    What Person Has The Most Boxing Knowlodge You've Come Across?

    Whether it be on a forum or a person on TV.

    Yogi & HHscup who post on here, really do know a insane amount about the sports history.

    Those are the two I'd also pick. Kid McCoy, who I haven't seen in some time, and McGrain, who posts occasionally here but mostly at ESB also have great knowledge of history as do several others such as TheGreatA, etc., etc. We have some great current posters in this section but Im not going to name anyone so I don't offend anybody else if I left them out.

            Very few people I have ever come across have as much boxing knowledge as I do, honestly, and I wish I met more people who did. My best boxing friend growing up (Ed Ayala) was my equal, as was a fellow named Brian who I was introduced to in 1999 by my wife. Ed is still a textbook of boxing information but unfortunately, a rare disease has cost him the ability to speak and do many basic things we take for granted. And Brian stopped liking boxing recently and switched over 100% to MMA, which caused me to question whether he was ever really my boxing equal to begin with.

            I worked at a YMCA in Lowell once back in like 1999 and there were some really good P.R. boxing fans I would get into endless debates with, they used to call me Kellerman, lol...

            On this forum, there are some great boxing minds and that's fun to find.

            During induction weekends at the IBHOF, I can always find somebody who knows as much about boxing as I do, but at the IBHOF there are so many good smart boxing fans to choose from, it's almost not fair.

              I spoke with Bert Sugar last year in Las Vegas and I must say the majority of this section seem more knowledgable than he does.

              It was only a breif talk, though.

                I chatted with him in an Irish bar next to Madison Square Garden back in '02 (we were ther for Tapia-Medina) for over an hour...and I share your feelings. He knows his stuff, but I know many who know history, and the nuances of the game, better than he does.

                  Did you read his magazines when he was active in writing and publishing them?

                  That's where you'll find Bert's boxing knowledge, not in a brief conversation with him, honestly. In a brief conversation, you will find his humor first, his class second, and maybe a little of that knowledge third. At least that's my take on the man...
