    Mind you, some ex pugs haven't exactly covered themselves in glory when asked for their opinions live on air.
    Some who spring to mind, (who should have let their fists do the talking, then retired for good), include:
    Alan Minter; Nigel Benn; Mark Kaylor....

    Without a shadow of a doubt it is Kellerman. I think Buncey has been getting some unfair stick and whatever you say about him he knows the sport. As for Kellerman, he is a totally unprofessional fanboy who delivered one of my favourite lines in recent times in the 2nd round of the Calzaghe-Jones fight when he said 'Roy Jones is making Joe Calzaghe look like a washed up Felix Trinidad". Classic. The soppy tit was in tears by the end of that fight

    'That's his danger punch!' - I don't think I need to say any more, do I?

    the trouble with Rosenthal/Adam Smith etc is they're 'manufactured' Boxing commentators.
    They probably never had any interest in the sport before they were told to get ready for an upcoming fight...
    The rest is history.....!

    Does anyone remember Sky's Gary Norman of about 15 years ago...
    Used to think he was a bit of a geezer...
    Winked at the camera at the end of the show.....!

    He's not the bloke that presented the 'Lennox Lewis: I'm British and I'm Bad' video from 1992 is he? Blonde fella.

    Ronald MacIntosh is about 6 foot 10 - I assumed he was a basketball player or something.

    I think David Croft should stick to F1 and Darts. Dont mind the rest.

    Ronald MacIntosh wins the award for ugliest pundit/commentator hands down.

    Most irritating for me is Steve Holdsworth or Adam Smith

    Steve holdsworth is unbearable, i tend to turn the volume off if i am watching a eurosport boxing show. But then i realise that I am missing out on the genius that is Bob Mee. Fantsatic knowledge, and not afraid to say when he thinks holdsworth is being a stupid ****!
    Can't believe that Bunce is getting stick. The man is a legend.

    I think when you typed in the word 'legend' you must've been distracted and meant to tap in 'W A N K E R.'

    Right?!

    I never saw this vid.

    But he was blond.

    And would've put his name to something like 'Lennox Lewis: I'm British and I'm Bad,' for sure!

    Gary Norman changed the face of boxing presentation - remember that when Naz and co had that great ITV run back in the 90s there was NO presentation. It came on, they fought, Newbon got in the ring and tried to be rude and they went off air - 60 minutes. Bish, bosh and bang. SKY changed it all. Trust me and Gary was top banana.
    I'd have Gazza back as a sidekick in a nanno second - feel the love.

    Adios.
