    Like people have said, knows his stuff but his opinions are full of bias especially towards fighters from years ago. This video is interesting:

    He's a good spinner of tales, belly-up-to-the-bar or in print, but they don't stand-up to close inspection. Enjoy 'em for entertainment. Hold as much water as Washington chopping down the cherry tree.

    With the stogie 'n fedora, he's a road-company GUYS 'N DOLLS.

    he follows the general opinions all the time. He has a great personality but to call him a boxing expert, I am not sure. He never really talks technically.

    Sugar is a a fricken idiot nowadays, he's stuck in 1954, maybe he was good back then. He tries to make everything sound profound and absolute fact cause the wise old guru said it.

    Sugar wasn't even into Boxing in 1954 he was originally a baseball writer and he sucked at it so he changed to boxing and became an "expert" :rofl:patsch

    More likely, he changed to boxing, cos he realised there's **** all to write about one of the most boring sports on the planet.

    Nah.....he's one of the most knowledgeable old timers in boxing... He's one to be known for mistakes but he lives and breathes the sweet science...as well as cheap cigars. Sounds like you don't appreciate his craft.

    You are far and away better adjusted than Sugar.He just never realized we are in a new century.I am originally a New York City boy born and bred and educated and grew up in The Battery district.Sugar has a bad rep here being a cheap,overbearing boor.
    You are anything but,judging from your personality and honesty.:good

    He chats a lot of **** and acts like he was around in the 20s, 30s, ect. He is only 5 years older than Muhammed Ali. He was a teenager when Marciano was a champ and not even born when dempsey was but if you listen to him go on he will act like he was ****ing there for those fights. Hes been walking around with that stupid cigar and coat for the last 40 years, in love with an era that he wasnt even alive in.
