Boxing Illustrated Magazine Selects Blue Ribbon Panel to Name the All Time 50 Greatest Fighters
Boxing Illustrated is looking to twelve true boxing experts to select the top 50 fighters of modern boxing. The winners get honored on live worldwide television April 17 on the TVS Television Network.
Henderson, NV, February 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Boxing Illustrated Magazine Editor Sterling McPherson has selected a blue ribbon panel to name the definitive all time Top 50 boxers.
