Although on looking at the records of his final two opponents, Corrie Sanders and Carl Williams, I note they also lack dates of death, and DOBs. Does Boxrec no longer include such information? Dates of birth and death are still being registered, but are no longer listed on the public profile. Showi...

If you divide the number of knockouts by the total amount of fights, you already have the info yourself. I don't think anyone should care too much for stats.

The traditional way to list KO percentage has always been as a percentage of the number of wins. The percentage gives info about the fighter's style and how depending he is upon his punch to win a fight. Likewise, it is more telling that all of a fighter's losses have been by knockout, than to list ...

If no part of Tyson touched the canvas, it should have been called a miracle.

Looked it up, it was not John Tate.

As for the rest:

1. Charlie Polite, Boone Kirkman, can't think of the others right now.
3. Banks, Cooper, Wepner, Frazier.
4. 42 (may be 43).
5. Jose Luis Garcia.
6. No idea
7. Puritty
8. Sharkey
9. Lewiston
10. John Tate?

Didn't he knock down Deontay Wilder?

I'm curious: if his book does say that he wasn't fighting in 1971, would you excise those bouts from his record ? If he explicitly says the bouts didn't happen at all, then yes (unless any addtional evidence for them is found). If the only reason for excluding them is that Zarate was in jail at the...

In the profile of Bob Yalen by Sports Illustrated, it's suggested that the bouts never happened. Dear me, that Sports Illustrated article: https://www.si.com/boxing/2021/11/29/the-fight-hunter-gets-records-straight-daily-cover The writer makes it seem as if Bob Yalen personally visits the Mexican n...

It is more than likely just a case of wrongly dated fights. The details of the early records of many Mexican fighters cannot be trusted.

If you go to page 1 of your link, you'll see that these are all part of a fictional 1980 timeline. The Simon vs. Hearns bout is part of the June 1980 fight results, which also includes fantasy wins for George Foreman, Joe Frazier etc etc.

Ah.... the Motor City Cobra. Can't wait to read it!

One more thing, I have no time (nor interest) at the moment to thoroughly reseach the amateur scene as well. If you want to invest your energy to sort this out (and it is more than just a passing interest) you can perhaps send us an email and ask for editor credentials.

Hi Bart, Boxrec only recently started adding amateur fights to the database. Many European cards of that period featured a mixture of pro and amateur fights, but you will only find the pro fights listed here. You will probably find thousands of instances here where that is the case. If you go to the...

Thanks, the info has been updated.

Sonny Liston. To most people he's just the guy Ali won the title from.

Thanks, it has been corrected.
