why do you guys have to keep going back & going back and fiddling with finished artefacts?

who the frick is oscar nataliono bonavena, or whatever it says on all of his opponents records?

when was oscar EVER referred to as this title? 'ringo' sometimes, napalo-whatever, no.

does that mean we can now have 'lennox claudius lewis' on all the records, and 'michael gerald tyson' too?

But that is no reason to go mad?

The rationale I'm sure behind the change was that in Argentina, that is how he would be known. It is common for Argentinians to be referred to, with their middle name. I think the issue is that Bonavena fought predominately out of the U.S., so I would think the Natalio should be left out in his case.

This is also the case with Alex Miteff (Pablo Alexis Miteff)

Yes Bonavena is known in Argentina as "Oscar Natalio". Its customary over there to call people by their full name. But being that this is BoxRec.com and not Boxrec-Argentina.com, and the fact that Ringo was a fighter known all over the world as "Oscar Bonavena" or "Ringo Bonavena", I also agree that his middle name should be dropped.

PS: Overhand, have you ever heard of the Malvinas Islands?

Don’t start a Bronca, Broncano

Blue, I think the Brits took care of that "Bronca" a long time ago, and did so without even working up a sweat :)

I removed the intrusive "Natalio" and on Ric's suggestion I put the full name in the bio page. Besides the reasons pointed out here, there was a also the problem that when you performed a search with the name "Oscar Bonavena" you were coming up with 50+ hits. As it is now, only Ringo comes up, the way it should have always been.

With such a fascist agenda we can only pray that you never hold office. Then again, in Tony Blair's shoes you might be tempted to trade one of the south Pacific possessions for a copy of Spoon-Jumbo Cummings, wouldn't you?

Are those anywhere near the Falklands? ;) The penguins of that area still want to know what all the fuss was about.

Sorry, you're wrong, Broncano - those penguins are clearly wearing tuxedos, which are ENGLISH formal dinner jackets (although the appellation "tuxedo" came from the Americans.)

Check it out on the site Mindless Crap Origins - Because Everything Has To Start Somewhere:

In the 1880s, formal dinners required men to wear white tie and tails. The members of the Tuxedo club, in Tuxedo Park, NY, wanted to make their male members more comfortable. So they allowed English dinner jacket for their formal affairs. The jacket became known as the tuxedo.

In short, you be wrong. Los Malvinas no mas - Falklands forever, baby! :P
