    DiBella.

    Straight talker, honest as far as promoters go and told Jermain Taylor to take an extended break from Boxing, as Dibella had no intrest in promoting and making money off of him if Taylor was risking his health.

    Can't see Arum or Oscar making that same sacrifice.

    Michael Buffer. "Let's get ready to rrruuuuuummmmmbbbblllleee" still brings goosebumps.

    If you haven't had the opportunity to be in the crowd and hear him belt that out, do it.

    I do like the amount of videos he provides, and also the wide variety of people he interviews -- coaches, boxers, fans.

    That being said, I don't really like his approach to interviewing. He constantly interrupts the people that are trying to answer his questions, and often says really ridiculous things. In one recent video I watched he told Roger Mayweather that Eddie Futch trained Muhammad Ali. It was a really painful, facepalm type moment. It's fine for him to make mistakes (we all do it) but he comes out with really silly things on a consistent basis. He's spent years hanging around people in the boxing community and yet still comes out with things that even a casual fan would shake their head at. It's also irritating when people he interviews also say silly things (Roger Mayweather said that Floyd Jr would beat Ray Leonard because Camacho beat Leonard) and Seckbach was unable to point out the obvious fact that Leonard was finished and at the end of his career when that fight happened, because Seckbach probably didn't know that.

    He does have positive points, but I wish the above stuff didn't happen so much in his videos.

    Honestly, he'll be hugely missed when he's gone. I'm sure people don't think his role is important, but that **** gets me ****ing hype.

    Russ Anber, he is a true student of the sweet science.
