Who is the least annoying color commentator in boxing?

[El Kabong]

I chose Al Berstein #1 because he knows his stuff and doesn't try to steal the show like Atlas or Merchant #2 I don't have Showtime and therefore I don't get to watch it enough to be annoyed by him.

I think the Showtime guys are far superior to HBO.

I like Joe Tessitore and Bob Papa as the lead announcers....Lampley is a stooge. But as far as color/blow by blow Al Berstein is a good dude to have. He knows the sport his opinions aren't outrageous and he knows what he's talking about

Manny Steward.. dude is one of the more level-headed color guys it seems.

Al Bernstein is my favorite commentator in sports period.

He knows boxing very well, and is a real fan and nice guy.

Plus he's not afraid to rock those yellow teeth!

As I'm in the UK, I would have to go with Richie Woodhall, he never goes too over the top, and is pretty good at calling fights even if one of his closest friends (Calzaghe) is involved.

This is like voting for the second tallest midget in the circus. Aside form Bernstein, the other choices are grime. They either have verbal constipation (Merchant), sound like wannabe street toughs with horrible grammar (Atlas), or are nasal motor-mouths with whinny NYC accents (Farhood-the very worse). As far as I'm concerned, the least annoying announcer is the mute button.

i'd say it has to go to Roy Jones and George Foreman, although Foreman would get over excited sometimes lol but he would defend fighters from the favoritism of HBO especially in the Jone/Ruiz fight, Sean O'Gradey also is a decent commentator

I find him too biased towards british fighters

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

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
