Bear, thanks for taking the time to share these fighters. Myself, I feel strongly that they are an important part of boxing and including them in the game makes it a far better product. Although a fighter like Kid Sacristan, the latest addition to "TC Parade", only had 1 professional fight, that is 1 more than the vast majority of the population will ever have.

He was a professional in a sport that has the potential for consequences so significant and long lasting that it almost makes boxing not a sport. It puts boxing in a different category than other sports and contributes to it being more than just a sport. All sports provide us as the spectator with drama to watch. The drama of boxing more so than any sport is real life unfolding before our eyes.

The 0-12 or 2-7 fighters are an integral and vital part of boxing and the drama of life that boxing showcases. I think it's fantastic that you take the time to see that they are historically represented. Thank you.

(Hope you don't mind me adding so much of my personal opinions here to the thread. Must have been something extra in my coffee!)
