Anyone else like Tarver as an announcer?

[DaxxKahn]

I like him better as an announcer then a fighter....With the exception of the last fight card on Showtime where he just kept complaining that Lara was not going to be what he is hyped to because he did not stop Perez...I would take him over Lewis on HBO anyday

Yes a very good commentator like RJJ, very informative. I know Lennox Lewis is one of your favorite fighter's bro. But i think Lennox Lewis is a shit commentator in all honesty.

Ill be the first to admit he is a lousy commentator...I was really diggin Jones for a while but then he left to fight again

[amat]

I don't think Lennox is as bad as other people say but I guess I'm just not to hard on commentators, hopefully that willl be me one day and I would neg rep you all if you said this stuff about me. y
Tarver is great though, this must be what Denise Tarver saw in him. I love how he holds his fabricated smile on camera for extended lengths too.

[JonesJrMayweather]

My Roy Jones bias can't help but to say Fuck Tarver...

[killersheep]

I think he's a quite good commentator but he seems to get caught on things like a broken record sometimes. Never the less... He is good. I don't mind him at all. I think he's much better than some other fighters they tend to thow behind a mic. He actually is believable and even if he wasn't a fighter, you can take to him because he's pretty eloquent and follows the action well.

While we're on the subject... Can someone tell an exec at HBO that Lenox Lewis is an idiot?! Does Lewis have pictures of an HBO exec cheating on his wife or something?.. Cuz he is just bad! Great fighter... Horrible commentator.

I think Nate Campbell would be a good commentator as well.

My favorite Lennox Lewis quote of recent

LL: "See he needs to make an adjustment here"
BP: "So what specifically does he need to work on?"
LL: "An adjustment"

Awesome insight

I'm with Amat though, I mean it is what it is, commentator's aren't there to inform people that follow boxing closely, they're there for the casual fans.
I do think Tarver is a very good announcer. As an aside everytime I see BJ Flores, I think he's trying to sell me a used car.

BJ Flores will also be forgotten after accomplishing nothing.


True fact!!

I hate Flores... All acting like he'd fight Godfrey. That dude doesn't want to touch anyone near the top of the division and is content fighting fringe contenders. Well I'm content being uninterested in his "career".

[Spicoli]

Hes top notch and carries self very fluid,easy going but makes good points.Totally at ease on camera but does get a bit over the top smiley with a odd stutter laugh.He blows Lewis out of the water.Lewis is stiff,talks in random broken sentences and when he gets excited during a fight his statements sound more like questions....love his spats with Kellerman though.

[Hulk]

Yes Tarver is a very good commentator. He comes off as knowledgable, unbias and a nice guy.

Much different from when he was fighting.

Honestly I think Al Bernstein is the best commentator in boxing today.

Also Joe Tessitore does a good job tho he does get easily excited.

[CFH]

Tarver is great. Probably my favorite ex-fighter turned announcer.

Yeah Al is and has always been top notch

You gotta tell me what fight he said that stupidness in.

I cracked up just reading it. Hope I get to watch it.

It was a recent one, I can't remember if it was Maidana/Cayo or Alexander/Urango. It kind of stuck in my head's file system waiting for a thread just like this.

[Greig]

Tarver is really good behind the mic, I've listened to him on a couple of Showtime broadcasts and he's only going to get better.

Showtime has better announcers than HBO, and better fights.
