Well it's about time the Ring didn't have Mayweather, Pacquiao or ODLH on the cover.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
About fukking time too. Bradley has done more than enough to deserve acknowledgement. Everything he has done since beating Witter and taking the title has been pretty damn impressive, always fought the big names and never ducked anybody. It seems to me he is becoming the new Paul Williams. Nobody wants a part of him lately.
Good to see. Bradley is something that is right with boxing, he went in tough overseas against Witter to win the title and keeps on improving and impressing me.
He's not the best fighter going around, but he strikes me as being a pros pro and I respect him a heap.
"I take good care of my people. I like to inflict permanent psychological damage."
He deserves it big time.Making immpressive progress against all comers and is a fighting champion.No silk sheets,no silver spoons...he just fights and keeps coming back.
The cover looks a bit gay, but I am glad to see him there. I like Bradley a lot and hope he can do a lot of good things over the next few years.
Does the Ring come out every month still? I stop by the bookstore everyday where I've found it several times in the past and nothing, I haven't found one since the Pacquiao-Cotto pre-fight. Safeway, Food Maxx and Borders, all of them.
On the flipside, you have to understand they're running a business. You're guaranteed to sell more copies with Pacquiao on the cover then Bradley.

I think what's clear there is that Pacquiao has been on the cover waaaay too much. I mean obviously he's the best, but really does he need to be on the covers of half their more recent 14 issues?
And they haven't done a Super-Six cover??
