    **** the new issue of the Ring!

    The 100 Greatest fighters... Moby (Pavlik) at ISTR No. 24, based on potential (I browsed it in the shop, decided not to buy) with the proviso "by now you'll have seen him fight Jermain Taylor." WTF??? That happened over a MONTH ago. Okay, I realise that deadlines are tight, but I've seen Boxing Monthly get a fight write-up in a fortnight's notice.

    Cos some ****head drops out of the middleweight rankings due to inactivity, The Nuff Tumper's back in at number 10. WTF? He got beat on points by Wayne El**** over a MONTH ago.


    I realise it's all about deadlines and so on, but if these guys are bringing out issues where it's "Exciting fight preview - Archie Moore challenges Marciano" then why the **** am I spending a fiver on it?

      I used to, but lately I'm thinking it's full of ****.


      "Hey, that light-heavy rematch with the US guy and the Schnell that came ten years later... it got us thinking, what would other ten years later rematches be like...?"

      No it didn't. You thought "****, four pages left to fill."

          The Ring mag is **** looking mag. Overall quality of the paper is poor compared to Boxing Monthly. BM has nice expensive quality look to it.
