    That's one thing great about magazines.

    Perused table of contents. With the internet great stories get buried. Who wants to do a search from 71-90 only to see nothing relevant. A few pages back on this thread I mentioned two attorneys who fought each other.

    Article on the table of contents led me there "Two attorneys settle out of court-in a ring"
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    I loved the ring magazine because of the history of boxing it taught you even if sometimes I felt is was a bit a bit too nostalgic to the old fighters.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Three unrelated fighters: Milton McCrory, Duane Thomas and Jimmy Paul all of whom would become world title holders, all lived on the same street as children.

    Wasn't Jimmy Paul Kronk's first world champ ?

    The other Lightweight champ Hilmer Kenty was Kronk's first, just beating Tommy by a few months.
