I agree. This is a great project to work on and personally the tomato cans you are finding have a common theme of facing the top fighters from that time. Also, their records might not be complete either. A guy that is 0-4 on recorded record could have had many more fights and possibly have a better record. Regardless of that, you do a great job with the info you do have and the work is definitely appreciated by me.
