Anyone else like Tarver as an announcer?

[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.

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".

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.

Tarver is excellent, it was always going to be a guy like that (brash, a shit-talker) who was going to make the best commentator because they've been practicing their whole career. Mark my words, it will be the likes of Campbell, Mayweather & Haye who make excellent announcers once their careers are done. Allegedly, the HBO announcing job was between Lennox & Michael Bennt, but they decided to go with Lennox even though Bennt was miles better because he was the big-name fighter & audiences might not know who Bennt was

[Master]

This is similar to Johnny Nelson who was shite to watch but a very good commentator.

I dunno, I always thought Tarver was pretty good to watch. This was fun

Really?...Interesting...I never knew Bennt was even considered
