    I find bhop to much of a fake gangster and self righteous sometimes like that time he was bragging about eating a piece of cheesecake on Instagram lol. But imagine emanual Pacquiao: "well um, well um,etc "

    Cotto would be another rough one. He might say only six words the entire broadcast.

    Lewis is too self absorbed to be a good commentator

    Lewis criticized Fury for being close to Wilder on the ropes and for not throwing good inside punches, they he was smothering his work and that he should back up a little to give himself space to throw more effective punches.

    The idiot didn't realize that Wilder was being badly worn down by the 274 lbs Fury was imposing on him and doing maximum damage by draining his energy with it. Giving Wilder room to throw that right hand would have been suicide

    LOL at thread title, OP!

    Lenny is an endearing character, when commentating!

    Mr Haye is good, I like his honestly and excitement levels.

    Haye injects himself into the ring mid fight - talking about 'if i was in there or if i was in his corner'

    Haye is the most self absorbed pundit in the game.

    Andy Lee
    Paulie
    Barry Jones (only when they are not network fighters)
    Steve Lillis

    Are the best in the game.

    The problem is that pundits are actively shilling instead of talking from a neutral standpoint. Can you imagine watching MOTD and hearing a commentator mid game using the same kind of shilling talk about their favourite team?

    Punditry in boxing needs to have a new approach.

    How DARE you. Mr. Hayes is boxing comedic royalty.

    On a serious note- do you actually propose Barry and Steve as good commentators? Boring Barry and Steve mini-bunce Lillis?

    That's not a bad observation, but communicated/executed poorly.
