    Mine might be. Heavyweight history, day by day. I kinda don't want to say much yet because I don't know if I'll ever actually finish it. I've been working on it off and on for years and I feel like there's still a TON of work to do to have it the way I want it.

    Damn, looking at those old boxing ratings surrounded by the Budweiser logo makes me rather nostalgic.

    Yeah I liked how they showed the ratings that went beyond top 10 and gave a top 15-20 view as well.

    Yes, thanks so much Dubblechin! Much appreciated!!!

    As for the ratings date vs. issue date, in my document I log them by their "as of" date, if at all possible. If an "as of" date is not listed I make an educated guess.

    The the dates on mags were funny. The first boxing magazine I ever bought was World Boxing, September 1976. It came out in July and had reports from mid-April to mid-May. With the magazines published by Stanley Weston (International Boxing, World Boxing, Big Book, and later KO), the results were a good four months behind the cover date.

    It's definitely nice to see who's bubbling under the top 10.
