[edit] Position of {{KO}} column

Give me one reason that the W-(KO)-L-D-NC format is superior to W-L-D-NC (KO) format. ArcTheLad 00:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

As it looks more natural and better that W-(wins by KO)-L-D-NC for me so I removed {{KO}} under the {{Win}} column, but I am not sure that you accept it or not. Anyway, I agree that {{name}} was removed into statsbox. I like it. --Yappakoredesho 09:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Its doesn't bother me either way. Although I believe the no contest part should be optional Maya Levy 06:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hometown listing

There should be a hometown listing, especially for boxers that are popular for their hometowns but born in a different location (Marvin Hagler, Winky Wright, Arturo Gatti, Joe Frazier, Thomas Hearns) Miss Maya Levy 06:09, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I definitely agree. In fact I wasn't aware it had been removed until just now. Especially since Boxrec goes by hometown and birthplace, which for most boxers, are different as well as significant. Btl 07:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually maybe adopting BoxRec's entire setup is better. At least for where "Weight" and "Style" are used. "Rated At" and "Stance" make much better sense both boxing terminology wise and layman understanding. I'm going to take down the requested change box until somebody replies to this with any thoughts.

I think "Hometown listing" should not be in the infobox because it always changed in life. It should be somewhere in an article (not in the box).--Yappakoredesho 10:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Well I think to have nationality in the box, which suits foreign born fighters, is akin to having hometown listed, which would suit American born fighters who fight and train out of specific areas of the country, which very rarely if at all change. Still, I'd concede this arguement if we could get weight and style changed and have a height listing added. Btl 03:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding long captions

Adding a long caption causes this infobox to take over the entire page: see here for an example. Can somebody fix this, please? —Chowbok ☠ 18:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Listings

Outside of the immediate need for Height. Would anyone else agree to see Weight changed to Rated At, and Style changed to Stance? I have no idea who to approach and the feedback on here...has been non-existent. I'd accept criticisms, assuming anybody reads this. Btl 03:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree that Height is important. For example I would like to add one to Wladimir Klitschko - but unable to. --TAG 17:56, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
