Professional Record

Nicknames of the adversaries should be not supplied. It makes the spreadhseet of the professional records sound unprofessional and cheap. Besides, no nicknames are provided in most wikipedia boxing records so this seems a quirk of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.34.130.251 (talk) 05:00, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know enough about boxing to fix this, came here on a wikiwalk, but when you have garbage like "red-hot streak," "cement headed" and "KOing journeyman Calvin Jones jaw", it clearly is not up to the standards of an encyclopedia or even basic grammar. 108.249.235.44 (talk) 23:12, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
