Name the non-professional boxers whose images were featured solo on a cover of THE RING magazine prior to 1985. There were about five of them, according to my preliminary research.

I'd have to think that Teofilo Stevenson was one of them.

Marquis of Queensbury?

Robert de Niro, Teo Stevenson, Nat Fleischer, Marquis of Queensbury,

Memory goes blank at this moment.

Close, but he was not alone on the cover. BTW: Does anyone know who his opponent is on this cover?

Nope, but you're an Editor, Barry, and you have tons of expertise.

Fleischer was on the first cover, but with Lord Lonsdale. The Marquis was never on a cover, at least pre-1985, to my knowledge. De Niro is correct, however (Feb 1981).

Clue: Two of these covers were from the World War II era.

I remembered one of the WWII era covers, but had to cheat and look up the other...

Howard Cosell and Don King (I think), both in the early 80's.

Is anyone else going to take a guess? I'm really curious about the WWII-era covers.

Only two more covers to guess correctly, generally speaking

So we have MacArthur, Ike, Don King, Cosell, and De Niro. Nice little bit of trivia to know.

That was a lot of fun. Good job Ric
