Is British boxing journalism dead?

[Pirao]

All I know is I was watching Tua-Haye and someone said he was the fastest heavyweight since Ali.

Disgraceful.

Tua-Haye? Haye would never fight someone as dangerous as Tua

They said that when he was fighting Ruiz.

[any craic lad?]

I think Boxing News and Boxing Monthly regularly feature good articles.

Graham Houston (http://www.fightwriter.com/) is often worth a read as well.

Always look up fightwriter on a friday he gets alot of his predictions right and i mean even sometimes predicting the correct ending that man knows his boxing

[Vadrigar.]

Gavin Evans actually said that David Haye was the fastest heavyweight since Muhammad Ali.



I'm sure there are good boxing writers in the UK as well though. Some of the best insight I've heard from boxing writers in the UK come on smaller websites or even forums, it's a shame that some of the best stuff out there is unread for the most part and we get laughable statements (like the one about Haye above) from the more well known writers. That's not just a UK thing.

That was de****able. I heard it said during the post fight commentary.

Typo.

That comment was irresponsible.

Ali? Thats too damn far back.

His description of Haye beating Ruiz makes him sound like a Haye nuthugger, IMO.

Let me get this straight.....boxing journalism is dead because they have a different opinion to you?
This is more or less what this thread is saying.

[Chrismart]

What newspaper would you fellas say give good coverage to Boxing?

I only read the Daily Mirror and the Liverpool Echo. The Echo has a page every Saturday on local and world boxing, and the Mirror has a piece every Saturday by Mcguigan but apart from that i never see any Boxing news in the papers.

wtf?

This thread should immediately be about this article. WTF

you should learn the difference between opinions and facts. Not only was the article factually incorrect from start to finish, but the journalist must have known he was making stuff up, which is de****able.

They have some good articles but those are outnumbered by the blatantly nuthugging ones. I used to subscribe to Boxing Monthly, but cancelled because I got so sick of the nuthugging. Houston knows his boxing but is as guilty of nuthugging as anyone, which means he's not a proper journalist, in my book. Proper journalism doesn't mean you have to be completely unbiased, but it does mean you have to be objective, and not make up "facts" to suit your biases.
