    Nobody at ESPN, outside of their boxing writers (and that is still debatable), knows boxing enough to speak on it. Wilbon has a history of bashing boxing so I'm not surprised. The most annoying boxing related garbage from ESPN is when Skip Bayless and S.A. Smith get to discussing it. Skip only releases his "boxing expert's" scorecard for Pac fights and Smith only talks fights if it regards Floyd. Dan Rafael actually follows the sport though I believe the majority of fight fans dislike him and his opinions.

    Stephen A Smith knows the sport pretty well and even boxes himself.

    I believe he said vitali klitschko was president of the Ukraine in the same segment so the man clearly knows what he is saying

    I wonder what he's gonna say after the Floyd vs Broner fights gets made late next year? "After Floyd Vs Broner the sun will loose its energy and all of life on earth will be dead!!!!"
