on the line.

Someone force Armstrong to face Whitaker.

Bring him in chains to the ring, and shoot him if he runs.

Anyway....I guess I'll have to have some back options here.

If no one takes the challenge Whitaker will take on Valero

JLC will face a former American President...Jimmy Carter.

Bump

Feels like we haven't heard anything from Ezzard or Othro in a long time. Are they still playing?

I hope they stay engaged.

I've always thought my "journeyman" seasons have been as interesting as any season when I manage championship material.

It's why I've never swapped a low draft pick out during the season. It's fun to see if you can KO enough tomato cans to enter the single digit ratings.

and though everyone complains......I've found it can be interesting "managing the maze" of options.

The sim has produced some fantastic "cheese champs" just as reality has done.

Mr Ezzard has been playing sparingly, his last comment was back in Week 19.
Othro has not participated since Week 15.

They are both treading on thin ice. Hopefully we'll see them soon, if we don't they will be removed from the active list, and their fighters will be up for grabs.

Oscar calls out Shane Mosley.

Agreed, I always found it more fun when your guys are struggling. I always like to see a lot of different World Champions in a season, it makes the game more competitive.

Too bad. If Armstrong runs....you could have been the lucky victim.

Joe Gans reiterates his challenge to J C Chavez

Tomasino wrote:Joe Gans reiterates his challenge to J C Chavez

Since no one wants either of our fighters, How's about Whitaker knockin' your guy out for shoots and greens?

Or more likely, how's about if we let the two most talented fighters in the sim, duke it out to another ambiguous outcome?

It's sort of like pitting lightening against lazer beams with these two.

Buchanan will switch his attention to Diego Corrales, who is also waiting on an unanswered call-out. What do you say, Baron?

Thanks, the idea had crossed my mind.

I'm sure they will both cross swords once more but really looking forward to Chavez vs Gans. Joe has had some tough calls this season, his health isn't great either. Pernell has been stellar against all but The Old Master. I hope Joe can make his way to the upper reaches of the top ten soon.

Wow. No one wants to fight Ross. Thats not surprising.

Hog, stable war?

I ran all these words through the boxrecsim translation system......and this appears to be a very eloquent and elaborate version of "quack quack".

Bring Armstrong in chains to the ring for Whitaker to pummel.

Taze him if he runs.
