As I watched FFN last week, I felt a great urge to email sky asking them to remove pundit, Nicky Piper, but I didnt. Who do you think is the best British pundit, P4P?
Spencer Oliver aint bad neither is Johnny Nelson tbh but all sky pundits are reading from the same script and it is so boring very little real analysis of the fight or acknowledgment of it in context to others that have occured in the past thus each fight seems to have a very individual feel as though they are not connected to a wider British picture
Darke ain't really a pundit. I love watching Buncey. He always got his view, doesn't sit on fence just gets stuck in. To be honest that line up is pretty crap when you look at it. A dislike near on all of them.
Jim Watt is probably the most knowledgable in an analytical sense but he doesn't really put it across well. Or maybe he does, but he's become boring and stale at this point.
I liked Jim Watt as a fighter, and I like him as a pundit...its always good to hear from someone who has been at the "coalface" at a decent level
Well he did invent the steam engine I suppose. He's alright I suppose, though I seem to hear a lot of Chinese commentary nowadays. At the end of the day, I think nowadays, with the advent of the Internet, sort of everyone is a pundit and you often hear more sense, knowledge, from the likes of fans of the sport on forums and say YT predictions for example, than you do from a few minutes analysis from so called professional pundits - having said that, there's a overwhelming amount of tripe out there too! - goes without saying (myself often included 99.99% of the time).
Not sure who's the best, but McCrory and Piper are a distant last. They'd be lucky to get 0/10. McCrory should have a new career as a linesman, he spends so much time flag waving.... and Piper I just aren't keen on. The whole set up at Sky needs a shake up, new presenters, new pundits.... retain Darke for the hotseat and Watt for the studio..... actually encourage them to express their opinions. They need to promote the fighters they are showing - tell us who they are, why they are on, what their career paths are. As it is, they are just doing the bare minimum, almost stuffing a couple of fights in between the rugby and something else on a late Friday slot.
