He probably shouldn't have done but then look at the amount of belts Jones used to carry! Bhops knew what the IBO was worth when he won it from Tarver & promptly put it in the trash.
B Hop didnt want to pay a sanctioning fee:yep By the time Paulie won the IBO he was shot to bits. As for Jones he carried almost every belt there ever was to 75. I used to have a photo of himholding all the belts. Was bloody impressive.
If it is the same one Scurla, buy this months edition of Boxing Monthly I see the WBC, WBF, IBA, Ring, IBO, possibly the IBF & WBA as well, plus one I don't know of.
I cant remember the last time i bought a boxing monthly. Since there subscription went up i havent bothered. Plus the info is always out of date and naturally cant compete with the web. Still good for interviews and small hall info though.
I have had a subscription for a couple of years, but have never read a Ring magazine, so dunno which is better
I used to subscribe to both and KO and the weekly boxing news aswell. I dont buy any anymore. Not much point when you have access to the internet. The "Ring" was ALWAYs well out of date. The only interesting bits were articles from readers rankings at the back, and the occasional throw back articles on boxers from yesteryear.
Totally agree. Thats why i used to buy boxing news although like yourself i hardly ever agreed with them:twisted:
