If your a avid boxing fan and you actually know the sport's in and out's then Im sure you have heard of Bert Sugar. Dude is considered boxing royalty mainly because of his damn hat and cigar, but the more I read things this guy says the more his reputation dwindles away. He is supposed to be the most knowledgable sportswriter in boxing yet this last article on boxingscene he called Mayorga a "great fighter". Are you kidding me Bert??? And its just not that article either, if you ever see him on ESPN's boxing classic everything he says about a fight or fighter is ass backwards. I just think he lives on his image for being in the fight game for so long. His sense of humor is horrible too. Im sure I'll get backlash from some on this thread, but I guarantee theres some true boxing fans who know what im talking about.

"Shane Mosley is a master jabber" Bert Sugar.
"Shane Mosley has an excellent jab" Bert Sugar. -
Yeah, he's somewhat of a gimmick. People give him so much credibility because he's old, wears a hat and has that cigar in his hand.
He seems like a good guy, though.Comment

Bert Sugar is indeed an idiot, that thinks he knows more about boxing than he actually does.
IMO Larry Merchant is more credible.Comment

Its not just you, I've always thought this guy was a real simpleton.
He doesn't seem to know **** about boxing outside of what happened in 1967.
That dumb old man hat and drooling cigar act ain't foolin' me.Comment
