Burt Sugar sort of sucks

[DaxxKahn]

Burt knows what is true and what isn't...He also does not expect people to believe everything he says in stories like that...By Burt insisting on the story is his way of letting everyone know...."Is it possible I doubt it but it was told to me by someone close to his camp at the time and if I discredit the story I might as well be calling him a liar"....Not good business you start calling people a liar on air etc....

And in the episode you are speaking of Sugar also mentions at the beginning of the story..."There is a story going around"....and another favorite of his..."As history will have you believe"...He never said he seen it personally or he was there

Whether he qualified his answer or not to that specific question, Burt loves to tell tall tales. His story's arn't boxing fact; they are boxing folk lore.

Sugar thinks he's the God of boxing or somethin. Its annoying.
After I read a story he did a few years back insisting tht Roy Jones LOST to Tarver in their first fight and that he "need only look at the two men's faces to see who the real winner was." I lost a lot of respect for him. What a jack ass...

F you guys Sugar rules! Give the guy a break he's like 100 yrs old so what if his memory isn't perfect.

This guy is one of the very best boxing writers out there & you tell me which author does not embellish the truth to make the tale more interesting

[Master]

He is up there with Nat, he is a legend. Besides the Tyson story is true!

People Ive talked to think hes an arsehole. The Tyson story isnt true.

Hugh McIlvanney for one.but i wouldnt even call Sugar an author.
he`s an annoying asshole waving that cigar around like he`s some wise old sage. did you guys see the ESPN show on the 10 greatest Heavyweights he said Lennox Lewis wasnt in his top 20......HE IS NOT EVEN in his 100 best fighters!!!! opinions are fine but this guy preaches like everything he says is gospel. and he`s not even around THAT long.
i heard him say his 1st fight at the garden was a Gene Fullmer fight.
i think he`s a charlatan and not even an entertaining one!!!!

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

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