Duane Bobick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking a quick break from 50's guys to do a couple of requests for Dennis.
Bobick is very underated now, people forget he defeated both Holmes and Stevenson as an amateur. and before his loss against Norton he was considered a real contender for the championship.
DRAW POWER -7. Vastly underated by the game here Bobick had a big following and was considered the next white hope after Quarry.
CONDITIONING -9. He was always easily distracted by out of the ring distractions and the biggest of these was his brothers death in a car crash, Bobick was never the same after and never really looked to care about his career in the ring after this event.
INTELLECT -5. He was no genius in the ring but he wasant a 2.
CONTROL VS BOXER - 10. Im upping this and slugger control by two because he was a threat to the title and also it represents his physical attributes which were impressive, he had great natural strength and physique and often bullied opponents.
CONTROL VS SLUGGER - 10. See above, his lack of boxing skills stops me taking this higher than 10.
CHIN VS KNOCKOUT -5. Degraded one step, it cannot be ignored that when he got in with guys that could bang he often went down and out. I dont know perhaps he didnt want it enough but he certainly collapsed in his biggest bouts.
DEFENSE +4. Bad defensively, never really learned how to protect himself always a face first brawler.
HITTING POWER -10. Up one a genuine one punch man, but again it seemed to desert him when he most needed it so I cant go above 10.
PUNCHING -38. He was considered on the slowish side but his great amateur experience ensures i bring this up to at least average as he was better schooled and seasoned than most heavies.
COUNTERPUNCHING -34. He was not in any way a counterer, too agressive and slow.
OVERALL RATING -5. Up one, this rating will ensure he does dispatch most guys underneath him with a bit of ease but then he will blow up spectacuarly against the real cream of the division or the occasional dangerous puncher.

Very nice. I had been waiting for a 'rerate' on Bobick, and I absolutely think this one should become official. I hadn't looked at this post in quite some time, excellent work.
