You should make the database searchable by the fighter's home town. For instance if you typed in Scranton, all pros who ever hailed from Scranton would come up. Just a suggestion I thought I 'd run by you guys. Let me know what you think.

good idea

I agree,

There are all sorts of searches that would be helpful that arent availible such as search by:

all champs by weight class. ex: show all current heavyweight titlists
all belts: ex: show all current WBA champs
search by country: show me all fighters hailing from Ghana


there also needs to be some type of "advanced search" that brings all the current searches into one place with more flexible accurate searches

however this will not get done and no one will respond this this thread :(

Those are certainly good suggestions.
Behind the scenes, the genius creator of this site has purchased a new server. (I suspect the present server is at maximum load, with all the heavy traffic this site gets.) He is working on getting it all set up, and hopes to have it running within a few weeks. When the new server is up, this site should be faster. He also hopes to inaugurate a number of new features. I would not be surprised if one or more of your suggestions make the grade. :wink:

Well looks like Ric proved you wrong. Now let's see if anything realy gets done. War machine, I think this database already is searchable by title.

Search by country has always been available. Just click on 'match' and select the division and/or nationality 8)

Search by "REAL NAME" would be good for Thai boxers. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I stand corrected. However, that is not very intuitive.

As to the Title search, yes you can search for titles but you don’t have an "all option". What I mean is that you cannot search on All WBA champs so that all weight classes are displayed. Inversely, you cannot display all Heavyweight champs and get a list of the WBC IBF, WBA etc heavyweight champs

And Ring champs are not listed, but that is another thread....
