Are Ring rankings still the gold standard?

[Bill Paxtom]

Ring Magazine

Was good as any Ratings list for awhile.

They did include other good information;
* Prospect of the Month
* Upset of the Month
* NABF
* USBA
* British-Commonwealth
* European
* Mexican
* South American
* Oriental and Pacific
* Top Amateur events

They were 'on-and-off' with the WBC and WBA ratings.

For east coasters: NY- Do they still have newstands there?

Downtown Milwaukee--years & years ago, there was a guy who had a newstand where all the magazines could be bought.

I remember as a kid racing downtown to buy the latest issue of Ring & a magazine called Right On, with all the latest Funk & R&B entertainers.

The guy would always make sure I didnt get to look at the top rack, where Playboys were at.

Though I was only interested in Chunky Asses magazine.
