    Agree Dave Clark and boxing do not go. I remember the Hart commentary that you refer to, this was the Hatton-Pac fight, and he was the only one that I could listen without wanting to slit my wrists.

    Ian Darke is good, but I am kinda sick of him, I prefer to hear a different voice.

    Who did Setanta have in the chair for the Haye-Barrett fight?

    David Croft. Commentates on loads of things for the BBC, mostly Darts, Bowls and their F1 radio coverage.

    I think the reason he hasn't been on Setanta recently is that most Setanta boxing dates (British and German) tend to coincide with the F1, which obviously takes priority.

    I think he's a good commentator and hopefully he's back on the boxing soon. As for my line up....

    Presenter-Andy Kerr
    Studio Guests-Steve Bunce, Spencer Oliver and Jon Thaxton
    Commentators-Ian Darke, Jim Watt and Richie Woodhall
    Reporter-Rob Walker

    Went for an all British line-up to keep it simple. Plenty of personalities on the studio panel, knowledge at ringside, and enthusiastic reporting.

    Jobs a good'un

    Jimmy Magee comes up with some weird analogies, he must sit around all day thinking up that stuff and then sporadically reads it out whenever he cannot think of anything to say about the fight.....Apart from that he is tolerable..

    Didn't Cordoba slip in the Dunne fight but then Magee tried to say that the slip "had served its purpose as long as Dunne was concerned" or something along those lines?

    Harry Carpenter. Just Harry, on his own. Remember the Rumble In The Jungle.

    "He's got him! He's got him!...And I don't think Foreman is going to get up! Oh my God he's won the title back at thirty two!"

    Classic.

    I'm sure I read that Torres turned up to a fight pissed and that's why HBO fired him. :think

    Why anyone would want Jim Watt as part of a commentating dream team is beyond me.

    I know they aren't commentators but fighters are often asked to commentate from time to time so wouldn't it be funny to have Hopkins and Calzaghe both commentate on a Froch fight :)
