    I don't always agree with him, but think he is a breath of fresh air to the commentary team. I think the Showtime team is spot on right now. HBO has become a bit meh with Lampley becoming a bit of a caricature and Kellerman has never really impressed me. I've always been a fan of Merchant, but he seems to be being pushed out bit by bit. Showtime seems the more together right now and you can't argue with the kind of card we got last weekend. HBO looked a bit lame up against that.

    Never could stand listening to Tarver before or after a fight.

    BUT..... he's good as a commentator. Well spoken, knows boxing, and he doesn't become a distraction. Hope he keeps it up.

    I think tarver is a great commentator...i'd rather hear him than almost any of the guys on hbo. He should give up this silly i'ma be heavyweight champion crap and keep his shirt on and stay behind the mic, he's good at it.

    i actually like Tarver as a commentator, wasn't Jones commentating on HBO Saturday night? IMO HBO should just hire Jones back full time

    Some of the worst boxers or the ones you hate end up being good commentators such as Johnny Nelson.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He's solid and equally capable on camera. Fluid and concise but not over bearing and ge does not repeat himself. Certainly won't be hearing some comic book Lampley crap .... BAM BAM....BAM BAM BAM

    I'm with you, I think he's doing a fantastic job. When you have a guy with as much experience and knowledge of boxing as Tarver has, who can also speak coherently and intelligently, then I think you have an asset to any commentary team.
