Suggestions for BoxRec - Archived

[margaret thatcher]

maybe consider putting some indication on amateur records that they might not be complete, so many ppl are under the misconception that the often highly incomplete am records listed on boxrec, which mostly include tougher fights at national and international level competition, are the fighters full amateur history. ...the most recent one is someone thinking caleb plant's entire amateur career was 9-11, but it's happened several times

plus ive seen a number of boxers get offended because their am record on boxrec gives a misleading idea of their amateur success to ppl who dont realize it's only a partial record, made up mostly of their higher level fights that are toughest to win

Maybe I'm missing something as I have been away for a while, but why has the date of births of all the boxers been taken away?.... I've looked up several today just to be sure, including recent fighters who had their dob listed previously, but they have all gone?!!.

I think what would be a really cool feature would be if BoxRec had a "mutual opponents" algorithm where you could take two different fighters currently or in the past and at a click of the button get a complete list of mutual opponents between the two.

Love this idea !

Thanks.

It certainly would cut down on research time dramatically rather than having to pull up two different records and comb through manually.

Indeed. I guess taking the idea further it would be good if a fighters record could be filtered too, so you could show all fights at a certain weight, or in different years, different states/countries etc. I imagine it will involve a whole new redesign or new database tool though.

What would be a nice algorithm for BoxRec to come up with, to see how many southpaws somebody fought in their career without having to look at every single name also.

Declan Geraghty just won the UBO belt, should let his profile be updated?

Hrgovic vs Radonijc had four (yes, four) KDs in the second round, and the scorecards cannot go under 10 - 6, like they do in FightScore. Just to report.

Hi - great to have the amateur records and expanding it every day.

Just one thing - I feel all inside the distance victories should be labelled ‘Kos’ in the overall stats line at the top - just the same as the professional records are.
At present only official kos (now very rare in ams) and Tkos are counted. Rsc, Rsf (if it exists), Rtd etc and all stoppages inside the distance should be reflected in the stats line.

Great work though guys

Lorente won by decision, not TKO.

I believe that the monopoly that has existed in South America to the limited number of only one national federation with access to Boxrec, has given too much power to these organizations, favoring only the athletes that they are interested in managing, taking away the chance of many talents, you can see in Brazil, several talented athletes in MMA and in professional Boxing, not so much anymore, due to access limited and corruption, power that these organizations make using Boxrec for their own benefit and not for the benefit of professional Boxing, the site was created to favor the sport in general, not alimited and corruption, power that these organizations make using Boxrec for their own benefit and not for the benefit of professional Boxing, the site was created to favor the sport in general, not a small group of people, many dreams, many talents are wasted, the correct thing is you have at least two options in each country, following the standards and ethics of the Boxrec website.

What's happening with new users 'user names' ? I thought it was odd that someone should choose to be identified by a six digit number but i thought 'it takes all sorts' but then I see he's not alone so now I'm thinking it's a BoxRec innovation. Please explain.

[mike1989]

Why is Alexander Usik # 18 in the all-time rating and Anthony Joshua # 11 ???

[pugilisticspecialist]

On fighter pages, next to the photo, I'd like to see "mean average career weight" and "mean average opponent weight".

Joe Louis and Tyson Fury might both be heavyweights, but Fury is fighting much larger men, I'd like to have that info at hand.

[pugilisticspecialist]

Fighter pages should also show "career peak rating" and you should be able to click on the rating and have it go through to the bout page the peak rating was achieved in.

Where to change username?

Or don't then ...

[oogiebe]

One of the new users shows up as his number name, but logs in with a real profile name. Strange that.

[candyslim]

That's very strange. I was hoping some might clear up the mystery but I've asked twice, I'm not going to beg.

Dear Boxrec editors,

On the champion page there are listed about 10 different titles I strongly recommend to have the four major titles highlighted or shown with golden crown while the secondary or minor titles ne shown in silver crown.
At the moment they are all shown with a golden crown on the left side.
This simple adjustment can clarify the champion's status greatly.
For example -> if WBO champion is Mr A the golden crown on left side is next to his name , however for the WBO Global Champion : Mr B there will be a silver color crown next to his name instead of the current identical golden crown.
Hope my message will be read.
Regards,
Khash

Just something which would be helpful as a Matchmaker is a feature to filter by where fighters are based e.g. Eastern European’s based in the UK gets them fights and makes our lives easier.

It's the oauth system, it doesn't supply user names.

[candyslim]

Can they not choose their own?
