Can you imagine if Tyson, Eubank and Benn were commentating together, it would sound like a box of snakes.
Here's Tyson commentating on the Julio Cesar Chavez vs Lonnie Smith fight back in 1991. [yt]pfGS-f1eldA[/yt]
Mike knows a lot. But that's related to the the art of commentary in only a very small way. Commentary is about how good you are with your tongue, how smooth your speech is, how well you can hold an audience, and having the sense to know when to turn it up or turn it down. Mike is no skilled talker. In fact quite the contrary, he is a below average speaker. Think of him holding a presentation for a big company. Lampley, RJ, Kellerman, Malignagi would hold attention and entertain the audience; Mike would bomb.
like someone said before, he is too frank, too honest, he will tell it how it is, which isn't what hbo or whatever want. They want cheerleading
