    anybody know what's the story with Doug Fischer? haven't seen his articles lately. His Monday mailbag was given to a new writer. And another writer on a different site wrote he saw Doug at a fight and "at the time" he was with M.boxing.

    what's wrong with Presscot as being objective? just because he dislikes ODLH doesn't mean he's NOT speaking the truth.

    oh, and I pick the retired Royce Feour (Sp) from the Las Vegas Review Journal.

    He left Maxboxing and got a job with Ring Magazine. His monday mailbag is on their website now.

    I think Steve Kim is the best, personally.

    Half of the "pros" couldn't hold a candle to some of the ESB writers. For instance:

    Geoff Ciani. Guy effing blows with boxing predictions, and has a Teddy Atlas-esque mental block and can't see out the other side of the pipe (we all get it sometimes), but for sheer in-depth, analytical boxing articles, he's pretty damn good.

    James Slater deserves a mention.

    Ted Sares too.

    unbiased? He's knowledgable, but if you fought after 1980 you are nothing to this guy.

    i really enjoy bunce's boxing hour and all the pre fight build up shows he does for setanta. Hes really entertaining and has a lot of boxing knowledge. i also enjoy what he contributes to football matters on setenta to! all in all a great all rounder, theres no airs and graces with buncey he speaks his mind and its great!
