    Wow. How did I miss this thread.

    I'm definitely gonna dork out on this for awhile. Love this idea.

    Randomly it'd be cool if you could see the record at each option right under their name or something to get a quick overview of how they did in comparison vs the other guys you are comparing them against. Like I'm looking at Floyd, Manny, Shane & Oscar so Floyd would be 3-0 in head to head, 9-0 in common opponents & 24-0 vs champions. It'd be cool to see that right off without having to go through all the names & counting them yourself.

        Yeah... and Carpentier and Levinsky are missing as well.

        The idea is great - but for many of the old-timers there are gaps so huge, that you can't really depend too much on the accuracy.

          AFAIK, the app still lacks championship data prior to 1960s...

              Haven't checked back here in a while, so apologies for the late replies.

              I have a question:
              In the "all world champion opponents" section - where have you got all the opponents from? Have you yourself gone through the records of every champion, and counted EVERY fight they have had against other champions? This would appear to be a truly gargantuan task - or is there some easier way?
              Most of the process was automated. I basically made a list of the world champions, then used scripts to sc**** the data, and filter it to only the bouts between boxers who have been world champions.

              To update it though, I'm doing it manually. For example, Stephen Fulton became a world champion last night, so I added him to the database, and I had to manually go through his previous fights. I need to work on making that easier before expanding the database to include more champions.

              Thanks! That's a good idea. There's space for it, and that would be easy to implement.

              Jess Willard was a champion before the NBA/WBA and The Ring were established. When I add the champions from before 1921, Jess Willard will be on Dempsey's list. At the moment, that generation is pretty lacking in the app, but when the lineal, and belts like the IBU are added, that should make an improvement.
