Looking for feedback on the premis of 3 guys given abilities all different style fighters (boxer, kickboxer, mixed mma) and they fight crime and other "boxing" type adversaries. Looking for feedback, questions etc. Figure comic book fans would be the best place to start asking Cheers Michael Huge fan of both Boxing and Comics here;

The two most awesome things in the world(at least that I can think of right now)! Why aren't there more covers like this? Now that I think about it, why isn't there more boxing in superhero comics. Why isn't there more Wildcat!! Now, I never read the Blue Beatle - Guy Gardner comic, but who won? I would say that BB could dominate GG with superiour footwork and long jabs and crosses, if he could only avoid getting into brawls. I imagine Ted Cord was a pretty good out fighter, but let Guy get in close and personal and he would dominate. Did Cord have the patience to stay out of reach and beat Gardner on points?
