After all the stick that Bunce and Watt get, what would be the best pundit team. Let says that it has to include; 1. Play by Play Commentator 2. Co Commentator (Ex Pro) 3. Ring Side Interviewer and then in the Studio; 1. Ex Pro 2. Current Pro 3. Journo 4. Presenter
Rignside; 1. Ian Darke 2. Richie Woodhall 3. Max Kellerman and then in the Studio; 1. Johnny Nelson 2. David Haye 3. Claude Abrahms 4. Jim Lampley
HBO a couple of years ago. Larry, Jim and George. You can't beat that ever. British commentators are really weak. Bunce and Watt are ok, that's it.
Duke would surely be involved. I'd like to hear Mike Tyson commentating. I like Jonny Nelson as a pundit. He calls fights well and is very articulate.
I don't know too much about American commentators, but the British ones would be as follows: Ian Darke - Commentator Jim Watt - Co-commentator Jim Rosenthal - Interviewer The pundits would be Glenn McCrory, Nicky Piper/Barry McGuigan and Johnny Nelson Each have their own faults - Nelson hugs any fighter from Sheffield, and sometimes dishes out bizarre cards (Williams 116-112 Quintana being a case in point), Nicky Piper is too negative, whilst McCrory can get overexcited. Commentary wise, Ian Darke is better than John Rawling, as he has a clearer tone, and better calmness, whilst Jim Watt sees the fight and calls it superbly (irritating though he can be at times), whilst Jim Rosenthal is a great interviewer - Adam Smith from Sky is also good, but can hug certain fighters, whilst hating on others (Ricky Hatton springs to mind, as does Junior Witter, for obvious reasons!) Stateside, I think Kellerman is less afraid to ask difficult questions, and is much more articulate than Larry Marchant, who could talk a glass eye to sleep. I don't know anything about their commentators, other than the fact that Lederman is often controversial.
I'll never forget him describing Lewis as 'one of these big lumbering guys, who walks in looking for a big right'. That bloke hasn't got a clue.
Who was commenting for the Pac fight at the weekend? He came out with a gem...."The best 12th round ever seen in the second half of a fight"
