Is it just me, or is bert sugar a idiot even if he is boxing royalty

[FightMoney]

Bert Sugar is an old fool

[paulf]

He's a good guy and I respect him a lot, but I stopped listening to anything he had to say after he picked Marquez to beat Floyd. What type of meds they have him on??

At the roy jones/trinidad fight he was sitting close to me and threw paper at roy's family because they were standing up to root for their man. I found this to be *******ish.

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.

you're absolutely right with everything u said...

I like how a bunch of knownothing loudmouths on a message board on the internet think they are more knowledgeable and crediable then a man who has been around boxing for 50+ years and was also editor and chief for the Ring magazine.

I'm sure TMZ and BoxRec.com makes you oh so much more knowledgeable.

***ing morons!!!!

Mayorga is a great fighter. Not a great boxer but a great fighter.

I've always considered Bert Sugar as the obligatory dumb loudmouth on the panel. He dresses like the dumb loudmouth and he plays the part fully. He's always been seen as the young ****** one of the boxing commentators fraternity as he grew older and as guys like Schulberg and Liebling got ill and passed on he has to take their place for that generation.

Its quite sad is all thats left of that generation but he's a funny guy.

What the hell, let him make some bucks.
