    I don't see Big Dan being worse than anyone else, he's ok, of course I disagree with him sometimes but in boxing different people see different things.

    Many see Floyd as a great fighter and some see Floyd as a fighter who had opportunities to become the greatest

    Precisely my point. He's considered one of the better writers out there, but truthfully he's average at best. My comparison is more clear when you read older boxing reports and they're just infinitely more professional in their writing. To be fair, the writing in the magazines is still of better quality, but it just seems internet writers are the ones who're seen as the best there is now. I mean fucking Doug Fischer frequently uses LOL in his articles

    I actually liked Doug Fischer when he was at maxboxing, I never go to the ring so I don't know what he's like now. He's not a great technical writer by any means but I liked his profiles of fighters (granted almost all So. Cal fighters but they're are a lot of them) and his gym reports.

    Hauser's probably the best boxing writer.

    I'm reading a book by a guy named Donald McRae called Dark Trade, its pretty good but I don't know if he's really a boxing journalist.

    Hauser is a very good technical writer, but he's basically Bob Arum's bitch, which always puts me off him. When he's dealing with a situation that doesn't involve Arum in any way, he's a much better writer.
