SITES THAT ABHOR THE ALPHABET BOYS

ALL-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT RATINGS: 1881-NOW! - This site argues that a COMPUTERIZED, OBJECTIVE RATING SYSTEM works, and calls for an end to those venal Alphabet-Boys sanctioning bodies.

SITES THAT HAVE COMPUTERIZED, OBJECTIVE RATING SYSTEMS

BOXREC.com - The best source for Boxing Records on the Net! It has up-to-the-day COMPUTERIZED, OBJECTIVE RATINGS for all divisions. An invaluable resource for my ALL-TIME Site.

IBO - INTERNATIONAL BOXING ORGANIZATION - The only sanctioning body that boasts a COMPUTERIZED, OBJECTIVE RATING SYSTEM. Unfortunately they don't seem to consult their Ratings when assigning Championships!

WORLD CUP OF BOXING - This COMPUTERIZED, OBJECTIVE RATING SYSTEM kicked in on January, 2002. As they say: "(A) formula, a ... system which can put an end to the capricious guesswork which often causes dubious rankings and title appointments, and end the impasse in which the sport of boxing finds itself all too often."

BOXING HISTORY SITES

THE CARAMEL COVERED KINGS - The Forgotten Black Prizefighters of Boxing's Golden Age.

THE CYBER BOXING ZONE - The best Boxing History Site on the net. A lot of records of old-timers. I've found it very useful for my ALL-TIME Site.

BOXING NEWS SITES

EASTSIDEBOXING.com - A Boxing news Site concentrating on Eastern European fighters.

FIGHTNEWS.com - Updated DAILY with Newspaper & Internet boxing stories!

MAXBOXING.com - Some of the best boxing writers on the WEB including Michael Katz.

SECONDSOUT.com - The BEST boxing writers on the WEB featuring Thomas Hauser.

HEROES ALL ... THE FIGHTERS!

CHRIS BYRD - A good man, a good Christian and a good heavyweight! Chris fights like an old-timer, and that's a compliment!

BILLY CONN - This top Lightheavyweight champion is best remembered for his courageous battle with the great JOE LOUIS.

BOB FITZSIMMONS - The great, and only Heavyweight, Lightheavyweight and Middleweight champion. After 100 years he's still usually in the top 30 of our ALL-TIME list!

HARRY GREB - A great middleweight champion who beat heavyweights. The Site has records of some of his opponents and more than 100 records of other fighters of that era.

VITALI and WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO - An amazingly detailed Site with personal glimpses and lots of pictures!

LENNOX LEWIS - Lennox (I feel I can call him Lennox; we're both Canadians, eh?) is usually in my ALL-Time top 10!

JOE LOUIS - As Muhammad Ali told Joe's son, Joe Louis Barrow Jr. "He was truly the greatest". Joe was #1 in my ALL-TIME top 10 for 14 straight months since my Site's inception!

ROCKY MARCIANO - The only undefeated champion in the history of boxing. Rocky has been in my ALL-TIME top 10 since my Site started!

GENE TUNNEY - He's always in my ALL-Time top 10!
