Maybe I'm just missing it, but is there an archive of the ring magazine ratings by month somewhere? I'm looking for the monthly ratings over the last 10 years.
You should google these somewhere. Do you use some electronic library network? Ring Magazine is one from oldest things in U.S pro boxing. Somewhere you will find these articles and even old scans. Do you need this for study work for Uni or like this?
I tried some searches but didnt see month by month (did see year by year). This is for a personal project. Good idea on maybe focusing on the scans though, I'll give that a shot
National libraries usually does have printed materials: books, newspapers, magazines and store them. Are they all scanned and digitalized is different question but for historical research there are also these physical libraries and arcieves. Like if you need newspaper ABC from 1929 th march this might be possible. I suggest you to ask someone in your country who is studying history, library stuff and they will tell you how to lurk in these. I sometimes had used digitalized library, sometimes physical library and archives. Depends from country and city where you are ofc. There are also things called international networks for digital libraries, large libraries usually are members there.
If he will use this for Uni work, he most likely should have approx at least 2 sources for 1 fact he will use and they should be cross checkable. Depends from professor/ tutor. If you will need to do defense with your work , then this will be more work: like if for coursework, thesis etc.
Yes. The annual ratings are updated by myself and others on boxrec each year. But if you subscribe to the ring, like 2 dollars a month or something, you have the back catalogue of magazines so can see the momthly ratings as well.
You can easily find month by month, every division, going back to the freakin' 30's I think. Boxrec or wiki. Google "ring rankings by month" should show up at the top.
Boxrec keeps a complete record of the year to year Ring Ratings here: https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings No idea where you'd get the month to month ratings. Ring Mag subscription I guess.
