    It's not great but it could be worse.

    As long as they keep that waste of blood and organs Steve Bunce off air then I'm happy.

    Nah. You could write what he knows about boxing on the back of a postcard.

    He also crawls around fighters when they are there and them slates them when they ain't like the snide he is.

    Having a laugh. On setanta he exposed his distinct lack of knowledge by making various incorrect statements, silly predictions and all round awful punditry. He's the Andy Townsend of Boxing.

    I've heard Ed Robinson and Andy Scott is it? do some broadcasts, undercards and such, think Sky need to go with these younger guys and perhaps some active or recently retired fighters as colour commentators.

    Think some of the younger fanbase would prefer some guys on there who they'd actually seen fight, Ryan Rhodes and Jamie Moore are 2 that spring to mind that have impressed me in the past

    Perhaps the ocaasional 'Star' name brought in for the biggest bouts, Malignaggi, Roy Jones, Lennox perhaps

    Mix it up a bit

    Just look at any of the build- up to

    Haye V wlad - the one that was called off.

    Haye V chisora. His shouting of nonsense in the build up was unbearable

    His embarrassing conduct with B-Hop was excruciating.

    That's just a couple off the top of my head.

    He's a cretin. There was a reason why loads of organisations/promoters banned this idiot from attending their fights.

    Absolutely not. A clear example is the Burns - Gonzalez fight where within half a round he realised Ricky was outclassed and in real trouble.
