| The RING started out in the
1920's, edited by Nat Fleisher, who died in the 60's. Considered "The
Bible of Boxing," RING has always been highly regarded, but after Fleisher's
death, it has had ups and downs depending on who owned the rights to it
at the time.
Recently, the publishers of KO magazine have published the magazine,
and it's quality has remained comparatively high in the mediocre boxing
publication business. Starting in 2001, the RING went to a full color format,
relatively unheard of for a boxing magazine and the content and photos
are quite professional.
As far as the Boxing business goes, the RING is probably the most informative
and insightful publication on the boxing scene today. Rolando Zamora
