A New Era for Heavyweight Boxing
So I just got today some 1948 Rings that I invested in for my collection. This is putting me in to position to start a walk through The Ring to explore this New Era of Heavyweight Boxing and boxing in general. I want to do something like I was attempting with 1958 but I realize in doing that and trying to look at every heavyweight/light heavyweight fight all over the globe, I was never going to get through probably even a couple month's issues before you'd find me 6 feet under!
I'm going to explore through these 1948 issues to see first what kind of stories and information were in them. Not sure, I want to do this as a historical exploration for my self and maybe for others here, while hopefully contribute some new fighters. Will probably stick to that mostly with heavyweights. Before I kick this off though I'm going to continue a bit looking through some of prominent heavyweights in 1947 as we've been doing to lead up to 1948. Actually with the way Ring was issued being events in an issue were about 2-1/2 to 3 months previous. So Jan 1948 will take us looking at events around October 1947.
Stay tuned.....
