I am loosely affiliated with Boxing Press Coalition. They are a media consortium and reform group devoted to better coverage, integrity in journalistic practices and coordination of group efforts for the betterment of the sport. Boxing press coalition is working on ridding boxing of conflicts of interest in appointment and selection of judges, referees, and improved scoring by utilization of computerized scoring, a fourth ringside officiant with review capability. BPC also favors same day weigh ins or 24 hour weighs ins. We are affiliate partners with ABC, AAIB, FIST and RBF. Consequently, we endorse and work for a pension, retirement plan, financial investment assistance and a clear conflict of interest free relationship between a boxer and his manager, promoter and network. BPC also favors regular, mandatory cat scans and MRI's to be done every six months. BPC favors the crowning of one world champion and exclusive recognition of him as world champion, with clear and contrasting titles given to other sanctioning body titlists and belt holders. BPC favors reduction from the existing 17 weight classes to the traditional number of 8, and no more than 10-12. BPC syndicates written material of any press writer regardless of their affiliation or country. We post material for magazines, newspapers and websites. BPC is presently working on a restructured website which will act as a portal page to all online periodicals; which will have links to all promoters, trainers, managers, sanctioning bodies, fighters and sites. In addition, the Boxing Press website will also serve as boxing's Elias Sports Bureau by providing an extensive database for boxing related facts, stats and trivia. Boolean and resource search capability will allow fans and writers to search information such as the number of knockouts in the middleweight division; to the head to head record of WBC champions versus WBA counterparts, etc... This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Just in case anyone wishes to know, the head historians material has appeared in four books, nine magazines, six newspapers and twenty four websites. Most of my material is presently appearing in boxrec, though unsourced. I have been sending out teaser information the last two months. The most important aspect to having a team for this work is guys (or gals) who enjoy the sport, want to research and who can handle cross checking things. Absolutely no plagiarism will be allowed, nor will staff bashing. I need and want team guys who want to see the sport improved and who have areas of expertise, plus lot's of ambition. No naysayers need apply. For example, the lead researcher was told a year ago by Nigel Collins of the Ring that it was impossible to know which fighters had won at least 100 professional bouts. After spending five months on the project, the editor has found 223 such fighters, and a total of 647 with at least 70 plus victories! If anyone wants to help, please PM me and I will put you in contact with the lead person on the project. With the permison of the lead researcher, material from rare boxing books can be shared in the collective effort. Serious replies only please. Regards,
