There used to be this website years ago, where you could pick virtually any boxer in history, choose a level of experience, and match him up against any other boxer. Prime Razor Ruddock against green Muhammad Ali. A shot Joe Louis against a prime Jimmy Thunder. Any dumbass wacky matchup you could think of.

Then the computer would generate a report on the hypothetical fight for you to read, with round-by-round commentary. I don't think for a second that it was anything more than vaguely accurate, but it was lots of fun.

I can't find it on Google, and I don't remember the name. Does anyone else remember it? Does it still exist somewhere?

Yeah, great site. I typed in "Muhammad Ali, Circa, 2001 vs Tony Tucker, 1987". Ali won.

I've been looking. I can find no sign that it still exists, and I don't recall the URL. :(

I know there's a game/simulation called Title Bout Championship Boxing that sounds like what you are talking about. It spits text stuff back at you round by round. I had the demo, it was pretty cool.

You can control for weight class, so you can put SRR against Ali and expect it to be "accurate."

EDIT:

Multiple times, it picked ODLH to beat PBF. Most of the time by KO.

In the 80's there was a Boxing board game called "Ring Showdown" Which was the best boxing simulation I ever seen. Many people reported on upcoming fights, which were eerily simular to the true to life match up's. I wish it was still around.

had the Title Bout Board game back in the 1980s as a kid. I loved it. I was such a geek I even wrote up reports of the fantasy fights and filed them...

I got the computer sim about 5 or 6 years ago. Think it's progressed since then. Have it on my old laptop. probably should fire it up and give it a go.
