Which Boxing Writers Never Sparred Nor Fought

I can hang with any of you and you know it.

 

Self praise is no praise.

 

Not to mention Stephen Hawking.

Journalists should be judged as journalists, boxers as boxers.

I spat out my coffee when I read this.

 

Fat Dan has definitely sparred the cashier at his local Dunkin Donuts when he was told there will be a 5 minute wait for a fresh batch.. Fat Dan wants his donuts immediately at his request..

 

His spit bucket is full o' chicken bones.

 

I think of Rafael as more of a reporter than writer — he breaks news constantly, gets his hands on documents of failed drug tests, tells what fights are made before they are announced, what’s going on behind the scenes in negotiations, reports purses that aren’t made public, etc.

Those who think they can writer better than him: tell us about your sources and show us what news you break.

There’s a lot more to the job than just prose.

 

In general, I prefer boxing writers who attended journalism school or majored in English over guys who took up boxing writing as a hobby because they like boxing or used to box.

The guys who boxed tend to just pen editorials spouting their opinions and, typically, they aren't good writers. The guys who take up boxing writing as a hobby just write what amount to blog posts.

Good journalists, on the other hand, are strong writers who interview and quote experts with differing opinions. With them, you seem to get more balanced articles. Among my favorites are writers from the early 20th century who may not have gone to college but worked their way up in the newspaper business and learned to write quality copy (thanks to the guidance of top writers and editors on staff).

Everyone's got an opinion. I want to read well-written stories with actual content.

CST with ESB support behind him talking to Dan on the matter:

To be fair to Escudo his word are like a lion; requires no defense only release.

 

i like this bud.

boxing fans who write usually are very biased towards there favourite fighters (although they will think they are not) which affects the article.
Journalism is difficult, it takes people years to get to a decent level, not just on a forum.

 

Geloof je nog in het helio centrisme? ik zelf denk dat niemand ooit op de maan is geweest.
