    Who do you all think was/is the best and worst boxer turned pundit of their sport ?


    Ken Norton was always pretty good.

    I think Big George has got to be one of the worst. Roy Jones wasn't bad though.

    Paulie Malignaggi is the best I've seen.

    Danny Jacobs was quite good standing in for the excellant Paulie Malignaggi
    Many years ago it seemed that the popular Jerry Quarry might have a post career future with the mike, but sadly it was not to be.

    I never liked watching Paul Malignaggi fight. I didn't like his style, his lack of power, or his attitude/Jersey guy image.

    But I think he's one of the best announcers (and probably my favorite) to come around in a very long time.

    He's excellent. I really like him (as an announcer). He seems to know more about boxing than everyone on that Showtime crew combined.

    Antonio Tarver was also excellent. It's too bad he lost his broadcasting gig. He was on a real roll there for a while.

    Duke McKenzie was always pretty good.
