    Then ignore them. I judge people on what they say, not what they claim to have done.

    The only poster on here with any actual experience is Bunce, and people act like hysterical girls where he's involved.

    Bit of a claim to make about a group of people you don't know.

    Not at all - how many of these folk are paid, professional boxing writers?

    Two as far as I know. Bunce and The Uppercut. There are a few solid bloggers (Slapbang...) who are building a quality site, but most are rank amateurs.

    Nothing wrong with that, I'm one of those too (although at least am a professional writer, if not about boxing).

    Precisely. You don't know who anyone is.



    To be honest I read it wrong, as experience in boxing rather than journalism.

    I've been offered compensation in return for writing about boxing, that counts (not monetary).

    Some of those who claim to be struggle to put a sentence together coherently. It's easy to spot.

    He's got a feature in Boxing Monthly. If he did that for free I'm going to batter him!

    I'm only messing. Think I'm in a confrontational mood.
