I got the "boxing register-International boxing hall of fame Official record book" 3rd edition by james B. Roberts and Alexander G. Skutt and there's lots and lots of info that are not the same as the boxrec data.
Especially fighters of the pre 1900era.

Are you interest?
I don't know if the source is legit enough for you?

Donovan and Chambers are bareknuckle fighters, or they were for a substantial portion of their career. I guess we will have to look in see. Did they put the fight Fax error where Tiger Flowers fights in 1929 after his death?

yes they were bare knuckle fighters for their entire career.

the last bout for Flowers is list : 1927-11-12 tko4 of Leo Gates.....same as boxrec.
