Then perhaps you'd like to enlighten everyone by providing actual examples of my supposedly shoddy work.
Can't be bothered to search through your garbage....what is evident though is the general tone of anything you write is patronising.....and this is coming from someone who looks like a farmers son & thought Mark Hobson was the bollox last year and he was going to do this and that...that is not impartial, professional journalism....are you still "gushy" over Mark?
Just let it be known, you may THINK you can write but in reality you come across as the real anorak that knows F.A and has a misguided view that he's on another level.
Also the fact that you and your sibling Spugley would sooner claim a whole boxing forum to yourself and stroke each others crippled egos with only 1 or 2 people posting on there and ban anyone that comes on there and disagrees with you.
Do you really think your write ups have any real impact? How many people actually read them?
The only thing you and Spugley have succeeded in doing as a wanabee internet boxing journo is turn a boxing forum into a ghost town.
Any forum minus your "input" is better off. You say you can't be bothered to support your criticisms of my writing, well, then you can't substantiate your arguments then.
I'll make it easy for you. Here's a link to a number of articles I wrote whilst at britishboxing.net.

My more recent stuff can be located at ukboxingpress.co.uk - take your pick. If you're correct in your assertions you should be able to provide several examples to support your theory.
As for Mark Hobson, I've never made him out to be a superstar - just a decent bloke who can be effective on the domestic and European stage. I, like a number of others, gave him a shot of beating Haye & Maccarinelli. I wasn't the only one who did. There's a difference between supporting someone on a public forum and writing biased articles - the latter I don't believe I'm guilty of.
I don't think I'm better than anyone else, nor do I feel I'm the next Claude Abrams. But I do enjoy writing, care passionately about the domestic scene, have built up some good contacts and have been writing solidly for 4 years. I believe I can craft a decent fight report, interview and previews. Many others would agree, despite what they may think of me as an individual.
I've conducted several interviews, even if you think I'm a crap writer some of the boxers quotes will have been of interest to the majority.
Put you personal issues to one side Simpsons and substantiate your opinions, for once. Otherwise you're just making yourself appear a bitter, misguided fool with a large chip on their shoulder.
