    Hey All

    Just a quick thread here about the Boxing Register. It's the official record book of the IBHOF and I've going through it lately and WOW. it's incredible. It has complete or partial records of every hall of famer and a write up of their career (often quite thorough) and as much information about post boxing life as available. It's very handy when going through boxers records and histories as it also provides as much context as possible about the major fights and turning points. Additionally, the records are labelled to indicate what opponents were in the top 10, champions or Hall of Famers themselves. A great read and fantastic resource for anyone in the classic.

    Yeah it's a cool read, definitely cool too because like you say the top ten fighters are labeled.

    I've got the fourth edition. Great book but would love it if they would give complete records for all the fighters.

    same here. but with the mendoza's, figg's and even greb's that can be difficult or impossible to do with any accuracy
