Yes, he combined loads and changed all the names to produce on the greatest works of recent times, The Fixer.

He deserves more, while more harmless, he has the same inflated self worth and opinion of his knowledge as Fearon

Hearn knows what he is doing and does it well, everyone gets paid too

He doesn’t seem overly offensive but Rob Tebbutt must deserve a mention

While he's not perfect (who of us is?), I've got plenty of time for Eddie. IMO he's done a awful lot for British boxing. He pays fighters on time and in full. I like his sense of humour as well.

two things Tebbutt did do for the sport was exposing Michelle Joy Phelps for expecting everyone to work for her channel for free, and also for exposing Spencer Fearon long before anyone else did.

It's very hard to pick three.

Gareth A Davies - plonker and a half. Goes around dressed and acting like a teenager.

Steve Bunce - squeaky a*se kissing annoying plonker.

Adam Smith - never seen someone so crap at a job get so much leeway. Easily the worst commentator in boxing history and ruined many a fight and continues to try to commentate. I thought we had a reprieve when he went away but the pr*ck came straight back. Thank god he's off the main boxing fights and relegated to doing crappy stuff like Bellator.

Spencer Fearon - Sorry but I had to put this plonker in. Complete and utter mug.

Smith also currently helping Boxing News ruin itself with a regular 2 page column which showcases what he knows about boxing - nothing. He really knows absolutely zero, amazing considering how much he’s seen. His articles are even worse than his commentary, absolutely no insight... The articles are usually about himself in some way or other as well….

Nah I think she is a decent presenter. I think her and Laura Woods have clearly tried to learn the boxing game as best they can in order to be able to do their job well in amongst the pundits.

had it on the bookshelf for years and finally started reading it. I know it's fiction but can't help wonder who everyone is based on. enjoying it so far - it's full of stuff he could never officially say, especially nowadays, about how boxing works behind the scenes. and I'm definitely reading some of it hearing Buncey's voice
