    Lampley to call the action, Merchant for telling the truth, metaphors and jokes, and Roy Jones for the actual boxing insight. Unlike most, I think Lewis is quite okay too, even if he's clumsy with words.

    I could do without the play by play, frankly. Give me Roy, Atlas, and Merchant (preferably drunk). I think Bernstein is great but he's too civil. The banter between those three would be epic.

    It's all good. I voted Bernstein.

    I really like the combination of Albert and Bernstein. Those Marquez-Vasquez fights are called terrifically.

    Lampley's not bad, but too much cheerleading. So for me...

    Play-by-play commentator: Steve Albert (Followed by Lampley)
    Fighter commentator: Jones (Followed by Tarver)
    "Expert" commentator: Bernstein

    Jim Lampley easily. So many memorable soundbites of his.

    I wasn't really a fan of Tarver when he fought but he's an excellent commentator. He really deserves more votes in my opinion. Bobby Czyz was really good although I don't believe he does it anymore.
