    i think more fighters should be employed as analysts instead of these fat twats who have no respect or empathy for boxers. so which former or current boxers would make good commentators/analysts

    Mike Tyson (knows boxing inside out and is very articulate)

    Naz: i would love to see Naz as an analyst it would be hilarious. imagine him on FFN the ratings would go through the roof

    All you would hear from Naz is:

    'If I had fought him in my prime, you know what I mean, I would have knocked him out big style. I was bloody good, you know'

    I would hate Naz to be a commentator or analyst. Seriously, just the thought of having to listen to him talk **** after I thought my ears were safe once he retired.

    As an analyst, I think Evander Holyfield would give a good insight and he can be interesting to watch in interviews etc. As a commentator I'd like the idea, certainly on the British stage, of someone like Robin Reid. Otherwise, Chris Byrd would be a good option.

    Some are quite odd choices, I know.

    Yeah, Enzo Calzaghe would be a bit excitable, but a welcome addition nonetheless. :smoke

    Whilst I don't always agree with Piper he is a very good addition as an analyst as he has shown over the years with Sky. Someone with Holyfield's experience would make for good listening.

    Hopkins are you ****ing kidding me? ****, we'd need subtitles to understand that crackhead, and he talks an awful lot of bollocks. He knows boxing quite clearly, but he's not very articulate with his words

    I can't think of any I'd desperately like to see. Roy Jones is good, hopefully he'll make more regular appearances.
