Just reading a Boxing news from 1970 I noticed that some things never change!

Black’n white of course. There is a Boxer’s record printed inside front cover Jose Ibar, useful no Boxrec to check online back then :think..
Joe Frazier has beaten Jimmy Ellis, Cassius Clay has ‘retired’, Jose Napoles has stopped Ernie Lopez rnd 15.
Anyhow relating to the thread title it concerns the letters section.
Titled ‘Promoters Ignore Champ’ it talks of Ken Buchanan only being given club fights and why not have him fighting in front of the public and some of the press calling him a cotton wool champ.

“Can’t the promoters realise that us the paying public want to see matches made that will be potential to our potential champions and not ballyhoo fights between some our golden boys and third-rate foreigners which often turn out to be flops “ Still relevant today.:yep

An interesting scan for you I wonder if Ali's hit song 'All over now mighty Whitey' was a hit?
