      You guys are out of it, Kevin Iole is one of the best i've read, of course he has his opinions and at times he goes off the deep end but he judges people fairly and if you read his mailbag everytime scumbags try to claim he's biased and ignorent he always calmly shuts them down and provides proof to prove them wrong.

      Dan Rafael is a bit annoying tho. He looks like a fat geeky know it all, but he has his opinions, I def like his rankings and can make some good articles

        I agree with the other posters about Eric Raskin, who is terrible, and Dan Rafael, who's poor but at least provides some good information from time to time, unlike Iole.

        Nobody previews a fight better than Graham Houston. He always calls it straight down the middle too, no biases. Rafael is a buffoon, but he has very reliable sources for info. I really like Kim and Fischer at Maxboxing because I don't like reading generic press releases. Michael Katz will make you angry and then make you laugh, but he's an excellent boxing writer. Hauser is A-1. Jake Donovan and Cliff Rold on this site are very good.

        Tom Gerbasi is overrated (boring). Tim Smith is the worst boxing writer in the US. What a useless piece of crap he is.

          You obviously are joking about Kevin Iole. Every fan I've ever mentioned him to thinks he sucks.

            Na i'm not jokin, I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion but I love his mailbags and think that while he has his favorites he's pretty unbiased. Of course others mite not see it this way but I like his work Jake Donovan is also excellent

              Houstons pre-fight analysis is absolutely cream of the crop. He gives outstanding info. on both fighters pros and cons. He even opdates his preview if something bothers him at the weigh-in.

              His predictions of the fight outcome always seems to be at or near the mark.

                  Good ones are Steve Kim, Thomas Hauser and Dan Rafael, the really bad one is Ronnie Nathanielzs.
