Boxing Legends of the Ring Electro Brain

Boxing Legends of the Ring is a very good boxing game, but strangely not many seem to know it even exists. When I have told people about it in the past I seem to get the same general answer – “never heard of it”. Well, I’d like to say that you all missed out on a pretty decent game indeed. The game features 8 legends of middleweight boxing; Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, “Marvelous” Marvin Haggler, James “Lights Out” Toney, Roberto “Hands of Stone” Duran, Rocky “The Rock” Graziano, “The Raging Bull” Jake La Motta, and Thomas “The Hit Man” Hearns.

You play as a created fighter, and work your way through the ranks, also including one made up punching bag of a fighter named “Kinikini” who’s there solely to let you get an easy win and get the hang of the game. The legends will be ranked in a different order every time you play, and fights get progressively harder the further into the game you get. So on one time through, maybe Sugar Ray Leonard is the toughest fighter and James Toney is easier, while in another game it could be totally reversed. If you beat the career mode, you can then take your fighter into the “Battle of the Legends” which is an 8 man elimination tournament, and in that one everyone will fight their best so it’s quite a challenge. Overall I think this is probably the most overlooked boxing game ever made, and if you can find it you should pick up a copy.
