    There have been many, criticism happens every day and every minute. Sometimes it is best to keep things to ones self. Just write facts not personal feelings. The old adage if someone does not have nothing nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all..

    Cosell was not impartial, you always knew who he was going for.

    Because he is a very big draw and also talented.
    When Fury announces a fight it automatically receives attention.

    The answer to your question is, surely, no.

    Lots of various biases and such have been addressed by boxing writers and historians, but I don’t think this one can be strictly enough defined. I think it might be best exemplified (most recently at least) by the Pac and Floyd fan bases, who seemed to exist as much to throw darts at the other (Floyd fans at Pac and vice versa) as to root for their own guy, but, again, I don’t know how you’d quantify it.

    In short, the Circle of Protection seems like one big Circle Jerk.

    I’d like to get a take from @Pugguy on whether the Circle of Protection works anything like the Cone of Silence.

    Works great as an echo chamber.

    However, for interactive dialogue, not so hot.

    Pesky flies that sneak in from time to time can be a big problem also - they simply can’t be trusted with classified information.

    Not answering this properly, sorry just talking out loud. I honestly wish we were as bad as the rest of the internet memes us to be and we were all dogmatic Corbett worshipers claiming John L would cave Tyson and that no man could withstand Langford and even the elite SHWs like Lewis would be brought to heel… if only, we are about as boring as everywhere.

    Waiaaiaiait a minute, you do not mean literally decades ago, that is Red Meat to a literal man, meaning at least the minimum to be a plural, 20 years?
