who is the best boxing writer in the world?

You can't go wrong with Hauser, but man can he get long-winded sometimes. Did ANYONE finish that treatise on John Duddy's dispute with Irish Ropes? Holy crap.

I hate that Fischer left Maxboxing. I tried hitting the "new" website, but it's soulless.

I like how Cliff Rold breaks down fights.

Overall, I'm going to go with Bernard Fernandez.

 

Ciani is a pro he's interviewed Lou Savarese for **** sake!

:smoke

 

Alan Hubbard!!!! Loves his amateur boxing

 

Detloff is good.

the worst is Doug Fischer.

 

Worst? How?

 

hes the most biased writer out there,hes also the biggest Valero nutthugger out there.

and his articles are **** the only thing the guy talks about is sparring sessions.

 

More or less true. But at least when Doug covered a sparring session, you knew exactly what happened instead of these urban sparring myths that go around.

I used to make decent bank off of Doug's sparring reports.

Valero, well, everyone has a weakness... :rofl

 

Hugh McIlvanney and Thomas Hauser for me.
"McIlvanney on boxing" is a must-read for any fan. It's basically a collection of his work from the last 30 years.
There isn't a single piece which isn't superbly written.
Hauser is the only guy online who I go out of my way to read.
His work is leagues above anyone else out there at the moment.
No other writer on the net comes up with anything as well-researched and informative as his pieces on HBO for example.

 

it was funny to see the father and son reunion in the post fight interview after the Pitalua fight

 

Boo Radley:mj

 

Not sure - I haven't read anything by him in ages.
Your best bet is to buy one of his books - "McIlvanney on boxing" or "The Hardest Game" - you won't be disappointed.

 

DOnt know who'S the best. My favorite is Doug Fischer

 

On my list. Good stuff man...
