Hi! I'd like to establish some parameters as far as notability for boxing fights. As there have been tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of boxing fights, including world championship ones, parameters should be established as to which boxing fights should have an independent article apart from being mentioned in the respective boxers' articles and which should not. The article criteria should be:
should qualify as notable enough or as notability establishing standards for boxing fights as events notable enough to have their articles on wikipedia. What do you all think? Thanks and God bless! Antonio Beaten by a knockout Martin ( loser talk) 14:46, July 25, 2022 (UTC)
Technical decision, which is unsourced, came up as an example in a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Verifiability. I don't know anything about boxing, but if someone here knows where to find sources, I'm sure it would be appreciated. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 18:59, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
There appears to be a major mix up over when Bob Foster was born. Was it 1937, 1938 or 1942. GoodDay ( talk) 06:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
I've been looking at infoboxes from other sports and some have cool stuff we could implement. Template:Infobox baseball biography and Template:Infobox tennis biography have fields for when a player turned professional and retired, which are nice to see. For boxers, readers have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the record table or Professional career section. Why not simply copy the fields for our purposes?

User:Ronten5 brings up a valid point regarding Gervonta Davis, in that it can be questioned as to whether he is a legitimate three-weight champion. There are sources which say both, but we could nonetheless try to come up with our own compromise on WP, without outright denying that a boxer won a WBA Regular "world title".
If they have won a mix of WBA Super/Regular titles, and if there is a dispute—such as in the case of Regular titlist Davis not facing his Super titlist peers—we could perhaps avoid linking to the triple champion (and upwards) articles. Just list the titles they have won, but not label them as an x-weight champion. This would apply to several boxers of the past three decades since the WBA Regular titles were introduced.
