BoxRec removal
edit- An average sports fan havent heard of many things, that is still not a justified reason to remove BoxRec from there. Виктор Не Вацко (talk) 11:00, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- WP:UNDUE is a justified reason though. I think the argument for including p4p and weight specific rankings would be the coverage they've been given in the media. I have, literally, never heard "5-star rated fights" or "this person has X number of points from BoxRec". And I use BoxRec on an almost daily basis. It's unnecessary fluff, and in some cases, comes across as promotional. – 2.O.Boxing 11:17, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- While I can see why some things probably does not belong here (at least for now), I still think that rankings themselves should stay, given the argument you've mentioned yourself. Виктор Не Вацко (talk) 14:07, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Boxing career section is a mess
editEven the first paragraph (claiming Walcott won his first six fights by knockout) is blatantly incorrect and is contradicting his boxing record on the same article. Currently looking up sources to fix this section because it desperately needs it (I attempted to edit earlier but it was reverted due to lacking enough sources, will find more for this time). Also need to find more on his personal life which is important to understanding how it affected his career. Tom Rogan (talk) 16:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
