Folks I'm Researching Ring Magazine heavyweight Ratings I need 8 to finish my 1980 research. (also need the Rating dates) September 1980 February 1982 March 1982 June 1982 August 1982 October 1982 November 1982 March 1986
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.
Yes Boxing Magazines Were Always 2 Mos. Behind, But That Is What They Go By!-Like Ring Magazines Encyclopedia Does The Annual Ratings,Where they are Actually December, -And February Issues of The Ring.
Damn, looking at those old boxing ratings surrounded by the Budweiser logo makes me rather nostalgic.
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.
