    Ring Magazine Jan 2008

    I purchased a copy of Ring Magazine Jan 2008 edition (Floyd on cover) and was VERY dissapointed to say the least! The Taylor v Pavlik fight was going to be in next issue (Feb 2008) when the fight took place in September '07 and were in Jan 2008! Surely it couldn't take the writers 3 months to put together an article on Taylor v Pavlik fight. There was also no Calzaghe v Kessler report either! There was no Mayweather v Hatton report either. The Ring ratings are from July also. As much as the Ring Magazine being 'The Bible of Boxing' I virtually threw $25AU in the bin. Very dissapointed to say the least!

    Actually, the Rings Jan. 08 issue was published in, I believe, November. The Feb. 08 issue came out in December, before Hatton/Mayweather, and had Pavlik and Calzaghe in it. Now, in January, the March issue will come out. I don't know why they are doing it like that but.. yeah.. they do.

          Lets be honest, the internet has made these magazines obsolete. I used to buy them all. Now there are enough boxing websites with quality writers that I don't need them anymore.

                That really doesn't make a difference! The point being that Taylor/Pavlik fight was 9/9/07 and Jan 08 issue said it would be in next issue! Four months is surely a long time between drinks to put together the article along with Kessler/Calzaghe and the Ratings which are very outdated! The features of the magazine should coincide along with the correct timeframe and not be so misleading publishing material that is in fact 5 months behind. Instead of The Ring putting Jan 08 it really should have been August 2007 issue. This is VERY misleading on the Magazine's behalf and at $25AU the content should at least be up to date. I really enjoy reading the Ring Magazine but surely the content MUST be up to date and not 5 months behind misleading it's readers!
