Arthur Ash -- perhaps worst boxig source of all time. Nevertheless, exhibitions should be listed in bio page

Worst boxing source of all time ?

Sure, it is not the ring record book but is a excellent reference to African American fighters. Fine book in my opinion.

Ring Record Book is the 2nd worst source of all time

Ash relies on Fleisher's "Black Dynamite" -- doesn't that tell you anything?

It sure does, Ash did his homework. Where does Boxrec find their entries on a fighters record ? By using the ring recordbook, Arthur Ash's book, news articles, ect and cross referencing, correct ? Ash adopted the same system.
Now run off and fix your rating system.

A Hard Road to Glory by Arthur Ash. A excellent book, too bad he get's slandered for his contribution to boxing.
