Nice site. Do more work on the old timers and you have a real winner. Right now its too top heavy with modern era fighters.

I wouldn't call it top heavy with modern fighters. :x :x :x .. after all Briscoe and Saad for instance were active over 20 years ago! 8) :lol: :roll: ...lighten up kLOMP!.
Anyway, seriously John, you've got a great website growing there, I'm fascinated by the Phile fighters and always try to read up anything I can on fighters like Saad, Briscoe, Harold Johnson, etc... I love the photos of the fighters you've got and of posters too.
Is there any chance you can put in articles of the fighters as well... detailing fights, profiles etc..... keep up the good work!. 8)

According to the International Boxing Hall of Fame a fighter who ended their career after 1942 is from the "modern era". Compare the amount of fighters prior to 1942 on that website to fighters after. You will see that it is indeed top heavy with modern fighters. He asked for input and I gave my input. He doesnt have to listen and you certainly dont need to get offended.

John is doing a great job developing the web site and it is of a very high quality in my opinion with regard to the content and in particular the layout.

along with some others i have been able to assist him with various articles etc and these include the fight reports and comments made prior.
So in due course these will become available in some form so the question raised by my good friend Silkov is partly answered.

I would also add that john does appreciate any help with regard to information so i would ask that if you have any info that you make it available to him.
