Have boxing writers become too melodramatic?i

[greynotsoold]

Many current boxing writers are nothing but forum bloggers with no journalism diplomas nor press credentials nor knowledge of journalistic ethics whatsoever; basically they're hack writers.

Same with the commentators and pundits. Ever so quick to write someone off or call someone the next so and so....also too many are too quick to call a fight boring. Nobody knows how to call a cagey fight they aren't patient, they won't explain to the novice what is happening.

I don't think most of them know what is happening. Take Jeff Ryan...a 'boxing' writer for years. He started out writing about big-time wrestling and got into boxing. Thirty years on, he doesn't know shit about boxing. this is true of Farhood, nigel collins, just about all of them. These know-nothing dingbats are the reason that boxing has degenerated into a tough man contest. I remember, years ago, the editors of KO and Ring editorializing that the only thing that would save boxing was more toe-to-toe brawls and the end of hit and don't get hit 'slicksters.'
