    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.

    Al Bernstein is the best one. He's a nice guy and knows his boxing, except when he is mislead by the predjudices and nonsense of Tarver.

    I really like the Sky Sports team, as long as there isn't a British guy fighting.

    Al Bernstein is always good. I also have a soft spot for Larry Merchant. Bernstein is a voice of reason and Merchant says what he wants.

    The best boxing commentator I have ever heard was Jim Healy. He used to do the fights from the Olympic Auditorium when I was a kid. (They would play, live on the radio, I think, then a week later on television). He didn't talk too much and he generally limited himself to pertinent and fight related comments, as opposed to these buffoons that think the fight is only interesting if they are talking too.
    The best part is how, when the crowd would go wild over a punch, he would tell you, from ringside, if it had actually landed and if it was effective. and he wasn't biased and one-sided in his call of fights.
