Boxing Articles
Found this on another forum, a lot of the links are out of date, so thought I'd repost here with the working ones, and hopefully people can add any articles they find interesting. Can't guarantee the safety of all links, so use proper virus protection. For .rar files, use winrar, but beware these can be dangerous when extracting.
Depending on interest, I might try and keep it organised. All links should be working, but let me know if not.

Re: Boxing Articles
The Henry Downes Miles set is wonderful.
Here's a few more from back in the days of knuckle.
Fred Henning - Fights for the Championship - The Men and Their Times (1902)
volume I
volume II
Frank Louis Dowling - Fistiana; or the Oracle of the Ring (1841 edition)
William Oxberry - Pancratia, or a History of Pugilism (1812)
I bought a print-on-demand version of Boxiana recently on Amazon, cheap as chips and necessary for the collection.

Re: Boxing Articles
Some good articles on there, like the one about the cocoa kid. How times have changed.
On the subject of articles, why do forum users call their posts 'articles'?

Re: Boxing Articles
Not stictly articles but some interesting documentaries from sky in 96 about the greatest of all time, would have to say i'm fairly impressed by Mcguigans knowledge in them. A lot of previously covered ground is retraced but some posters will be interested to see that Colin Hart backs up some of their assumptions although I personally feel he's a bit harsh and extreme with some of his views. Gutteridge seems overly biased towards some boxers but think they provide a good balance between them.

Re: Boxing Articles
Saw a BBC article about George Foreman at the 1968 Olympics earlier so I thought I'd post it here.
It's not the deepest article I've ever seen, as you may expect from the BBC, but I learned a couple of things from it at least.
