    These guys toe the party line so badly it's embarrassing. Froch telling people that Bellew is a scouse version of Willie Pep when the mood takes him, Spencer Oliver pretending that Bellew looked great at the open work-out. Paul Smith saying whatever creepy Adam and Hearn tell him. All a bit pathetic from supposedly neutral, paid pundits.

    Jim Watt is actually badly missed. Remember him calling Froch vs Groves 1 as it really was? You'd now get Smith or Macklin pretending the fight was a 50-50 classic after 6 rounds. I doubt Froch or Nelson could name the weight Vasyl Lomachenko or Roman Gonzalez fight at. That Vic Wakelin guy needs to take a look, because Adam Smith and Hearn are employing dog ****.

    Agree with this guy. The pundits are utter gash.

    Froch won't know anything about Loma or Gonzalez. He'll have never seen them fight and he definitely can't be bothered to look on YouTube. He's stealing a living out of Sky.

    Froch is a joke to be honest, he doesn't know anything about foreign fighters and is limited on British ones. He doesn't have his finger on the pulse at all, he just turns up for Box Office events.

    They are mostky terrible.

    Bellew and Coldwell make the best pundits imo.

    Froch is terrible and knows **** all about non matchroom fighters. He said the cruiserweight division is one of the weakest!

    Nelson is just an uncle tom

    Paul smith is unbearable
