What was your boxing magazine of choice back in the day ?

[LITTLE JOE]

I bought KO, World Boxing and Ring back in the day. I still have a few Boxing Illustrated as well. Still have alot of Ring Magazines from the mid to late 70's up till the mid 80's. I go through them every now and then and still enjoy them greatly. Unfortunately the others (KO and World Boxing) were lost in a move. I miss going down to the news stand and buying the monthly titles and had it down to a day or two when each title would arrive. Good memories. My favorite was Ring as the worldwide results were amazing and comprehensive. Very good interviews too and incredible how many boxing cards there were around the world back then compared to now. I last bought a Ring magazine about 5 years ago for nostalgia and wish I hadn't.

KO was my favorite. Good articles & interviews. The poster in the middle with the fighters record on the backside of it when knowing someones resume was something you rarely knew much about til I discovered Ring Record Books (which I stole from my local library it was such a crazy thing to find with all its history of previous belt holders & active guys, sorry Library from my hometown) & Fight Fax.

But I liked & bought them all. I had a sub to every US mag for yrs. An underrated fav was Boxing Illustrated(?) which had a great feature where they had a lil paragraph or two blurbs on cards all over the US & world that was the closest thing you could get to keeping up on the progress of guys who weren't on TV. And in those days the only fights you saw were the main & comain. Seeing anything lower than the comain on TV felt like a gift lol.

The Ring record book. I still have the 1979 version. The first time I became aware of it was watching the Rocky movie and Apollo Creed leafing through it to try to find an opponent after Mack Lee Green had to pull out. LOL

I stole the 1981 version from my hometown library as a kid. I had it for a long ass time but lost it during a move.

I loved Fight Fax record books, which I used to order yearly, but I was in love with the Ring Record book upon finding it. There was so much history & facts in that thing I would go to a random page all the time & just start looking at it. They even had bare knuckle guys in there which I knew very little about at the time. I was fascinated with that book for a long time.

Think of what the R guy running for President slogan is.

There has been a massive change in how the site owners are contending with political bs here & those 4 letters are now on the banned list it would appear.

Until a point in my life I collected them all (including Boxing News from the UK, the lone boxing màgazine I'm still reading nowadays - online). Not anymore, alas.

International Boxing Digest was one of them and I remember it as rather excellent. It was the continuation of the glorious Boxing Illustrated.

Bert Sugar's Fight Game was brilliant as well. Its life was short, though.

That's crazy and figured as such. So I guess I will refer to them as magzines from now on. Ridiculous.
