Is their any chain link swivels out there that fit wide loop bags (Like Ringside)?
I heard the Adidas chain link swivel is wider than the Everlast ones?
Has anyone tried this swivel from Adidas?

I don't know about Addias, as I haven't seen one of their swivels, but the other chain link swivels I've seen use a standard industrial roller chain master link (I think that it's a 3/4" width, but don't quote me on it). These come in various widths and pitches, it would be possible to utilize a wider one with a little machining. You would have to use spacers where the link goes through the upper portion of the swivel assembly to minimize the amount of movement.

No swivels that I've seen. Try squeezing the bag strap (or metal open link end#4 in pic (http://www.speedbagcentral.com/ssp/speedbag_swivels#B)) with pliers, or wrapping the end links tightly with duct tape if the retaining lock clip #5 (http://www.speedbagcentral.com/ssp/speedbag_swivels#B) won't go on.

the "old school" Everlast bags had very short, narrow bag attachment loops.

If you want a swivel with the chain link like action check out this one. It's been identified on the forum before, not sure what thread. I have changed the the roller chain link on one with a shackle from a boating store and it has less play and is faster than the chain link. My shackle is U shaped and stays the same width as the block that it attaches to. You may find one that is round but still fits tight on the block.
