The Top 10 Punch Out! Characters
 
Mike Tyson's Punchout for Nintendo was one of the highest selling games for the ubiquitous system. It had great game play that was neither too complex nor too simple. The game's duration was a perfect length employing a simple password technology to start you off at the first fighter of a respective circuit. What really made Punchout so successful though was all it's well-designed and well-thought-out characters ranging from the drunk to the arrogant, to the flat out awfully skilled fighters. Each had their own charisma or lack there of. Each had their own mid-round parlance reflecting their own personalities that were guided by their autochthonous cultures. Super Punchout for the SNES would continue the tradition adding more color and graphic technology to all the fighters and even reinstating many of the fighters from Mike Tyson's Punchout such as Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, and the overly tan Super Macho Man. It was imperative for us at Old-Wizard to come up with the definitive "best of" list for the Punchout and Super Punchout characters combined. There were some fighters we left off that we wish we didn't have to leave off like Mr. Sandman and 3 or 4 fighters from Super Punchout such as Nick Bruiser, Bob Charley, and Masked Muscle. But as with all lists, omissions are always necessary. Still, we are confident you will enjoy our picks, especially our number 1 pick.
