Do boxing writers even watch all the fights they write about?

and they both weigh the same....something's not right there

Dude, Arreola is at least 100lbs smaller than him.

Areola is a professional boxer, hes a writer. Not that I like the guy, just saying.

True and he should give his opinion, but he shold not be dogging anyone about weight matters. Say a guy should get in better shape, don't make a big bolded headline dogging a fighters weight when he himself is a fat ass.

There is a way to do things and a way not to do things.

Its a legit criticism i would say. Just like people saying Arreola has limited boxing skill even though most of those people have never laced em up.

Like I said there is a way to do things and a way not to do things. Saying he should be in better shape and work on his craft is fair game.

Calling Arreola a fat ass in a front page headline when he himself is a fat ass is not the right way to do things.

Some are hacks all the time, some part of the time and some only a little bit of the time. Every writer is a hack at some point or another though.

Not true. There are plenty of journalists and sports journalists who make every effort to be 100% accurate and free of bias 100% of the time. I would argue that most journalists are like that.

Did he actually call him a "fat ass"? I didnt read it so I cant comment.

It was basically calling him a fat ass, the title has since been changed. So I think he realized that is was lame.

We are talking boxing writers, so most of them are internet writers who really don't have any credentials and are basically just fans.

Some boxing writers are better then others though, but I would say it is impossible to not be biased and that journalistic integrity has gone way down hill.

Some would pride themself on stuff like that though, but just because they think they are writing unbiased articles does not mean they are free from bias.

All journalists should be accurate on the facts though as that is the easiest part to get correct, even a hack should get factual information correct.
