Would there be much interest in adding in some British/Commonwealth fighters from this time period, lesser knowns?

I've got almost complete sets of the Boxing News for 1966 thru 1969 (looking for a 1965 set) which besides being a ton load of fun and interesting reading, they can give a lot of great insite into the careers of many lesser known fighters. Jim McIlvaney, a HW from that time is someone I did a rating for awhile back and then sometime later on the TB forum I received a contact from his son I believe it was. Well with these copies of the Boxing News, I see they cover almost his entire career and thought about reading through what articles I can find on him to see if they would help me with bettering his rating that I did. There's a lot of other interesting HW/LHW and lesser weight fighters I myself would love to look at doing this way.

This doesn't mean churning out a large number of fighers in any short time, maybe even 1 a week depending on how much researching is needed, but maybe we could come up with some decent rated fighters in the 3 and under rating range.

I'm going to work on McIlvaney and see what I can come up with for him. Any thoughts or interest in doing any more of thes Brits who I could dig on some history on from these old publications?
