Does anyone know of a site that has an archive of monthly ratings? I remember finding a site that had The Ring's monthly ratings dating back to the 30's for each month not just the annual rankings.
This content is protected is a monthly rating of heavyweights until 2005. This is not the ring's, and it's only until 2005, but it is the best out there in terms of what I can find.
I'm not sure where they got that. But you could look at the site and maybe you could find something that I overlooked.
Definitely a different set of ratings. I don't know who put it together, but they did put a lot of wrk into it. I randomly was checking out the early '70s to see when the reemergence of Ernie Terrell took place. I know ring had him as high as #5 before the Wepner debacle but this set of ratings never included him. However, they did include Bob Foster for quite some time. So, like I said, definitely a different set of ratings.
Great info.. Never realised Henry Cooper rated so high in top 10 and for so long. also Sonny Liston well inside top 10 way after his death !!
They've got NP Jack Dempsey listed in the top ten heavyweights for three years, and number one contender for some time.
