This is nostalgic man. Me and my homies would taunt each other and make a remix. C'mon and C'mon and C'mon and fight C'mon and fight you wimp fight you wimp
youtube commenting sucks, too short for what i need to say. finally, like I was saying when you win matches you get Iron Gum shields n shit to boost your defense stats so dulling defense down at the beginning aint a big deal. Make a right handed guy and rotate between hitting low left jabs and high right jabs/hooks,and mix it up a little on certain guys. Once your speed and power is up enough you can beat the shit out of people this way with TKOs and KOs for lots of consecutive wins.;)
on a side note, when I finally lost to Holyfield after getting the belt, my record was 34-0. pretty nice. Beat his record for sure. hardest fight before the champ match was Number 2 ranked Rob (Robert) Hemphill, who also happens to be one of the programmers in the credits. You need full power and speed stats to beat him, I found that when you make your player you need to dumb down your defense stats halfway, and make sure your other stats are all fairly equal, you'll get Iron Gum Shields n shit.
@TheUnassisted42 yeah this is a year late, but yes, career mode does continue after defeating Holyfield. You fight a guy named Dave Stevis 2 times for $3 million+ each time, then Holyfield wants a rematch or 2 for $4 mill+. I defeated Holyfield 2 times after getting the belt, and on the 4th or 5th fight I lost and then a few new fighters popped up with crazy strength and speed stats (more than full stats for the player character) and kept tko'ing me in 1st round. Yeah you're fucked if you lose.
@dotdotdash2 Hey dotdotdash. Thanks for the reply. I was wondering after you've beaten Holyfield and he has fallen all the way down (and out) of the rankings, if you keep playing (no matter if you are forced to retire), if Holyfield randomly works his way back up the rankings at some point (from 30)?
Brings back fond memories, great game, my hands used to hurt after playing this game from tapping the A B and C buttons on the controller so much... good times.
Best boxing game there is right here. Alan Beast Wildman West and Slo Mo Jones were the 3 toughest guys to beat. Does anyone know if you keep playing the career mode after you beat Holyfield, if they bring Holyfield back in the rotation at any point?
I have this game and everyfight you do after you reset the game will depend on how many times the guy gets up after he gets knocked down. In this case, no matter what, when the opponent gets knocked down, he stays down. If the opponent gets up once or twice, then he always get up once or twice.
Without a doubt THE BEST boxing game for it's time, and I can still pick it up now and play it and have just as much fun with it as when I first got it!!
love how even in knockouts they have to bring you both to the ring to hold up one guy's hands. like there's drama in the situation. "Hey! I think the guy that got knocked out might have lost the fight!"
did anyone every notice the referees hair was always the same color as your opponents. i used to love j.d. laforge in this game.. i tell strangers thats my name.
Hi ioport, well I would say that the game speed is a lot slower compared to Greatest Heavyweights. Also, there are two fight strategies that lead to quick victories, whereas Greatest Heavyweights has a smarter CPU and therefore more strategies are needed for success.
Oh and Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing lacks the special combo system featured in Greatest Heavyweights. Hope this helps!
Thanks, that helps a lot. I was looking to get one or the other so I guess I'd be better off going with Greatest Heavyweights. Would you say Greatest Heavyweights is the best boxing game on the Genesis?
You're welcome, ioport! Yeah I would say that Greatest Heavyweights is the best boxing game on the Genesis, because it has a lot more options compared to most boxing games. Although Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing is close behind.
The Career Mode in Greatest Heavyweights is really unique since the player can create odd colored fighters such as a blue skinned boxer with green hair for instance. This makes the creative process that much more fun.
Sounds fun. I'm going to get my hands on a copy. I'd like to create a freak boxer and take him to the top. BTW: Have you ever played the Muhammad Ali boxing game on the Genesis? I'm not sure if it would be any good. It does look a lot more arcadey, as in a button masher, and if it's anything like Buster Douglas Boxing I'd rather pass.
I only briefly tried Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Boxing on an emulator and it actually seemed worse than James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing. That is the reason why I never even bothered playing it and I have played the majority of 8-bit to 16-bit related boxing games.
Yep great find, ioport! The thing is that most people don't know how good this game is and tend to sell it at a low price. The fact that it is a sports related game is probably another reason why it sells for so little. Anyway, I hope you have fun!
Well, this is probably one of the few boxing games that has a built in secret fighter in it. Have you ever tried putting in "The Beast" when creating a fighter in Career Mode, daminmancejin? It really makes the game fun, since the player starts off with full boxing attributes and controls a greenish, Hulk-like fighter.
