"Tyson was removed from the re-release of the game and replaced with Mr. Dream because his contract expired." Really? I was under the impression (which seems pretty plausible) that he was taken out because of the whole sexual assault business Casey J. Morris (talk) 10:33, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
"Bear Hugger, first appeared in the Super Punch-Out!! arcade. His appearance resembles a Canadian lumberjack."
Since Bear Hugger is from Saskatchewan, a province in the Canadian Prairies which are grasslands and have little in the way of forests, it is highly unlikely that Bear is a lumberjack. I'm removing this reference since it's a projection of an inaccurate stereotype. It's unsourced anyway. --Thaddius (talk) 15:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
The Wii game cites him as being from Salmon Arm, BC, not Saskatchewan. --75.216.221.236 (talk) 18:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
He is a Canadian lumberjack, BC has a lot of lumberjacks--Matematx 22:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matematx (talk • contribs)
Do you know there is a List of characters in the Punch-Out!! series that is very much the same as this article? MuZemike (talk) 01:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I agree with much of the previously deleted strategy info regarding how to play the game, defeat the boxer and detailed specifics of the boxing game play. However since this is a section about fictional boxers (and not characters from an RPG game or a movie or something), some reference to the boxers fighting style, signature maneuvers, mannerisms and difficulty should still be referenced in some way (which I have done). Also fixed minor errors as in Piston Honda/Hurricane mix-up. Characters were given their own sub links as they are referenced and linked to on various other articles in Wikipedia and not having any name specific sub pages breaks all of these links. Lastly I moved the Video Games box to the top, as it is the most important, and added various game titles to the intro text as having 'Arm Wrestling' as the only specific linked game in the text isn't very accurate as to the most important games in the series.User:Ramshackle Man (talk) 09:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Punchout is also an eCommerce industry term and should have it's own page.
I believe that it is important that a new page is created to talk about the technical eCommerce term Punchout and related terms such as Roundtrip, Tapout, etc.
Punchout and the aforementioned terms define a specific segement of eCommerce technology which allows procurement applications (such as Ariba) to communicate with eCommerce websites for the purpose of integrating legacy eCommerce sites to the eProcurement workflow instrinsic to spend management / procurement applications.
This is a fairly complicated and misunderstood technology. Many suppliers who are introduced to the term are hardpressed to understand the concept. Wikipedia can help that.

Since this article is about the series. I propose it's name be changed to Punch-Out!! (series). Any thoughts? Rhonin the wizard (talk) 17:05, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
On my Wii console, I saw a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Wii version on the Nintendo Channel, and the unnamed fighter on the boxart is referred to as "Disco Kid". However, it's listed as a "Nintendo Channel exclusive", which likely means it hasn't been posted elsewhere yet. In any case, this is where I saw it, and so I cited it the best way I could.

According to the download details for the SNES Super Punch-Out!! in the Wii Shop Channel, the protagonist is referred to as Little Mac, but not anything like "the main character". Here are the details:
“ | Featuring the tight game play and humor the series is known for, this sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake. Slug your way through the grueling, sweat-pounding matches of the Minor, Major and World Circuits as you face of against some of Little Mac's greatest rivals like Bear Hugger, Bald Bull, and Super Macho Man. With a cast of new challengers waiting, do you have what it takes to identify their unique patterns and exploit their weaknesses? Go to your corner, and come out fighting, but remember what Doc Louis would say, "It's not about brawling---it's about finesse!" | ” |
However, in the Operations Guide for the game, he was referred to as "the main character", but this is probably using technological speech. Perhaps this is a retcon. Parrothead1983 (talk) 06:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Might as well make use of the talk page for this instead of continuing the edit war. I'm against it, as it's completely unnecessary, and looks incredibly unprofessional. --Evildevil (talk) 03:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
How could Glass Joe have beaten Nick Bruiser? Nick's record is 42-0, according to Super P-O! Maetch (talk) 16:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I added Aran Ryan as being in the Wii game, with a source to a french trailer. While his name is not mentioned in it, it seems to look like him, and it's agreed across various other websites that it is him. If anyone objects to putting him up as confirmed, please let me know as to why exactly. I won't stop anyone, but I'd like to know... --Evildevil (talk) 23:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Nintendo just announced their Club Nintendo awards, and Platinum members can download (I assume it's a WiiWare thing) called "Doc Louis' Punch Out" which is just a one-on-one bout between Little Mac and Doc Louis. (www.nintendo.com)
In truth I'm not sure how to source this. It's technically not part of Punch-Out Wii, but a separate title even though it builds off the Punch Out engine. But, how to add it to the chart. If we add Doc Louis we'd have to a)distinguish the games hes a fighter and he's not, and b) distinguish "punch-out wii" and "doc louis' punch out".24.190.34.219 (talk) 15:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
First, the title is actually Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! not Doc Louis' Punch-Out!!. I know the official title is grammatically incorrect with Louis's instead of Louis', but all the listings on www.club.nintendo.com list it as such, so please stop correcting this.
Second, do not make a whole new line to the table just for Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!. It has been confirmed to only be one bout between Little Mac and Doc Louis. Yes, it is a stand-alone WiiWare title, but in terms of the layout of the article it makes more sense to list it under the Wii title, with a note explaining the circumstance (like it currently is in the article).24.190.34.219 (talk) 23:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I was curious about where Doc Louis's first name originated from. To my knowledge I've never seen any official material reveal his first name. Does anybody know? Wariofan63 (talk) 00:05, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
"Along with that, the protagonist of the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!! appears as a secret boxer in full 3D with the name "MAC" on his boxers and was referred to as "Little Mac" as part of the Nintendo-exclusives deal between Nintendo and EA in allowing a few characters from the Mario franchise to star in NBA Street V3 and SSX on Tour, but, due to the third-party nature of his role in the game, while originally being a nameable character with a different look compared to the original Little Mac and not have a default name, it is considered by several fans of the series, especially those of the NES versions, to be uncanon; however, when the Virtual Console release of the Super NES version of Super Punch-Out!! was released, the official details for the game in the Wii Shop Channel referred to the protagonist as "Little Mac"."
This sentence is not only MASSIVE, spanning four or five lines without any full stops, but I have absolutely no idea what in the world it is trying to say. Little Mac was in a game because EA was allowed to use Mario characters? Huh?? What does this mean?? 174.1.50.249 (talk) 00:56, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
This character list, as a set, is not independently notable from the main series. (In fact the series article exists to cover ground such as this...) The refs don't go into any depth on the characters as a series and note that many citations are repeats. The characters don't need more than a sentence or two description in the #Characters section of this main article. czar 23:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
