Re: Why do People on forums/comments constantly claim the Heavyweight division is weak?

When comparing the division to the 1990s, it is weaker. There was more depth of talent. People used to say the division was weak during the reign of the Klitschko brothers. Ruslan Chagaev and Samuel Peter were among the best and Wladimir beat them both. The Klitschkos would not fight each other, so ...

Re: World Boxing Association (WBA)

BoxRec made the WBA titles hidden unless people subscribe and pay one dollar per month. BoxRec will not say why, but this article states a possible reason:

Re: Michael Nunn - ibhof thoughts

The ibhof requires multiple fighters to be inducted every year which has now made it a watered down joke They only inducted three male boxers from the modern era. Usually sports induct five to seven athletes per year. The problem is the people who vote and choose the inductees. There are other boxe...

Re: Michael Nunn - ibhof thoughts

I'm surprised that they inducted three male and three female boxers (the same amount) for the modern era. I don't recall them ever doing that. I think Nunn is deserving and of course Pacquiao. I think there are other boxers more deserving than Vinny Paz such as Marlon Starling and Israel Vazquez.

Re: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II | NETFLIX - 15 November 2024

Why did Canelo win in his first two fights against Golovkin? Why did Katie Taylor win in her two fights against Amanda Serrano? The answer is the same and it is not because Canelo was better than Golovkin or Taylor was better than Serrano.

Re: Turki buys Ring Magazine

It appears Oscar sold Ring to Turki which means Turki now has his own Title and rankings. The 4 sanctioning bodies better start getting their act together or they could be playing second fiddle to the Ring belt and rankings. What do you guys think will come of this?

Re: Will Anthony Joshua be voted into the IBHOF?

He will be inducted. He has a win over Wladimir Klitschko and I know Wladimir was past his prime. He has two losses by decision to Usyk, but the second fight was closer and he lost by split decision. Of course, Usyk and Tyson Fury will be inducted. I don't think Deontay Wilder will be inducted.

Re: why is boxrec.com listing the jake paul vs mike tyson fight ?

I mean honestly losing a decision to Jake Paul at 58 isn't as embarrassing a loss to go out on as the Kevin McBride one was, and it damn sure paid better. I'm not saying Jake Paul is better than McBride, but at least Mike didn't quit on his stool this time. He saw it through to the end. Jake Paul a...

Re: why is boxrec.com listing the jake paul vs mike tyson fight ?

Does it really matter? Does that 1 more loss on Mike's record bring his historical standing down any? If it does...that's actually good. He's somebody that's been put on a pedestal that he didn't belong on for far too long honestly, but I don't think this hurts the way people see him any. The only ...

It was originally going to be an exhibition bout, but the promoter asked the Texas commission if it could be sanctioned with the two minute rounds and larger ounce gloves. The Texas commission allowed it to be sanctioned and therefore has to go on their official records. Boxrec doesn’t need to acce...

Re: What happened to WBA titles in BoxRec?

If they don't want to recognise bridgerweight, that's fine, but why not simply list bridgerweight boxers as heavyweights then? As it is, none of them are now ranked anywhere. Another example of penalising the boxers themselves for Boxrec's own stance. That's a good point. If the boxers are fighting...

I wonder if FightFax will include the Bridgerweight title fights - another thing BoxRec refuses to do! I don't personally agree with the new division but it exists nevertheless. I agree with BoxRec on this one. There is not a consensus because the WBO and IBF have not recognized this weight class. ...

Again, any article calling Fight Fax "an old statistics website that disbanded but has re-emerged" doesn't have much to add to the topic. Fight Fax is much older than Boxrec and was still the co-official boxing record keeper along with Boxrec. Starting in the 1980s they published books fi...

At the very least it would be common courtesy to let us know what the problem is between BoxRec and the WBA.

Miranda Reyes went to Stephanie Han's hometown of El Paso, Texas to fight for the WBA International lightweight title.

Amanda Serrano vacated her IBF featherweight title. Her promoter stated that Serrano respects the IBF's rules and does not want to prevent others from fighting for the title. She could have vacated a few months ago, so why now? I guess she would have been stripped of the title if she did not vacate ...
