    I totally disagree. SRL is an excellent commentator and I much prefer listening to him call a fight than most of the boxing commentators out there.

    Sugar Ray Leonard is by far the most useless announcer who brings nothing to the table via commentary.

    He gives next to zero insightful analysis like an Andre ward or Roy Jones.
    Has zero Charisma like a Big George or Pauli Malinaggi.
    & fumbles over his words like Larry merchant. He is basically collecting a pension check for his ATG status.

    I can’t think of a single active announcer / retired fighter who is worse.

    Exactly. It's so cringy watching someone copying other people's mannerisms, especially when it's not even intentional. Bradley is like an 8 year old child that gets easily influenced.

    Rather listen than Leonard, than Tim getting all excited and being a wannabe Atlas.

    Whats funny about it is that i think he could actually be good if he tones down the atlas gimmick.

    Timmy is just an unlikeable guy to me. But the Atlas **** on top of it makes me dislike him more. I love it when Dre checks him and disagrees with him. Timmy too much of a ***** to stick up for himself and argue back.

    I think he's trying to be the Charles Barkley of boxing punditry which is something no fan wanted.

    Yeah I can't stand listening to him. His boxing knowledge is limited in my opinion and he sounds even worse when he tries to make factual statements about what he is seeing. I never feel like I learn anything from him but I am always sold on what Ward is saying.

    I was only half watching the fights last night but I kept hearing Boom Boom making these orgasmic screams when somebody landed a decent punch. As far as Bradley, I don't remember him being this off the wall before. Like he is trying to come up with some kind of new personna or something. The main problem with all of them is they have too many guys trying to scream over each other. One guy, maybe two is all you need to call a fight

    Showtime and HBO (RIP) were the only good commentary and analysis teams.

    FOX, DAZN and ESPN suck so bad, I mute them all.

    I agree Paulie is the best right now. Lewis, Foreman and Jones were good too. Ward is right behind Paulie.
