    Fair enough to Dan he gets some exclusives etc, but I thought journalists are meant to be seen without bias (as difficult as that may be). Every time i read one of his articles he seems to butt-lick everything American- especially calling Haye "The Ducker" every opportunity.

    Opinions of him?

    he is good for gossip but in terms of actual writing he is appalling.

    To think some of the great journos and writers the sport has had over the years. And this is what we're left with. :-(

    At least he tells the truth about a certain British heavyweight.

    Unlike all the British journalists who just agree with all the shite he comes out with.

    I only read his gossip bits. That's about it. But the way he comes across it's as if he's in some godly position and we should all bow to him.

    He is a ducker so there is nothing wrong with calling him one. I'd rather he call boxers for what they are instead of licking their arses like Bunce does. If more journalists call out boxers on their bull**** the sport would be healthier. Having said that, he is a poor journalist.

    Still 10 times the journalist as Bunce... Bunce cannot get his tongue out of a fighters arse long enough to give an honest assesment.
