Boxing's best historian's!!

Who would in your own personal opions would you class as boxing 's best historian's ie your best historians, could be just because you personally learnt alot from them..

Mine would be ...

burt sugar ,for the ring mag's he published and the books he wrote and just because he is such a character with the cigar.:cool:

ray arcel ,because he worked closly with world champs in the beginning of his life(he also trained a few great champs well about 18 0r 20 i think , one being one of my all time best fighters roberto duran )

so who are yours and why ???

I have learned a lot from speaking with a lot of old time fighters, guys from the 60,s and 50,s I have run into over the years. Learned a lot from believe it or not Tyson and Teddy Atlas. More recently Dundee. Ralph Wiley the writer is another guy I learned a lot from he has spent time with many big time fighters and has learned a lot first hand.
