    Percy Crawford - Fighthype --- too much of a Floyd fan
    Chris Robinson - Examiner --- more substance please
    Gabriel Montoya - Max Boxing --- filling Doug's shoes quite nicely, and this is genuinely meant as a compliment
    Ryan Songalia - Boxing Scene --- too little articles lately
    Dennis Guillermo - Examiner --- too much Pacquiao
    Mario Ortega - 15 Rounds
    Joseph "The Mad Boxing Genius" Torres - Doghouse Boxing
    Ryan Maquinana - Max Boxing
    Vivek Wallace - East Side Boxing --- I'm sorry, but I get the sense he's too partial for black fighters
    Other --- yes, Springs Toledo is one of the best but...his articles come too few and far between!

    I dont read any of these guys regularly.

    Terry Dooley is the most interesting of the younger writers he's at a dog of a site, ***********, but is a very talented wordsmith.

    I went for Vivek Wallace; i genuinley find him insightful and articulate in everything he says, apart from when he is talking about floyd / pac. then he decends to troll levels of floyd nut hugging.

    Me too. And his articles are work of arts mostly. Even when I don“t agree with them all the time.

    I like Tim Starks from the queensberry-rules boxing blog, but I guess he's not really an up and coming writer... I went with Gabe Montoya, the others I'm not too familiar with

    John Garfield spanks them all but I don't think he writes anymore

    Agreed. Hauser is the man as far as Boxing journalism goes, proper old-school digging and follow through.
