Finally finished working through Turpin's book, Forgotten Men of the Prize Ring. In addition to adding all of the fighters Turpin did biographies for I also rated all of the fighter;s that were mentioned in the biographies as worthy opponents of Turpin's fighters.

I plan on working through a few other record compilations and add any missing fighters. Will be visiting Bill Schutte's two editions of Schutte's American Supplement of Boxing and Tracy Callis & Jan Skotnicki's Gladiators of the Ring.I'll also revisit Bill Mathews The English Boxing Champions (1872-1910) and Record Book. This should add a bunch of "name" fighters from the dawn of the Queensbury era to the advent of the Ring Magazine's Rankings.
