Suggestions for BoxRec - Archived

[ozzy616]

Apologies if this has already been suggested but it would be useful to include whether a (non-vacant) title fight is a voluntary or mandatory defence. Either in the actual fight record or in the associated wiki page.

Really impressed with the development of the site - keep up the great work

[Steady_Eddie]

Not easily, we don't have a programmatic breakdown of the areas

John would it be worth asking the Board for the postcodes or however they delineate the Areas?

I'm guessing Scottish/Welsh/NI Areas explain themselves.

This webpage states how the areas are defined

A thread that stays on top for people to post legal links to sites that are broadcasting boxing.
People are always looking for a legal way to watch boxing from other parts of the world but don't know what sites to use.
Not youtube or Facebook links, boxrec users probably don't need any help in those places.

Would you please consider removing the "ALIAS" column in the watchlist and replace it with the graphic showing wins/losses in the fighter's last six fights? That is how the watchlist used to be. Now, I need to click on each fighter (I have over 200 I am watching) to see how they have been performing recently. Nicknames are cool but I humbly suggest the record in their last 6 fights is more informative.

Thanks for considering!

Hi all,

The 'Bout' page shows Boxrec points after the fight, but it would be much more useful (IMO) to know the points going in, either instead of, or in addition to that figure.

Please consider. Thanks....

This is a non-starter. Check the Ratings thread to know why.

Thanks for replying. I could not locate the thread you referred to, I'm afraid (a board search reveals about a squillion threads containing that word, as you can imagine!), and I couldn't see such a thread stick-ied anywhere.

Wouldn't happen to have a link would you, please?

The match was stopped in the 8th instead of the 7th, so the scorable rounds would not be 6 (source: https://www.boxeringweb.net/index.php/n ... prima.html).

Hello, I suggest adding to each boxer's profile all their titles won in the past. Also Olympic medals. In a small box. There where are their names, ages, etc. To see them at a glance. And not be forced to go down and down the profile to see their achievements. Thank you

[ZigggZagggg]

All the Boxers listed in the WBC Bridgerweight have dissapeared from the ratings.
But Boxrec doesn't rate Bridgerweight, only the established weight classes, what I totally agree to.
But now those Boxers are rated NOWHERE.
That's not OK, i think, especially because some of them have been very active in the last months,

Even if they box against each other in the WBC Bridgerweight, that still would be a heavyweight fight according to the other organisations (WBA,WBO, IBF etc..)
So please leave put those boxers back to their established weight divisions.

[John]

Bridgerweight boxers are rated by the WBC, what is the point of us rating them in the wrong division ?

[candyslim]

Is it only the WBC that counts then? Do the other leech orgs even recognize Bridgerweight?

I thiink he (Zigzag) is right, either they should be rated by BoxRec as Bridgerweights or if you don't want to recognize Bridgerweight which is fair enough, then surety it's logicalthey should continue to be rated at Heavyweight, no?

[John]

[oogiebe]

So someone like Oscar Rivas is unranked now in all divisions? Doesn't make sense.

How can you call it the wrong division when you don't recognize the "right one"? These guys are Heavyweights. Did they make it known they would like henceforth to be considered as Bridgerweights? Did anybody ask them? I don't know but I imagine the answer is "no" to both questions.

I doubt many have boiled down to make Bridgerweight either. This seems to be the pet project of the WBC furthering their noble aim of generating ever more sanctioning fees. Either recognize the division or continue to rate them as Heavyweights. Removing them from the rankings altogether strikes me as illogical. and the worst option available.

BoxRec has become an institution and the first port of call for boxing information, not just for fans but for anyone who needs/wants to know. I bet there's a lot of boxers who check their rating on BoxRec.

Then your imagination isn't very good

[candyslim]

That may well be so but your stance still defies logic in my opinion. They are professional boxers and deserve recognition either as Bridgerweights, or if that division isn't worthy of consideration, then as Heavyweights. They haven't simply vanished from the sport.

That's my two penn'orth anyway, I shall say no more except to ask you how their preferences were made known? Did the WBC ask for volunteers and these fighters responded, and if so, how were you made aware?

Sorry if I'm being annoying.

Put them in heavyweight, its not a wrong division... Are they pro boxers? Yes.>>Do they fight at over 200lb?Yes>>Then They are heavyweights. done.
WBC recognise them as bridgers, thats fine, WBC is wrong.

[JCS]

Very strange to not rate guys that haven't officially competed in a division that only one major commission recognizes when they can easily be categorized as Heavyweights.

WBC doesn't even list the division on their rankings.

[ransomkenneth]

Should list boxers by state also why I'm not listed as Promoter on boxrec
