    Nice idea.

    altboxrec.com is almost an exact copy of boxrec.com though. Did boxrec give you permission to use the name altboxrec.com?

    Yes. Good idea. The best fighters are no longer winning. It's the connected ones. And it's utter bull****.

    no, I just made up that name. It could be called anything if it's really some sort of legal issue.

    He also had Hernandez Cunningham like 116-111 in favour of Cunnigham (can't remember his exact score), he's an idiot of the highest order.

    Great idea, Impartial judges would need to have a proven record of not being bias. Some people on this site are very bias also so they would have to be weeded out

    It’s a nice idea, but somewhat utopian; a step to the side instead of a step forward. Here you’re treating the symptoms instead of expunging the disease. The crux of all this corruption and nefarious scoring, apart from the occasional honest incompetence, is private vested interest: promoters, sponsors, networks, etc.. How is this fixed? A universally recognized central governing authority which, unlike FIFA, functions in a democratic and transparent manner, and which has the power to recall, redress, suspend, overturn, etc. The laissez-faire ethos of boxing is like a dark-ages relic in comparison to the logically consistent governance observable in most other sports. Salvation lies in inflexible centralism, anything else is prettifying the corpse.

    Great idea but is something that would have to be officially approved by sanctioning bodies and/or local commissions to have any real effect. theres also the Autonomy of the collective bodies(or collective agreement) involved in making the decisions. great idea and community based would be credible if not enforcable

    I'm still waiting on 'eventrec', to record where fighters won events despite whether they won the fight or not. For instance, Vitali EVT6 Lewis, Chisora EVT12 Vitali

    Boxrec is a trademark Brah. There will be no altBoxrec. Come up with your own name.
