As a whole I do find boxing rec to be a great resource. I spent yesterday evening going through Muhammad Ali's 70's career and trying to piece it together with footage from You Tube. I was checking all the opponents and seeing how they did prior to fighting Ali and looking at what they went on to do after. All that data at your finger tips, I just love it.
cant be beaten if you want actual solid facts to go on. But should sporting encyclopedias such as boxrec have pound4pound rankings which can never actually be verified??
me thinks not, leave it to ring magazine i say
one dangerous horrible bloke
