Best/Worst Boxers Turned Commentator

Ray Leonard the best.
He can foresee a lot of what fighters are planning. When he commentated JCC vs Rosario several times he would identify what JCC may do...t
"Now watch Julio spend of the ropes, when he gets his man where he wants...(seconds later) he hollerd "That's it, told ya!"

Mike Tyson. Never went overboard, knew when to talk & when to let the action go with no commentary

Shannon Briggs, the few times I heard him, really was on point.


Worst
Love Big George Foreman, but he was wrong almost always. And down in out last round where a fighter is getting his arse handed & George is still saying "...but all it takes is one shot" To which Larry Merchant comes in and corrects or checks him.

Lennox Lewis- doesn't over talk, just doesn't make much sense.
Roy Jones-kinda love/hate here. He is a very good commentator, but at times he just loves to compare his fights.

 

Yeah he saw Alfred Angulo tiring. I didn't think so knowing many a fight where 1st round is a doozy, then they settle in & catch that 2nd wind.

Roy said Alfred better not punch himself out. 30+ punches later Kirkland drops Angulo.

 

Big George is cool, he's just an awful commentator to me. I lost count how many times a fighter is getting pasted and wasted, then George hollars out "...Yea, but all it takes is one shot."

Merchant: "...but George...you've been saying that for 10 rounds now!"

Best Foreman moment was final round Jones vs Ruiz, Lamply & Merchant joking they will be glad if they no longer see Norman Stone again, and Ruiz holds a belt, but Jones exposed a real paper champion

Pissed George off!
Foreman: "..Don't say that don't be hypocrites, you helped promote the fight now you want to tear it all down!!!"
