Sad to report Boxing Monthly magazine will cease publication. Editor Graham Houston stated, “When a publication dies, for some readers it’s like a little part of their lives is now missing. From responses received it seems that many feel that way about the death of Boxing Monthly. To all our loyal readers, heartfelt thanks.”

We know Hagler beats Pavlik.
Only thing we don’t know is if he kills him.
Thank you for the memories “Boxing Monthly magazine”. Was an experience getting a fresh Boxing magazine with the latest Boxing stories. The popular newspapers hardly ever wrote much about Boxing. These magazines were about all we had.
Hopefully this eWBSS will go right behind them.
Sad news indeed. Boxing Monthly was a fight fan’s dream back in the ’90s. Fast news, full color photos and excellent articles. Thanks for everything, Mr. Houston.
How bout The Ring magazine?
This was great reading in the 50’s and 60’s. Every month the latest edition had the champion, only one, and the top ten contenders in each division. Most sports fans knew who the champions were, at least in the divisions above bantamweight, and a title fight was an important sports event.
I totally see Hagler doing to Pavlik what he did to Tony Sibson. Without Hagler Sibson would have been a champion. If Hopkins gave Pavlik fits en route to a wide decision win then Hagler who could do everything Hopkins did only much better. 5 round slaughter for the Marvelous one.
Toughest fight to pick in boxing discussions ,would be Hagler vs Ray Robinson?
Hagler based off the computer stats……In reality, not sure about that outcome.
