    I think three in the booth is too many

    I'm always good with the colonel and dave bontempo when they put up old fights without the original commentary

    I'd take any combination of merchant, kenny, papa and match with a fighter like ward, bradley or jones or a rotation like that

    Rawling is a part-timer, he doesn't know much about boxing really. His one-eyed commentary of GGG v Canelo 2 was ridiculous, he had GGG winning by a mile even though everyone knew it was razor close.

    Adam Smith is a shouty fanboy and unbelievably annoying.

    Macintosh probably knows more than the pair of them combined but he talks far too much. He's also the weirdest looking human on the planet.

    The great Reg Gutteridge wasn't moved by a cut eye or anything, he'd seen so much in his army days that huge shots landed didn't draw an excited reaction, it was certainly different. Calm as can be and so never said anything ridiculous.

    Woodhall is the best of British. Most eloquent and knowledgeable pundit around and very good to listen to.

    Old Buncey is a shouty, squeaky buffoon but he loves the sport and really knows his onions. Him and Mike Costello are fantastic on the radio for big fights.

    Woodhall is quite basic in his knowledge. Really good guy though.

    Ben Davison when doing those tactic features is very impressive. Adam Booth would be too.

    I don't know anyone who can stand to listen to Bunce for more than 10 seconds without wanting to either kill him or themselves.
