I know Dan Rafael is generally unlikeable (don't like the guy myself) but he does break solid info from time to time... seems he has good connections in particular within Top Rank. Agree also with Pugmire (who by far was giving out the best info immediately leading up to May/Pac announcement) and Iole.

Who's The Best Boxing Writer For Breaking News?

Which is true.
On the whole though, boxing journalism is diabolical. Which in a way forces us to interpret and analyse more deeply ourselves because we're not swayed by a well-written article.

Kellie Seckbach doesnt tweet breaking news. He just uploads a thousand 30 second clips, over and over again.
Clicked on one of his videos a few days back. It was a whole load of journos interviewing Floyd
Ellie steps in to ask a question. Everybody's listening waiting for what he's gna ask...
"Floyd what's your t shirt about, explain it?"
I mean what the f'uck????? What's your t shirt about???
Biggest fight in history, chance to ask a meaningful question to one of the best boxers in history and he asks a f'ucking meaningless pointless inane question about the t shirt he was wearing.

Rafael gets alot of flack, but the thing that he does (as well as Flattop) is he actually VERIFIES stories before running them. So they might not always get it first, but they usually get it right.
Whereas guys like Elle hear a rumor from one guy who heard it from his drycleaners nephew and he runs it like it was gospel

the problem with Fat Dan is that he's more interested in that jelly donut next to his mousepad than breaking news. i'm sure he does have sources.
