Who is the least annoying color commentator in boxing?

Yes.

He is horrible, Holmcall has produced the post of the day.

Your lucky Lyle. You don't have to listen to Jim Watt and Richie Woodhall. The best for me though is Larry Merchant. I get shocked when you americans call him!

I find him too biased towards british fighters

Max is like he's always on crack.

I dunno, I thought he was pretty fair on the Calzaghe-Jones fight, in terms of favouritism, I always think back to Jim Watt's ridiculous commentary on the Hatton-Mayweather fight, where he made it very clear where his allegiances lie :rolleyes:

Maybe I give more time to Woodhall because he took a training session at my boxing club and was a really safe guy, but I always thought by British standards he was pretty even-handed. I can't stand that Croft guy who does the commentary with him now though, he really knows fuck all about boxing. It always cracks me up when I see people goin on about Bunce on here because he is nowhere near as bad as some of the tools on ITV & Sky

Last night, I met Nick Charles who is a very nice guy. It turns out that he and I grew up in the same neighborhood in Chicago and have lots in common. He is a very nice chap. Steve Farhood was extremely friendly as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how real and genuine these guys were. I will change my tune on them. Very decent AND ACCESSIBLE chaps indeed and not into celebrity bullspit like Max and Teddy. :appl::appl:
