HBO, TOP RANK, SHOWTIME?

George Foreman was a great commentator, John Scully was very good but he hasnt commentated for a while now, Emmanuel Steward is probably the best right now. Bob Sheridan is a guy I like for entertainment value. He can make a boring fight interesting and he really gets caught up fights and holds no punches himself. Same reason I also like Teddy Atlas.

Steve Farehood on the New Showtime is the worse. An acclaimed boxing historian, he frequently get his facts wrong. A nasal NYC whine that makes fingernails going acrioss a blackboard sound comforting. A non-stop motor mouth who talks down's to viewers as if they were imbeciles. Aside from that, he's not too bad. >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad

My #1 least favorite of all. P4P the biggest pr**k in commentating.

the main event aussie commentators sux t00, all of them! and can be real biased sometimes. sean o'grady barry tomkins and rich marotta made a real good team IMO

Sorry for the oversight, CC back at ya!

Kevin Kelley who was on HBO's KO Nation I taught was very good. I also liked Roy Jones views

I know the Marquez fight got cancled but did you hear who the commentators were going to be:


It was Golden Boys crew which consisted of Barry "and we have a new era in boxing" Thompkins, Sugar Ray Leonard and Harrold Letterman. I would have loved to have heard those guys; it would be like watching HBO circa 1987.

BOB SHERIDAN > ALL ELSE
