    They've been making stupid & senseless decisions for decades.

    -Years ago, they temporarily barred users from the NY/NJ area from using their site, ostensibly as part of some protest against the NJ boxing commission. When users outside of NJ complained about being collaterally banned from the site, the then-owner compared their protest to anti-Apartheid protests of the '80s.

    -They removed birth dates from boxers' records (in order to comply w/ some EU rules, I believe), so now anyone who wants to know a boxer's age after looking up his/her record has to needlessly look for that info on a 2nd site.

    -They list Asian boxers' records under their birth names rather than their ring names, so in order to find Sor Rungvisai's record, I have to look up "Wisaksil Wangek."

    that's precisely the Poem I wrote about England/Scotland... Rome!

    or the statement or question "Where go Rome" !?

    the answer - England and NOT the Near East...

    the 'Revised Rome' of the Scriptures = England!!!

    Lol does anybody care what Boxrec has the to say? Boxrec has Primo Carera ranked higher than Mike Tyson. Ezzard Charles a natural 175 pound guy is ranked higher than Lennox Lewis and much higher than George at heavyweight.

    Joe Frazier is ranked way higher than Foreman even though Foreman beat him twice. Tons of other 170 to 190 pound guys are ranked in the top 25.

    Floyd Patterson a 180 pound guy is ranked above both Klitsckos, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston the guy who beat him twice, George Foreman and tons of other fighters.

    A few years back, I kid you not, James Toney was ranked in the top 20 as a heavyweight. Boxrec is a complete joke and will always be a complete joke.

    just for interest sake, here is what I wrote.

    Tis NO England.
    coarse rugged field,
    strewn with wild heather
    thistles and salt water brine
    hath thou ever seen
    a people so lost in thyme

    blood soaked earthen wear
    spoils traded treason
    is there a people
    none so proud
    in the right way, round,
    round about tables

    No, not ours
    but the waters
    are silken cleanse
    roaming in glens
    surrounded by soaring crags
    oh England, who art thou
    to squash and steal
    from your brethren north
    when you're own south locks equal

    the query doth prompt
    tis no not England at all
    whose people are jovial
    and whose maidens most fare
    so why then Stomp
    of theft to oceans and far.

    Oh England where seas
    could not bay
    but conquest lied yet
    over and over all
    peoples terrestrial gains
    the Celts know well
    this is NOT our Southern kin
    but conscripted folk
    from ROME...

    Where GO Rome
    the question need asked
    Oh, we know Rome...

    Let me tell you
    ALL she hath Fallen
    in unison, CRY...
    ROME GO HOME
    England returned
    and all such conquested lands
    the World Empires back
    too National Sovereignty
    Independent and free,
    as the Almighty
    deemed them be.

    ROME NO MORE!!!

    You all sing "God Save the Queen/King" together before boxing and probably other sporting events, your footie hooligans are international legends, and your television boxing commentators have always been insanely and openly biased. You produced the most famous riot in boxing history when the referee stopped Hagler-Minter.

    Our Civil War Between the States was over 200 years after your own, and we're already looking forward to our next one. Many of our citizens are chanting "Death to the USA!" while burning, defecating and urinating on the Stars and Stripes. (When was the last time you did that to the Union Jack in Trafalgar Square?)

    Have you been to San Francisco or Los Angeles lately? When was the last time you used London as an open air privy?

    We fly Mexican flags, Confederate flags, Rainbow flags, flags of Palestine and Israel. When have any of you done anything like that since Sid Vicious and Prince Harry wore the swastika?

    and So you/we should,

    just recognise the horrible 'State', both in Civil Offices & in Mind, our psychological indoctrination that has been inflicted on us by them.

    It IS 'they' who are NO England!

    Cheers.
