    It’s not about knowledge or experience , commentating is about communication

    Tarver is a good broadcaster tho, I always liked him. He is good at play-by-play but not so much at color commentary.

    Spencer Fearon. A guy who has certain bias and doesn’t really try to hide it, let’s just say.

    andre ward always starts rambling about weird pseudoscientific arm chair psychology. 2 guys are fighting and he starts talking about big brothers and little brothers and sigmund freud like he didnt just beat people in the balls his entire career

    I think some former fighter broadcaster, announcer, analysts etc have their niches

    I don't like Tim Bradley as an announcer but I like his articles on ESPN

    I like SergioMora better on the on the Mannix-Mora podcast than as a ringside commentator

    I saw Tarver mentioned, I thought he was pretty good on SHO and is still good on his YT channel. (I don't watch it religiously)

    I saw Malik Scott on this thread, I thought his break down on Ring Mags YT channel was pretty good for Stevenson-Lopez

    I am not really a fan of Sugar Ray Leonard's commentary and Ray Mancini who I respect as a fighter was not the best either

    Lennox Lewis was prone to making gaffes but I thought when he called major heavyweight fights his analysis and insight was interesting to me
