    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

    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.
