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.

?????.....She ask general opinion questions that have been asked on these boards about 100 times..(Though can't say I have ever seen historian)....If you don't want to answer don't post to the thread or better yet don't open the thread......Don't think they are aimed at you in particular and I don't think she needs to PM you when she starts a thread.....

You can ask what ever you want, no one asked him to give permission or was there a memo things had to be cleared by him before being posted

"For In depth answers to any questions you have about me or boxing just send me a PM" :thumb:........:beat:.......

Eother someone lied to him and either told him he was

A- The resident boxing expert:rolleyes:

B- He actually believes that he runs something around here:o

C- The worst attempt at internet flirting EVER:pointsnew:

Ignore the boy...Rumor has it he like to drink cough syrup from the medicine cabinet :alcoholic::stars:

In Australia,(Dealing with Aussie boxers) None better that John Hogg. Record keeper for ANBF.

If you speak with Mike Tyson for a short space of time, you may well be speaking to a man who knows more about the ehavyweight division's history and lineage than any other.
