I'm talking more so of the "opinion" of the guys who want to tell you who sucks, who's good, who's overrated, ect. I don't think Dan Rafael and the other boxing writers have any more insight than the top posters here. I don't put much value in their opinions.

But if you're talking actual boxing writers - guys who write about the history, the people, the stories, ect - that stuff is great. I like guys like that. George Plimpton was another great one and Shadow Box is one of my favourite books. Great writing is great writing. I'll read an article on golf if it's great writing.

I'll read Plimpton's stories about Muhammad Ali, Foreman, Archie Moore, ect because he's not giving an opinion, he's letting you into their world. But I could give a fuck about who Plimpton thought would win between Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis.
