Burt Sugar sort of sucks

Burt sugar does sucks.

He doesn't even had Tito but had Oscar among others in the best Boxers list espn once showxcase

Hugh McIIvanney now youre talking writers, when he interviews you its like hes looking for a fight ;D. Trouble is every time Ive talked to him hes been pissed.

He gets on my nerves.. for the reasons all ready pointed out

The guy is considered an "expert" because he is ancient, has a gimmick and loves the sound of his own voice telling blatantly inaccurate tales

I like Bert Sugar, may not know a thing about boxing but he's charasmatic and smokes cigars. How could u not like him? :-\

I don't like him all that much... he is so in laugh with the past it clouds his eyes... He also is redudant as hell, in his top 100 fighters in history there at least 10 times where he says the exact same thing of different fighters, and he says retarded things like Joe Louis has the fastest hands in heavyweight history, as an example... I just think he doens't know half as much about boxing as he thinks he does.

Surely at the end of the day it's only his opinion the only difference between him & most of us is that he gets paid for giving his & we don't least we have the option to read it or not

Ypu want real accurate insider's knowledge?
Go talk to Angelo Dundee or someone like Eddie Futch.

My Dad spoke to Eddie Futch years ago. Stuff that he told my Dad, my Dad says to me and it is brilliant in its simplicity.

Rest assured Burt Sugar has a tremendous amount of insider knowledge.

And he is one of the best writers the sport of boxing has ever seen.

---

The "insiders knowledge" he has is limited to word of mouth.
We all know the story spinners there are in boxing. Half of what he's told is probably lies because they know in telling him it will be public news in a half hour

and he doesn't let accuracy get in the way of his boxing stories.

On an ESPN classics fight interview about mike tyson, burt sugar tried to say that- Mike Tyson was so angry about having to re-tie his gloves during the Spinks fight, that Tyson punched a hole in the wall; and his fist went through and went right by michael spinks face on the other side of the wall.

And Brian Kenny could not let that tall tale slip by- Kenny insisted several times that Burt admit that the story was a fake. But Burt stuck to his word

Burt turned Boxing Illustrated into the best boxing magazine in the world.
