    For me, hands down, Max Kellerman.

    1. whenever he says "pound for pound" (Which he says way too often) it really gets on my nerves. it's the way he enunciates it is really annoying. he really stresses those specific words and loudly, to make sure you don't forget and repeats it.

    2. Also, whenever he interviews a non English speaking fighter in English and asks fast, long winded & complicated questions as though they already understand English perfectly. what a twat. show some respect, Max!

    3. Also, he's too long winded in his questions for post fight interviews with all fighters. just get to the point, Max.

    4. Whenever Ward is fighting, he's full blown fan boy and it's so unprofessional.

    what about you?

    100% on the money. Asking foreign fighter long meandering questions full of SAT words is the one that really annoys me. Not that Max did well on his SAT's of course. He's just a pretentious illiterate.

    My 5 most annoying:

    Atlas
    Kellerman
    Bernstein
    Faitelson
    Gil Clancy. I know he's dead, but he was so annoying he's still on my list.

    You guys are a joke! These guys are entitled to their opinions and when you dont agree with them suddenly theyre "biased" or "annoying". The truly worst and i mean BY FAR the worst boxing announcer is Mauro Ranello!!! **** him and his stupid A$$ long drawn out forced metaphors. **** him! His voice is also like nails on a chalkboard.

    Mauro Ranello. His dick riding of McGregor was shameful.

    1. Max Kellerman
    ----Nails across chalkboard
    ----Fire alarms

    Guy is annoying, biased as hell, never has any good input.

    Also he is a racist against white fighters.
