WIthout points ratings, it isn't even clear how BoxRec is coming up with rankings.

If I didn't know better, I'd just assume a human was ranking guys based on the eye test.

Points ratings simply must return.

I always found the ratings highly useful. Now I'm a bit lost when comparing fighters' records.

I get that ratings were a bit nerdy and maybe confusing for casual users but can you bring it back as an option for hardcore boxing fans?

So, I guess we're not gonna get any answers about the disappearance of the ratings or any of the other negative changes. I want to continue using the sight, but I need reassurance that these issues are at least being looked at.

The weight class for each amateur bout should be listed on the resume pages. I know exact weigh-in data isn't usually available for amateur bouts, I just want to know the class.

Currently, you have to click through to the bout page to find the weight class.

On the BoxRec: Champions page -

https://boxrec.com/en/champions

- indent the several titles from the same organisation so that the major title has the lesser titles indented underneath, in order of their importance, e.g. -

Light Middleweight

> WBO World > Jermell Charlo
>> WBO Interim World >> Vacant
>>> WBO Global >>> Tim Tszyu

The old look and feel was better - before the changes.

The stars don't mean anything and take up a lot of space.

The schedule on the homepage used to show the big upcoming fights. Now it just shows any upcoming fights. Could that be reverted?

Boxer stats require an extra interaction (click or tap) - that was better before as well.

You used to be able to click or tap on the belts - from the boxers page - to see previous bouts/history etc - can that be reinstated?

On pages like https://boxrec.com/en/ratings?role=box- ... country=DO can you reinstate the W, L and D, age and height of fighters?

I just want to thank the people in charge of BoxRec for listening and bringing back the fan scorecards with averages for each round. This was IMO one of the most irreplaceable features of BoxRec and also my favourite.

I secound that. That was the best thing about the site. You knew weeks beforehand when the fight was going to happen. With the new design even a fight like Usyk vs AJ 2 was only shown on the same day of the fight.
The last design was better in every way.
Hopefully we can change that back.

Records and ages are still there, for me.
They never showed height.
They use to show stance, but no longer do.

I thought at first you were giving us a "cheat" to view the ratings!

Whomever changed the Boxrec pages did a mass disservice to members. Nothing is clear anymore, upcoming events and results are a joke, not worth sifting through, not fun as it used to be. Find myself going to other sites now to get results and schedule information.....sad.

I second what a lot of people are saying - can you bring back the points on fighter records? I found them invaluable when reviewing older records. Seeing NA vs NA on the bout page doesn't give me any context. It feels like we've reverted 10 years in functionailty. If the points are working in the background, why can't we see them anymore?

Yea this is absolutely the biggest issue at present. The points were so important to be able to track the trajectory of a fighter's career and the quality of their competition.
