Who was/is your favourite Boxing commentator?

[Beanz]

In response to the Jim Watt is doing my head in thread I wonder who peoples favourite Boxing commentator is /was? If there is enough interest maybe we can run a poll.

Max Kellerman out of everyone on HBO he seems to be the one that isnt ever really bias.

It's actually Bernstein. But I don't mind Gus. His boxing knowledge is pretty poor. But his poor knowledge is why he's the most unbiased commentator of them all.

I'll at least agree with you on Bernstein, he's one of the best.


I don't really have a fav. They all can annoy me at one point or another.

Steve Holdsworth is the main man....knows his stuff and dos'nt talk garbage like most commentators seem to do

Also Richie Woodhall is a no nonsense commentator who knows is stuff also

I also like Antonio Tarver and Al Bernstein

Jim Watt is ok but too many 10-10 rounds for my liking...lol

Job Biscuit (also Emmanual Stewart is ok)!!!

eh eh!!!

As a lead commentator I liked Ian Darke, but he doesnt do much on Sky Sports now.

Currently: Max Kellerman, Steve Farhood and Al Bernstein.

Speaking of Larry Merchant, I recently read an article he wrote in 1968 called "Beethoven to Boxing" about the boxing fandom of David Amram, a jazz composer, that changed my view on him. It's in a great book on boxing, I recommend highly, called: "At the Fights: American Writers on Boxing," edited by George Kimball and John Schulian. Merchant, at least was, or is, depending on how you look at it, a great boxing pundit.

I don't really have a favourite but guys who have actually fought make better commentators, guys like Roy Jones are good commentators. Roy should retire and become a commentator on HBO.
From the HBO team I like Max Kellerman and the sky sports guys aren't bad apart from Jim Watt.

Yeah I tend to agree with this, guys like Tyson & Tarver always point out good things

As much as I personally disliked Howard Cosell, he did call some great fights. As for a favorite I don't know that I really have one at the moment, they're all pretty annoying at times.
