Favourite commentators?

Larry Merchant and Steve Holdsworth.

 

Not a single one, they all suck

 

Did not always agree with his views, and there were more polished performers, but I always respected his love of the sport. Anyone who gave out his personal address to use for competitions etc., clearly was, like me, a boxing nerd!

 

The CBS Sports Spectacular. Tim Ryan & Gil Clancy

 

Don Dunphy, Gil Clancy, Roy Jones jr, Al Bernstein, Howard Cosell and Gus Johnson.

 

Jim Watt was a terrific color man, one of the few guys who could accurately gauge where a fight was going and what the corners would try to do going forward.

Holdsworth always comes across as a guy who's 95% opinion and outspokenness. Being blunt and harsh doesn't necessarily mean that you're being insightful (which could just as easily apply to this sentence that I'm writing), and it often makes for a listen that sounds more like combative talk radio than a dramatic boxing broadcast.

 

Suger Ray lenord, I couldn't make out a single thing hed say but it seemed interesting.

I'm with you. I always liked Al the best.

 

Bernstein, Clancy ND Ryan, also Alex Wallau and Dan Dierdorf. They were terrific as a team.

The only one I can't stand to listen to is Dunphy. We was frankly terrible.

 

@salsanchezfan Wallau and Dierdorf did indeed make a good team.

Tim Ryan and Gil Clancy were absolutely great together.
I also love Al Bernstein.

I'm not a fan of Jim Lampley. At all. Merchant tended to annoy me, and never came up with anything interesting to say, in my opinion.
Never took to 'colonel' Bob Sheridan either.
On the British side, I like Jim Watt.

 

Tim Ryan & Gil Clancy were fabulous.

Dierdorf: "So and so weighed in yesterday at 130, and they say he's coming in the ring today at about 140. It's hard to gain 10 pounds in a day!"

Wallau: "Watch ne."
