C'mon then who is the Best British Boxing Pundit? Steve Bunce Richie Woodhall Barry Mcguigan Duke Mckenzie Jim Watt Nicky Piper Johnny Nelson (If I've forgot anyone then pick em' yourself) At least we don't have to put up with Max Kellerman, god is he annoying! Adios
Probably Barry Mac. He manages to stay level headed most of the time and obviously loves the sport. Duke McKenzie is a treasure and I for one would be very dissapointed if they ever replaced him. I swear I heard him say 'he's one tough ****' once on ITV. Nelson is good too, far more interesting as a pundit than he ever was as a fighter.
lol aint that the truth ( although did you see the crazy splits he did just beofer the Cantatore fight ? funny as hell ) I really like Nelson as a person and towards the end of his career he got a bit better to watch but jeez sometimes he truly was like paint drying !
Johnny Nelson for me is by far the best. I think he was the only one of the Sky team who picked Mayweather to beat DLH and the only one who scored the fight to Mayweather!
Jim Watt gets a bit carried away on the big nights and tends to contradict himself during bouts. Seems a decent chap but not the sharpest tool in the box. Bunce is a complete buffoon but is amusing in a cringeworthy sort of way. The David Brent of boxing punditry. Piper and Woodhall are completely inoffensive and perfectly articulate but form something of a vortex onscreen from time to time. Nowhere near as soul destroying as listening to Alan Shearer talking about football mind.
Shearer on football,sometimes so souless and drab,a lot of footballers use false modesty in interviews and claim the ball just luckily slipped of their leg when in reality it screamed in from 30 yards and they are behind the scenes boasting about it for weeks with teammates,the pub and the local dogs as well....
Nelson is the best for me , McGuigan was great when he was on Sky but now he bows to his paymasters too much . I loved Nelson's fight with Cantatore , him mocking the Italian crowd afterwards was hilarious .
