    anyone read this guys articles?

    whilst I agree with alot of what he says, I had admit that this guy is similar to Jonathan Ross.

    A guy that doesn't suffer from self doubt, in fact I would say a **** socket, the guy has more AKA's than Carlos the ****ing Jackal.

    So far up his own arse.

    In the 4 pages he wrote in this months Ring he has the following names for himself:

    1) Baggtropolis
    2) Baggaraga's
    3) Baggalogical
    4) Bagglestitskin
    5) Baggapalooza
    6) Baggonscopy
    7) Baggmeister
    8.) Baggtacular
    9) Baggenstein
    10) Baggarooney
    11) Bagginator
    12) Baggenbrau

    That is all in 4 pages, yet has the brass neck to slag off Renan St. Juste for not having a "manly name"

    What a self absorbing *****.

    He's an annoying know-it-all ****.

    He's also the ****er that gives out those "Magoo" awards, isn't he?:think

    Eric Raskin's similarly annoying. He decided he's "funny" so all of his pieces have one-liners and observations that would shame a five year old with a whoopee cushion.

    No mate that's normally Ivan Goldman, who this month thought he was the 2nd coming of Michael McIntyre with BP comments.

    I'm all for humour etc. but some of what they write is cringeworthy!!

    Baggofshite takes some beating though!

    he is.

    you should read his comments when people email him.

    They should put this guy in charge of the world. He would end wars, droughts, famine oh and Mercante Jnrs career as well!!

    This guy has always interested me for some reason, ever since he first appeared as a columnist in the KO family Boxing mags (before they were all folded into The Ring about 6-7 years ago).

    "Bagg" is obviously a pseudonym and part of the shtick. When he first started, he claimed to have been a former fighter, but his real name has never been revealed. His whole act is to be a jerk, and like others, I find it more tiresome than funny.

    William Dettloff is, hands down, the best columnist they have now. Unlike others, I like Goldman too, although he can be preachy. Bagg is pretty worthless most of the time though, that I do agree.
