    At nearly £5 a pop now,the Ring has three pages devoted to round card gilrs in bikinis,,now I have no objection to looking at pretty women, but a boxing mag should be about boxers don't you think?

    What do you expect?? It's DeLaHomo's magazine now.

    I remember recently when The Ring put out an article asking fans to lay off Hopkins for avoiding Dawson. I figured Hopkins probably wrote the article himself. :lol:

    Isn't Hopkins a GBP fighter? Now I'm confused.

    Maybe you misunderstood me: the article was telling fans to STOP CRITICIZING Hopkins for not fighting Dawson.

    Remember when Nat Fleischer was still alive, The Ring would have a paragragh on the subscription page stating that each issue is an issue that a person can be proud to buy and to show anyone.

    The Ring Card girls looks great but not in a boxing magazine.

    Newspapers and Magazines are fading out here in 2011. The damn web has taken much of the business all away.

    BUT! I was thinking of subscribing to KO magazine again if they are still in business just to see how bad the mag has dipped...

    I gave up mags back around 2005...:deal

    They should have the girls on their website...and go back to better articles...more about greats of the past...1 article about some past great...and I agree about the big glossy pictures. The ODLH, Hopkins ass kissing turns me off.
