    Is it just me or is Ed just not cut out for the job? I dont mean to offend the bloke because he seems nice enough but for as long as he has been interviewing fighters he still seems very amateurish. His questions are very basic, has the same monotonous tone every time. Get Buncy in or someone with a bit more character is my advice to Sky.

    Maybe Ed can be demoted to the tea boy or something. :good

    The Sky Panel is the most perfect team of boxing experts known to man.

    He's way better than Adam Smith.

    He's nothing special. But he's by no means the worst in the SKY BOXING team. The worst has to be:

    Nicky Piper - Why Piper ever landed a job as a boxing pundit I don't know. He's just sits there looking pissed off and ignorant. He really is an AWFUL pundit.

    Glen McCrory - A lovely bloke but has no training in punditry or commentray. He looks awkward most of the time.

    ADAM SMITH - THE WORST! He over exaggerates everything and constantly talks like a ring announcer. He really pisses me off.

    This should be the idea team:

    Coomentary - Ian Darke, Jim Watt.

    Pundits - Buncey and Nelson.

    PS: The commentator for primetime is worse. He is TERRIBLE.

    Jim Watt is the worst commentator in the history of the universe

    Didn't he mess up the owen reid fight lats night? Asking reid where he is going next? after losing and congratulating him as though he won. Reid had to remind him who won.

    I don't like the way he cuts people off during the interviews, Craig Slater would do a better job.

    Craig Slater is too much of a dicksucker to interview properly.... he'd just start talking about Floyd Mayweather and ignore the person he was grilling.

    Simon Thomas did the best interview when he spoke to Adam Booth on SSN.

    To me he's in the Gabriel Clarke league, loves the sound of his own voice far too much. He's rude, he always cuts in and asks BS questions.

    Like last night, when he was interviewing the reserves that were to come in for the final. It was awkward as **** with him in there grilling them.

    I don't know how so many wankers get these jobs, you need personable people.

    He used to box i believe...he used to be ok but i started noticing he's getting ruder and abrupt in interviews. Slater as some one said...he hugs more nuts then a squirrel that ****.

    I love how he whips the mic away and asks another question whenever the boxers want to mention their sponsors etc
