It allows me to post some articles and also acts as a home for my statistical analysis of the various sanctioning bodies and their rankings.
The aim is to consolidate the rankings to see which fighters are universally ranked by all (or the majority) of rankings, whilst also highlighting those oddities (like David Haye's recent victim, Mark De Mori) who manage to attain a top ten ranking with one body, despite not being ranked by any other body as anything remotely close to being called a contender.
The Consolidated Boxing Index (CBi) is still a bit of a work in progress, and there are a few points I have issues with that I would invite thoughts and feedback on.
I'd also welcome anyone's thoughts with regards to the articles I have written and posted up.
The site is called "Bricey's Boxing Blog of Choice", the address is http://www.bbboc.co.uk
Thank you to anyone kind enough to take a look, and double thanks for anyone with enough time or interest to offer thoughts or feedback.
All the best.

Re: I've started a Web-Site
The principle of what your doing is quite good but the problem with the sanctioning bodies ratings is that they don't want boxers clogging up their first 15 (eligible to fight). They take out fighters that are involved in final eliminators or are fighting for another sanctioning bodies title. Until recently the WBO or IBF did not rank Japanese fighters because the JBC would not sanction title fights other than WBC or WBA.
Each sanctioning body has a back door route to the top 15 by earning a regional, international or continental type belt. The WBA may allow 5 spots in their top 15 by this method. The IBF often dont rank a fighter 1 or 2. I think your stats will get distorted.
I do something similar by listing the pre-fight ranking of all the world title fights for WBC-WBA-IBF-WBO and IBO and go back to 1993.

Our top 100 is calculated by a linear measurement of man that beat the man. It also shows the rating of the sanctioning bodies so it is quite easy to see someone ranked 80 independently, and perhaps 5 by the WBA. They all have massive flaws though the IBO is best.

Good luck with your website 
Re: I've started a Web-Site
Good luck - and as you have chosen a URL that is very similar to the British Boxing Board of Control (www.bbbofc.com), you should get a bit of extra traffic from people who were trying to find the Board site!bricey wrote:It allows me to post some articles and also acts as a home for my statistical analysis of the various sanctioning bodies and their rankings.
