    How about SRL, if he'd be up for it? He's smart and articulate.

    The best is always when RJJ mentions how one of the fighters being discussed has a 'glass jaw' and 'folds once he gets hit on the chin'. Always cringeworthy, coming from him.

    I don't think he's that bad. I like him more than Andre Ward boring ass.

    I have heard he is horrible but I have never watched a fight with British commentary

    Jones is great at commentating. You got to have a guy there who has been in the ring at the highest level and I don't think anyone I have seen has been much better than Roy yet.

    huh? Hes gone downhill maybe but a few years ago he was one of the best commentators in boxing, period.

    Been there, done that. Max needs to go, and so does Ward. Roy does a great job.

    He's not bad. Mauro on Showtime is the worst

    He's gotten a little lazy compared to when he first started, but I like his insights. And I actually get amused when he does that "heh, heh, heh" thing.

    So, specifically, what is wrong with Roy as a commentator? Is it his personality you don't like?

    I wish I'd made this a poll, because I can't believe people like Roy.

    Roy, may well be suffering from brain damage. This is a guy that said he was going to walk away with his faculties, he will end up ina a very bad way inthe future!

    He sucks. He's biased and his voice is not good for commentary. I like Roy but yeah. Showtime's crew is better.

    Paulie, to my mind, is the best. A genuinely smart guy and a great personality.
