Have boxing writers become overly drama in skillfully crafting melodrama about nothing. Often they seem to be the hero of their own self-aggrandizing yarns doing it all for the readers at great mental and physical cost—and, of course, for the "love" of the sport.

In short, are they creating something that borders on literary poetics and avoiding the on-the-beat reporting style of the late George Kimball as just one example?
