    Watt and Reg were the ultimate commentators, they had a great chemistry with Reg's easy going way that he had and Watt's more analytical approach .. These 2 were easily the best ive ever heard and i'd have Barry Mcguigan and Johnny Nelson in the studio .... I wouldnt have Bunce because hes pissed most of the time and just shouts things, Kerr comes across like he's new to boxing and doesnt know the history of the sport and Nicky Piper is the most irritating boxing pundit in the history of the sport ..

    Foreman is rubbish, his commentary on Hopkins v Trinidad is ridiculous, hes so biased towards Trinidad its untrue .... Foreman shouldnt be anywere near boxing commentary.
    Roy Jones is also rubbish just because he talks about himself in the 3rd person like he'd say, 'If Roy was in there he'd do this .. ', it was funny but also kind of lame .... Hagler was a crap commentator, Leonard was very good ....

    If you tuned into that fight in the 9th round, you would think that it was Tito giving the boxing lesson by the way Foreman was going on. Even Merchant, as we all know no Hopkins hugger by any stretch of the imagination, said to George "Why don't you want to give Hopkins more credit George? He's fought a very good fight so far."

    I've revised my dream line-up.

    Commentating - Manny Stewart, Jim Nealy

    Studio - Andy Kerr (anchor), Buncey, McGuigan, James Toney.

    *I was trying to think of a mouthy yank for the studio before, so nice shout by 'bored' for mentioning James Toney. I can imagine Toney and Buncey going at it and McGuigan being the voice of calm, with Andy Kerr throwing more petrol to fan the flames and likely to be egging on Buncey with more ammo, it would be carnage, but great.

    Regarding the commentary, I dont want any bullshitting or non-stop waffling, just good incisive analysis, I want to concentrate on the fight and have some expert analysis, leave the messin for the studio commentary pre and post-fight.

    Richie Woodhall is the best analyst around, but Jon Thaxton shows promise.

    All-time best commentator has to be the great Harry Carpenter.

    Those two were great together, feel kinda sorry for Torres though he's meant to do his job as a translator but he can't help but laugh his arse off at everything Mayorga says.

    WHAAAAT?! No Colin Hart fans?????

    I really like Teddy Altlas' pre fight analysis on ESPN, where he shows how each fighter can win the fight outside with some guy where they throw pretend punches at each other.

    We could with something like over this side of the pond.

    Imagine Buncy outside throwing punches at Kerminator!!!!!
