Old Boxing Magazines - Archives?

[Dr Shaw High]

Other than Ring Magazine what other boxing magazines have you guys enjoyed over the years?

Secondly, have Ring Magazine or any of the other publishers started to digitize old copies of the magazines and make them available to subscribers? Or have decent scans started to show up?

I like the idea of going back to read about what people were saying about a fight before it happened to get a better idea of the context in which the fight took place.

I have found archived materials for the likes of martial arts magazines, video games etc dating back years, but not boxing magazines yet. It would be nice to see.

I'm sure you can go on Ebay and find some old issues of most of them. In the 90s, boxing mags were everywhere. I'd see like ten different ones at the bookstore. Walmart would have several even.

You had The Ring, KO, Boxing 92/93/94/95 and so on, Bert Sugar's Boxing Illustrated, some boxing publication that looked like a newspaper although I don't recall the name, World Boxing. There used to be so damn many. Of course, the internet took most of them out. The Ring survived but I'm surprised KO didn't. They were around a long time.

Damn, any links to what that guy did upload?

Another thing that would be interesting to do is to compile pre-fight betting odds over the years. Boxrec should add a category for something like that. That would be cool.
