    I think so.
    Appreciating his views on ITV 4 right now.

    To me, yes. I just like his low key, humble, knowledgeable, usually non bias style.

    By far. And he has been for a long time. He puts unqualified clowns like Max Kellerman to shame.

    Hardly. He's not even the best commentator on his own show since Paulie corrects and schools him constantly. Manny Steward was light years better, as is Roy Jones.

    Bernstein is decent.

    I think Ward/Paulie are good. Emanuel Steward was also good. I don't think RJJ is quite as good.

    He is MUCH better than Lampley or Kellerman.

    Yes he is, for me, and he's also one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet from my experience (having met him a couple of times, having lunch with him once years ago).

    His role is different than that of RJJ or Paulie or Steward, who are experts -- color men -- while he is more in the role of ****yst.

    I have always enjoyed Al's insight each time he has been commentating, but his little stint over her looks to be over now. Sky should try and sign him up ASAP
