    i have 6 magazines that my grandad gave me - they are just called 'boxing' and dated various dates in 1937...are these rare?..i'm not bothered if they're not, just curious..

    scanner messes up the picture of it for some reason...

    I think that is actually an early Boxing News. I've got one myself with a report of the Seaman Tommy Watson - Kid Chocolate fight.

    I just purchased a 1935 'The Ring' mag with an article on Rocky Marciano for 20 dollars at a flea market, might only be worth that cause it has Marciano in there though. Really depends on what people are willing to pay I guess.

    1935????? Marciano was not even boxing than. :patsch They must have some wise people running the mag in 35 to do that. Perhaps use a little time travel to get the in prime pic.

    I got about 5 ot 6 Ring Mags with the Rock also.

    Oops, sorry. It's a 1955, talks about whether Dempsey could take him or not.

    Or was this the one with the Charles Marciano fight, and the than editor play out a Marciano Dempsey on the front page, and had both fighters down, Dempsey knock out of the ring, and witness the greatness fight EVER, only to wake up from his dream lol.
