    Tarver is an excellent commentator. I think he is the best right now. You can't even tell he took punches for a living. Not to mention the guy is actually intelligent and educated. As a fighter Tarver spoke too much too soon and made himself too easy to dislike. As a commentator the guy is the real deal.

    Agree completely

    excellent commentator, he genuinely ends up working with morons who have no idea how exactly to call a fight. As soon as tarver pipes up you know its gonna be relevant to the situation. HBO and inparticularly lennox lewis could learn a thing or two from tarver on how to call a fight

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
