These two make watching boxing an intelligent view. They are more than analysts, they dictate what a scientific fan of the sweetness should think and clarify what they do think. They are masters of the craft

Bernstein is my favorite, but in some cases he is just too nice n easily swayed by others.
Have loved Bernstein back to him and Tompkins cutting up Espn. Except when he sings, that was painful ;D He posted articles here a spell, wish he'd come back around
Can say regardless of rum and Land Sharks tonight....Paulie is in the very top minds on the mic I've enjoyed. He is succinct, insightful and the guy I look forward to for a breakdown and legit honest assessment. Listening to both Al and Paulie being forced to play back up for fat comic book mouth Renallo is a joke and a shame
Paulie Malignaggi will probably be remembered more for his work as a boxing analyst and commentator than for being a boxer, as time goes by.
Al Bernstein is the best with years and years of experience.
Mauro Ranallo is my favorite, I like the guy and I don't understand why a lot of fans don't.
Brine Kenny is good too.
A solid broadcast team!
Neither of them match up well to Jim Watt! :p
Because he's cheesy, his voice is annoying and he adds NOTHING to any broadcast.Quote:

I like him, he's concise, insightful, calls a fight better than anyone, and I like the way he gets into the fights, just like a regular fan.Quote:

To each their own I guess. I'm not so much a fan of his style.Quote:

But yeah, I agree with the OP that Malignaggi and Bernstein are top quality.
When you get a boxer who can actually can actually articulate his insight, it adds so much to the broadcast.
Bernstein is the best :D
Yes he is and maybe it is for nostalgic reasons but he is so level headed. He does channel 5 boxing over here and did an interview on BT sports with clare balding which also had Haye and Couch. Freedom put a video of him on his heavyweight thread.Quote:

Yeah, I'm pretty certain he ran articles for a while and he was mentioned by name numerous times. About 2,3 years ago maybeQuote:

Malignaggi is much better than say Roy Jones and is pretty good, but I have to say Sugar Ray Leonard was the best boxer turned commentator that I've listened.
Yes, I remember Leonard. Bobby Czyz was pretty good too.Quote:

The way Paulie does a running critique on what the fighters are doing right and wrong, I wonder if he has ever thought of training? Probably not, he has his retirement job nailed down now.
I like bernstein.
I also love the emotion from jim Lampley from HBO.
Don't forget Sean O'Grady....he was a great commentator as well.Quote:

I miss Reg Gutteridge. Son of one of the legendary Gutteridge twin trainers and grandson of one of the last great English bare knuckle fighters. Steeped in the sport from childhood working corners and still worked his way up through Fleet Street learning his literary chops before picking up a mic.
I liked O'Grady, occasionally he would talk about and demonstrate the different punches. It was basic stuff but still interesting.Quote:

The last time I saw him, he was calling call some amateur bouts.
