Solved the question about Boxing & Wrestling Mag Rankings

Looked through some B&W's and Ring in 1955 and it looks like they generally correspond with each other.

Ring's May 1955 issue World Rankings are for fights up to End of March 21, 1955. I looked at B&W May 1955 and it's Fights of the Month ranged from Mid Feb to Mid March. spotted through a number of fights in B&W's FOTM and found them In Ring's listing of fights by weight division they post in the same column with the Rankings. These similarities looked for June Editions.
Ring rankings showed through April 21 and the B&W's FOTMs ranged from Mid 18 to Mid April.

The rankings themselves of course differ between the two magazines.
So enough of that mystery digging!
