For the first half of the last century boxing rivaled baseball as the most popular sport in America. Football and basketball, were small potatoes at that time, and boxing ws often a close second to baseball. However, by the1950s boxing started to decline a bit, and according to Nat Fleischer in an article on the subject. The reason was TV, which was forcing many of the small boxing clubs out of business, as they couldnâ  t compete with TV. This is a very early article on the subject, and historically important to the sport. There are also articles on Joey Maxim, Jersey Joe Walcott, and Ezzard Charles. Great issue!.
