    I was on the site lastnight, there are a few MISTAKES on the website. Those mistakes made it look dumb in my opinion. Yes the graphics are nice but the mistakes NEED to be fixed! Did any of you all catch the mistakes??

    They are not mistakes as such but Calzaghe is listed in the P4P lists as nationality: Welsh, and Hatton: English (in the rankings). Both are British, and both boxers box under the British boxing board so should be listed as such, imo. - or at least Welsh/British, English/British.

    Hey, Joe advertised himself against Jones stood next to a Union jack. I'm on pretty safe ground here - he is also on record stating he is Welsh but also British, and that he prides himself in that. :D Both have British passports, there are no Welsh or English passports - both are British citizens - they are British boxers.

    Ah, they have been fixed. They were listing fighters as champions with the wrong sanction. Ie Forrest WBA, and a few others. But it's fixed now.

    IMO, they shouldn't list the home cities of boxers unless they list them for ALL of them (or at least, 99%).

    Right now, they have home cities for Americans but not for non-Americans.

    That and the missing pictures (which is understandable, especially for the low weight classes) are the only real problems I saw in the ranking area.

    It looks like they have a partnership with Yahoo Sports. I see a lot of their stories are posted on Yahoo boxing page and link up to the Ring Magazine website.
