    They were much better than Jim Watt. I wonder why Watt always gets to commentate.

    Have heard Rawling and McCrory make Grays & Keys look like kids tv presenters.

    I don't really like McCrory as a pundit or especially commentator. He just seems to mumble nonsense, nothing particularly analytical or interesting. There is no way he's better than Watt regardless of the latters faults.


    Bob Mee is a great addition. I actually like the Eurosport guys too, they are funny.

    Why not?

    He's better than McCrory. I don't get what you guys are on about. He never says anything insightful, ever. Watt shits on him, even with his biases and annoying sayings.

    Bob Mee is not used properly,i wouldn't mind him being the co-commentator,not a big fan of McCory.Jim Watt gets on my nerves and his commentary and scorecard for the Haye- Vaulev fight was terrible but he can be okay.The one i cant stand is Piper,he always sits on the fence and looks disinterested, i don`t think he even likes boxing anymore.

    Agree. In fact, Nelson, McCrory and Piper should be scrapped. Sky need to freshen the thing, that means getting rid of those three not having nine man commentary teams

    I think you're going a bit overboard Rob. There is nothing wrong with a bit of knowledge on air. It ain't dangerous. :lol:

    There isn't anything wrong with Bob Mee, because I think he appeals to the fans we already have which is also important. Like I said, knowledge isn't going to hurt anyone. We have to put up with far too many clueless mongs in sporting punditry positions that don't really have much of an idea beyond their own experiences.

    He fulfils a certain role. Whereas guys like McCrory and Piper are the real problem and provide nothing to the overall experience of watching boxing on Sky.
