    Well it was often said a mere dirty look was enough up open up his skin around his eyebrows! ;)

    Harry Carpenter was just amazing...that whole era of BBC commentary had an ethos...say little...and when you do say something...make sure you only say something that adds to the picture.

    Tim Ryan and Gill chance were great...and marvin hagler was amazing alongside them

    Steve holdsworth was chatty,interesting and no one held a 3 hour broadcast on their own as well as this man....often with some poor or domestic quality product in front of him.

    Jim Watt.legend

    Al Bernstein......always excellent

    Richie Woodhall......old skool

    Teddy Atlas (liked him on espn and also fight night games)

    My worst commentators

    Jim Neilly

    Adam Smith and whole present day Sky set.

    Old time growler Mcrory
