Ron Borges, a reputable writer at thesweetscience.com, has been plagiarizing the work of other boxing writers.
I'm not accusing anybody here, but his pieces obviously borrow from articles that precede his, yet he never gives his colleagues credit. Like this piece, for example, which borrows liberally from the work of fellow sweetscience writer, Springs Toledo:

Plagiarizing is tantamount to disrespecting the hard and honest work put in by other boxing journalists, and puts the whole community in a bad light. Borges should be blackballed as a cheat by the whole boxing industry.
I apologize if my assertion damages Ron's name. It might be blood curdling to the point where Mr. Borges feels like breaking my nose, or God forbid, suing me in court, but hey, that is really irrelevant. Cleaning the sport of boxing is far more important.
Prove me wrong, Ron. Go over all your writings and tell us where you got your ideas for them. Walk your talk, and give us the opportunity to rebut your evidence.
Afterwards, preach to us how all this talk about how Pac should be presumed guilty does justice to the king of the ring, and to boxing.
We're waiting, Ron.
Should we say that flomos concede, then?
Is it only about leveling the playing field when it ain't their asses being fokked? C'mon, flomos. Is Borges a cheater or not?
Modifying the question
With Ron Borges' reported history coming to light, I guess we need to change the question to this: Should we presume that Ron Borges is plagiarizing because of his past?
How do I modify the poll?
Can't comment on his boxing writing, but Borges was fired a few years ago from one of the Boston newspapers for plagiarizing. I think it was a football article, you can easily find this info.
Agreed. Hopefully it all comes out in the wash.
So willing to believe all the dirt and shit thrown at others, then get flustered when they find out they've been lied to.
Floyd, his posse, and GBP are the cunts who started all this shit. Pac, his fans and boxing folks with a clear head will finish it.
Flomos are flustered

Had nothing to do with Arum and Manny ducking the fight and the test did it , you sound like a bullshiter trying sell something , nobody is buying .
Manny is a juicer thats why he ran from this fight .
Who's full of crap, a bullshitter like you who pretends that he doesn't know English or those guys who were willing to compromise enough to do 3 blood tests, one of them up to 24 days before the fight -- despite the clear smear campaign that has been waged against Pac LONG BEFORE AND DURING the negotiations.
Who's full of crap, bullshitter?
