Grace and Poise Under Pressure

What I like about Bernstein is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. Guys like Sugar,though I think is harmless,is always interrupting someone with a comment that Bert Sugar thinks is funny. But God forbid if you disagree with Larry Merchant or had disagreed with the late Howard Cosell. Not only would they persist with wanting to get the last word,they would try to demean you for disagreeing with them. Sometimes I think they could put any of us on these telecasts and there wouldn't be much difference, good or bad.

Not a one of them is competent to discuss boxing.

Half-wit...

Explain to us why Bernstein is, "not competent" to discuss boxing.

Granberry,I'd pay to see you on a panel with Larry Merchant and Bert Sugar. After you'd get through with them they'd probably retire.

I have to concede, I would probably pay to watch that also.

Sugar is a drunk. Drunk by 1 pm at the latest every day for the last many years.

The last time I was on a program with Sugar was a radio show when Jersey Joe Walcott had just died.

Sugar tried to talk about the original Joe Walcott.

Sugar said Walcott was middleweight champion.

I laughed and asked Sugar who Walcott won his "middleweight" title from.

One weight class is as good as another when you are a boxing "expert."

Merchant's problem is drugs, I would guess.

His eyes are turned backwards inside his head.

Sugar gets very upset if you knock his hat off.

(because he has no hair).

I have seen some real twits on internet message boards, but I don't think that I have ever seen anyone as jealous and as envious toward actual boxing researchers as granberry obviously is!

I bet Bert Sugar probably took grannys lunch money on a daily basis...thats the problem isn't it? I mean really granny...you say the exact same thing about Bert Sugar that you do against Chris and Angelo Dundee and everyone else you speak of, which you evidently must be someone who has tried to throw his hat in the research arena ring, but without the actual boxing knowledge that it takes you have failed miserably and as a result you have turned into a bitter old woman!

I know that you own a Ring Record book, or two, and you obviously know how to read it as that seems to be your one and only source, but it's funny that you try to claim research that Bert Sugar did as your own...LOL! Sorry pal, but reading and copying stats from a record book does not count as your research...LOL!

Tell you what...for a fee of around $200 an hour I'll teach all that you need to know about boxing history!

We already know how Barry got his self-proclaimed title as a boxing historian:

He stuck his thumb up his a** and said the name Ali---

and declared he was an official, true blue "boxing historian."

Baz, how long before you actually publish something?

barry · Post by **barry** » 06 Feb 2008, 19:13

I've had plenty of things published, which you have seen before...don't tell me that you are also senile, or are you just that stupid that you have already forgotten in two short years?

But then again, if you knew anything about boxing history at all, then you would have and know what I have had published! In fact I have had several things published...I wouldn't share them with clowns like you two, but the people that actually matter does have access to all of my research! Which quite a bit has went into the Boxrec databse, but then again...as I said, if you knew anything about anything you would have know that already...LOL!!!

I guess Gran's silence answers the question. Emphatically so.

Because he is no more competent than you are when it comes to boxing.

I didn't like to say anything at the time as I knew you were embarressed but a 3 paragraph 'report' of a Gatti fight on a web site doesn't really = "having something published" does it?

If Granberry would reveal his true identity we would know if he is an expert or a poseur...Since he chooses not to is it not reasonable to assume he's the latter?
