TURN-UP: Quinlan [pictured] found himself on the wrong end of the result against the unranked Walsh
The history of BoxingNews' official British ratings
I HAVE quite a few dealings with ex-boxers and I often find that they attach great importance to knowing how highly they were rated during their career. These days, BN only publish British ratings annually, but there was a time when this was done far more frequently. These lists would often be pinned to the walls in gyms up and down the country as an incentive for up-and-coming fighters to train as hard as possible. Their progress, overtime, being measured by an improvement to their ranking.
