    Watching the Magic Man help call the Comcast card lead by Ran Nakash this week, I was impressed how professional he was. I know the man knows his boxing history and it seems a good fit. He's almost as good as that other Magic Man Tarver...hell, maybe they could do a show together?

    Magic Man should not only be a boxing commentator but have his own reality show. True story...

    _Insert quote with response or pic to Jersey Shore.

    What was this about anyway. Which card did he commentate I would like to see...

    Paulie did well to make it as far as he did as a fighter, but I think he's got even better potential with commentary. He's a natural for it, knows his stuff, and keeps it interesting.

    If nothing else, give the dude a weekly segment on FNF to air his opinions.

    Tyson's another guy I love to hear talk about the sport. Throw him on a broadcast where he gets to break a fight down or talk a little history, and I challenge any fan not to walk away at least a little bit smarter about boxing.

    hmmm, good idea. the trash talkers who aren't punchy usually make good commentators.

    his legs look gone now so maybe his boxing days at a top level are over, well dependant on styles anyways.

    this could be his next move, but i'd have to hear that card for myself. you have a link mate?

    Sure. He tells it like it is. His colorful character and talking will liven up the discussion.

    He said he wants to go into commentary eventually which would be great IMO. He probably wouldn't let anyone else get a word in though :deal

    I'd like him to interview the fighters in the ring after the fight :deal

    Still reckon he'll fight in Italy a couple times though. But I suppose if he makes good money commentating...

    I'd love Paulie as a commentator because he's got a great personality, he really knows boxing, and he's not afraid to speak the truth even when he knows many people don't want to hear it. I wish they'de make him Lennox Lewis replacement on HBO. I'd love to hear him and Larry Merchant together I guarantee you they would go back and fourth.

    I don't think non-gay boxing fans or non-gays in general would enjoy that.
