    Colin Hart of the Sun is mine. Very astute guy. He was the only scribe over here who predicted that Muhammad Ali would beat George Foreman. I recall he even got it right with Leonard-Hagler. I love his style of writing too.

    I hate Colin Hart, he talks **** all the time, like a British Bert Sugar he goes on myths as much as he does truth.

    Graham Houston is always good, Hugh McIlvaney is excellent, Donald McRae (although he's actually South African, I think... but he's always worked in the UK). Shaun (The Uppercut) is just coming into his own now and it's ****ing scandalous he's not writing for BN full-time.

    By and large though, there are very few good boxing writers. A lot of them are the level of forum posters, ranting and raving with their bias worn clearly upon their sleeves.

    Mee is obviously one of the best historians.

    For sure.

    I need to get my act together and get something done, spoke to Shaun about contributing to Undisputed before and got sidetracked. Now stuck in researching this book and haven't got time for anything 'serious', no doubt I'll contribute a chapter of it to a magazine or website when it's done....good advertising ;-)
