Former boxers that are most knowledgeable about the sport?

He gets a lot of hate but Roy Jones Jr is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to calling a fight. A couple times he has had some bias, like most people but he usually calls a fight perfectly. He constantly is calling things the other commentators miss. I remember the Trinidad/Mayorga fight and him saying Trinidad needs to go to the body. A round or 2 later, Trinidad went to the body and either dropped Mayorga or had him hurt.

 

Definitely Roy Jones. Tarver also seems to know his stuff. Most trainers who were
Once fighters?

 

Jones is the most knowledgeable former boxer-turned commentator

Even though he's still fighting ffs

 

Jones and we cant forget Paulie as well...

 

Mike Tyson is ridiculously knowledgable, he was a true scholar of boxing. Watching countless hours of fight films up on the old projector in Cus D'amato's house. The guy's a freakin encyclopedia haha. One reason why he fought like such a seasoned vetren at such a young age with little experience in my opinion

 

I watch Chris Byrd's fight analysis on youtube and find him to be quite knowledgeable.

 

Have you ever listened to a fight he was commentating? If so, you should already know the answer

 

Jones is overrated as a commentator, surprised hbo has not canned him.

 

Please explain
