    CAB Resource Thread

    This is a thread that we can all use to share pictures to be used in making CABs. If you have any good pictures of boxers (the larger the better) then go ahead and post them or link to them!

    This is what I have put together so far in anticipation of my welterweight career.

    Kostya Tszyu

    Style (taken from here): Tszyu is the perfect example of, "Old School." He keeps his hands low and simply gets after it. He looks like a throwback to the 1930's or the 1940's the way he carries himself in the ring. He isn't the fastest or the quickest guy around at 140, just the toughest. He has a great right hand, tremendous heart and he knows how to win.
    Strength: Tszyu has one of the best right hands in the business. That right hand is just one of the reasons why Tszyu is 15-1 in title bouts. Tszyu fires short, hard counters that make most men wilt. He is the consummate pro and arrived in the United Kingdom weeks in advance of this title fight, where he continued his grueling training sessions. The combination of a great chin, overall will and determination to win along with underrated speed and reflexes sets him apart in the 140-pound division. Tszyu has been in the ring with the best and he is a very confident champion.
    Weakness: Tszyu carries his hands so slow that he almost defies you to throw shots at him. With the exception of the Judah win and his most recent victory over Mitchell in three rounds, Tszyu usually takes some time to get on track.

    Zab Judah

    Style (taken from here): Judah is a boxer-puncher with blazing speed and has the ability to effortlessly throw rapid-fire combinations. He can set the pace or also effectively counter. Judah is a gifted athlete and with his southpaw stance, he creates openings to land shots and then take a half step in either direction to make opponents miss. He has surprising power and with the exception of his 10th round technical knockout over Reggie Green, back in January 2001, most of his KO's and TKO's have come in the first four rounds. He simply jumps on guys and overwhelms them with his dominating speed. If his opponent has power, Judah will elect to box and move and attempt to win it on the scorecards.
    Strength: Judah has speed to burn and some of the fastest hands in sport next to Floyd Mayweather Jr. He can pull the trigger on blinding combinations that allow him to fire four, five, and six-shot volleys, reload and blast away with another flurry. That said, Judah has power in both hands and while he might not drop you with one punch, he can make opponents feel like they are in the ring with a buzz saw. Judah also has excellent reflexes and has the ability feint, move and counter with ruthless precision. He is always in great condition and a supremely confident fighter.
    Weakness: Blessed with so many physical attributes, Judah can also get careless and overconfident. He is one of the most arrogant fighters in the sport and because of it he can end up on the business end of his opponent's leather. Judah tends to drop his hands, showboat and lose his concentration. Judah doesn't have the best chin and Bergman, Millett, Tszyu and Spinks all dropped him. His attitude and bravado can get him into trouble and ultimately that has led to both of his losses.


    Antonio Margarito

    Style: (taken from here) Margarito is a tall rangy fighter, who throws wide looping shots but can box or bang. He's a tough hombre from the mean streets of Tijuana, who starts slow but once he starts landing his left jab whistling right crosses soon follow. Margarito is a volume puncher that throws a lot of shots and very often he lands. Five out of his last six wins have come on TKO's. He appeared as if he was en route to defeating Daniel Santos when he stepped up in weight in September 2004, only to lose on a technical decision in the 9th, when the fight was halted because Margarito suffered a bad cut the result of a headbutt.
    Strength: Margarito has heart, determination and will. Think the ring is tough, try growing up in TJ. Margarito is an underrated boxer who fires punches in bunches. He has a strong left jab followed by wide arcing right crosses and left hooks. He may look tall and thin but he gets enough steam on his shots to hurt and drop most middleweights. On the inside, Margarito can rattle your jawbone with withering right and left uppercuts.
    Weakness: Margarito tends to cut and his right eye usually goes first. That right eye can turn to hamburger with a few well-placed shots. In a brawl that featured so many head butts it looked like a NFL game, Puerto Rico's Santos retained his WBO junior middleweight belt by recording a ninth round technical decision over Margarito. After numerous accidental and seemingly intentional skull cracking moves by both fighters, Margarito's right eyebrow had almost disappeared in a deep bloody half-crescent slash. Compounding Margarito's problems is a tendency to throw wide sweeping shots that a precision puncher such as Cintron could take advantage of by stepping inside and landing.

    Sharmba Mitchell

    Style (taken from here):
    Mitchell is a stylish southpaw and former WBA & IBF 140-pound junior welterweight champion. Short, compact and muscular, Mitchell is a darting in and out type of lefthander that can jolt you with crisp punches. He will bait you with a feint, followed by a jab to set up his combinations. Mitchell will fire three, four and five shot sequences before giving up real estate and looking to counter with stinging left crosses. His career and his mobility has been hampered by a several damaged left knee that forced him to withdraw from a title bout against Kostya Tszyu back in 2001.
    Strength: Mitchell is a skillful pro with the ability to make people swing and miss, while landing rapid-fire two, three and four punch counters. In the past, Mitchell has been also be very effective landing lead left hands and then dodging away from return fire. His jab at this point in his career is only average but he does know what he he's doing inside the ropes.
    Weakness: The main problem is Mitchell is a 35-year-old fighter whose entire game is based on speed and movement. He has a damaged left knee that inhibits his ability to create angles and his hand speed has slowed slightly over the last few years. Factor in that he doesn't have the best chin and to be candid you are courting disaster.


    Vivian Harris

    STYLE (taken from here):
    » The young boxer-puncher, who always thinks about scoring a knockout, has fought impressive opposition and has provided several strong performances
    » All business in the ring, he likes to work behind a long, stiff left jab and hook
    » At best when he can set a blistering pace.
    STRENGTHS:
    » Crowd-pleasing style: he makes for exciting scraps
    » Likes to double up the left hook
    » Dedication and conditioning: he maintains a Spartan training schedule and seldom, if ever, takes a day off … Has good skills and mobility
    » The sharp puncher possesses good hand speed with power.
    WEAKNESSES:
    » Is inconsistent … Can let himself be outworked
    » Tends to stray south of the border with his punches, and has been penalized a few times for low blows

    Cory Spinks

    Style (taken from here): The southpaw IBF, WBC and WBA welterweight champion is a boxer puncher with the heavy emphasis on boxing. Spinks, the son of former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks and the nephew of ex-light heavyweight and heavyweight titleholder Michael Spinks, likes to slide, glide and then drill you with a variety of jabs and sharp counters. The twenty-six-year-old Spinks moves exceptionally well, which makes up for his overall lack of power. While there are only 10 KO's on Spinks resume, he still can get your attention with crisp right hooks to the head and riveting left crosses delivered down the middle. In the first bout with Judah, he bloodied the challenger's nose in the second round with a swift right hook to the face and then rocked him with a wicked straight left cross followed by another hard hook square on the chin. That ability to fire and land hard combinations along with excellent lateral movement and fast hands makes Spinks a very tough cookie at 147.
    Strength: Spinks' greatest attribute is his ability to move, create angles and then deliver the goods with either hand. He has an above average jab, a solid right hook and a stinging left cross that is very underrated. He tattooed the iron-jawed Mayorga repeatedly in their fight and while he couldn't come close to dropping the ex-champ, Spinks more than held his own in close quarters. Spinks has a very nice combination of courage and the ability to mix it up when needed. He can throw punches in bunches and then slide away when needed. With 1:55 to go in the 11th round of his first fight with Judah, Spinks nailed the challenger with a scalding counter left hand clean on the chin that dropped his opponent hard on the seat of his trunks. Judah jumped to his feet before the referee Joe Cortez could begin his count. However, the damage was done and the knockdown went into the books as a two-point round.
    Weakness: Spinks lacks knockout power, so it is imperative that he sets the pace and establishes a lead so he can control fights in the later rounds. Spinks lost his concentration in the first bout with Judah in the final round and it could have cost him his titles. After picking his spots successfully for the bulk of the round, Spinks lost focus and with 32-seconds to go in the 12th, Judah nailed him with a savage counter left hand to the jaw. The punch caught the champion flush and Spinks tumbled to the canvas face first before rolling over on his left side and coming to rest near the ropes. Spinks spun to his feet on wobbly legs at the count of four and managed to survive the last 15-seconds of the title fight despite two more haymaker right hands from Judah. At the bell, Spinks raised his right glove in victory but as he staggered back across the ring to his corner there was little doubt that he was a shaken fighter.

            Re: CAB Resource Thread

            What other welterweights should I include? I am looking to do active fighters or fighters that only recently retired. For now I am not going to be doing Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley because I am not sure whether they will be one of the 5 remaining boxers.

            For my first career I am thinking:
            * Vernon Forrest (even though he looks to be at light middle now he fought most of his career at welter)
            * Ike Quartey (see Forrest)
            * Felix Trinidad (too fun to pass up)

                Re: CAB Resource Thread

                Updated with Floyd Mayweather Jr since it looks like he won't be in the game.




                Style (taken from here): Mayweather is a rapid-fire combination artist that simply can overpower most mortals with a chainsaw attack of blistering hooks, crosses, uppercuts, bolo punches, overhand and lead right hands. He is probably the most athletic boxer in the profession and he has a rare combination of lateral movement, foot speed and hand speed. He was the entire package at 140 but is now fighting at the 147-pound limit.

                Strength: Mayweather possibly has the fastest hands in the sport. He can get off with both hands and in the process also embarrass you with his speed. Factor in lateral movement, the ability to feint and then strike before leaving you in the dust. Mayweather's precision punching takes its effect and grinds people down over the distance if he doesn't stop you early.

                Weakness: Well, there is always overconfidence. Mayweather tends to be very cocky but under Buddy McGirt's steady discipline the boxer trains hard and is always in great condition. At 5'8" and with small hands for a boxer it will be interesting to see how Mayweather reacts to moving up in weight. He looked invincible at 135, excellent at 140; however, the jury is still out at 147.

                    Does anyone still have the game from last year who can get a front on screenshot of Marciano? I thought they did a pretty solid job on him last year. The problem with trying to create him this year is I doubt we can still give him his hairy *** chest.

                        Re: CAB Resource Thread

                        Is there anyone in boxing that looks more overly serious in all of their photos than Miguel Cotto?



                        Style (taken from here): Cotto is a classic boxer-puncher with the emphasis on puncher, and with wickedest left hook to the body since Julio Cesar Chavez was separating opponent's from their livers. He will come right at you, feinting and jabbing while always looking to pull the trigger on his dramatic left hook. When he is in full rhythm; Cotto will double up on the hook and also crack you with a nasty right hand upstairs.

                        Strength: Cotto has poise, talent and a tremendous left hook. He can jab, move and set you up to get extra leverage on that digging hook by leaning just a little to his left. In his win over Corley he was so charged up by the crowd that he lost his focus and it was reflected in his poise and his performance. Prior to the 5th round TKO over Corley against Kelson Pinto and Randall Bailey, Cotto displayed outstanding combinations and showed power in both hands. Look for short chopping right hands on the inside. While he might not have classic knockout power upstairs, if he hits you just right to the liver it is all over but the ten-count. Only four of Cotto's fights have gone the distance and two of those bouts were four-rounders, when he was just starting his pro career.

                        Weakness: Cotto's defense at best is just a little above average. He can be hit and he's been buzzed a few times, however, he is so focused that he seemingly just powers himself through opponents.

                          If you're doing Heavyweights too, you might as well throw Tyson up there.

                          Where are you finding your pics from?

                            Here is a little something I put together for Tyson. It is a larger file so to save the margins of the thread I am just going to link to it.

                            Edit: Photobucket didn't like the size of the file so I am splitting it into 2 files.
