Mine would be jim watt, johnny nelson, barry mcguigan and steve bunce, could you imagine the debates these guys would have between each other?! Then again cant picture steve bunce might be too loud and drown out the other guys
I'd have Ian Darke and Richie Woodhall commentating with Andy Kerr, Buncey, Barry Mac and Spencer Oliver in the studio.
i dunno realy i have always wanted to watch a fight with the actual fighters in it talking me through it. Dunno about a specific line up but there is alot of good commentaters and you need this formula a well established and excellant journalist - keeps the show together, give their view, know what people want to here and often know alot of facts (e.g Reg Gutteridge) an ex fighter - to give a fighters perspective, to break down the fight (e.g Bernard Hopkins) A top trainer - to anaylse te fight also (e.g Gil Clancey)
AL BERNSTEIN! The guy is brilliant, IMO. I am also a fan of Duke McKenzie- he speaks when he needs to and isn't annoying. I also agree with jamie30002000 that Thaxton has taken to analysis and pre-fight commentary really well. Obviously Buncey gets the nod as well and everyone likes the Kerr-minator.
Commentating - Manny Stewart, Jim Nealy Studio - Andy Kerr (anchor), Buncey, McGuigan, Spencer Oliver
ive always wanted to watch Leonard vs Hagler with Leonard and especially Hagler shame it will NEVER happen
Carpenter and Gutteridge [rip] have to be the dream British team. The old man bangs on about Eamon Andrews being good.
they did a programme called reg and Harry on ESPN classic they watched old dights and discussed them inbetween rounds with each other it was interesting stuff
Commentary: Steve Albert, Roy Jones Jr, Larry Merchant Studio: Andy Kerr, Buncey, Spencer Oliver, Jon Thaxton Pre-fight interviewer: Gabriel Clarke, solely for comedy value.
Foreman is alright but he sometimes speaks so much **** its unbeleievable sometimes i dotn have a clue what he s meaning no love for Cosell i like him hes a nice character and cheery and really puts energy into it. or Dunphy a great boxing mind knows alot and a great commentater dosent have alot of emotion though
i think having more then two commentators like the yanks do is not good, they just talk over eachother. my choice would be of the current crop woodhall as a co-commentator, the man is just an education to listen to, very knowledgable technically and doesn't have an ego btw i think he'll make a great trainer main blow by blow commentator is a difficult one because there's not many good one's around these days, i like guys that get excited at the right times, have real enthusiasm and don't just seem positively bored. jim lampley was actually pretty good in the early days and blows hot and cold these days bit like ian darke if there had to be a third guy, i would have mike tyson the guy knows his boxing, surprisingly articulate and would bring in the viewers oh yeah and i would have bunce there in some sort of capacity probabily in the studio with a former pro, eubank or naz would be hilarious.
