    Whoever they are someone will moan about it! Dont have any issues with commentators!

    Yeah sometimes they get it wrong or talk aload of bull, I watch the fight and interpret it myself I'm pretty good like that!

    Would he say this to any american fighter he was talking to? Nope. He'll snidely crawl all around them and massage their ego.

    I'm not gonna waste any more time on this. You obviously disagree and I don't care enough to trawl through the many interviews he's given to give further specific examples of his nonsense.

    Calling people cowards in that video, he needs to look at himself and when he literally bricked it because B-Hop was in a bad mood.

    Do you remember Derek Williams used to get paid to talk... hahaha


    Fooking hell, he was abysmal, literally braindead yet SKY used to pay him to speak until he started blabbering on about **** constantly when he spoke about Tyson. haha

    You must be a jock, no normal person who isn't injecting smack into their eye balls would have that opinion about Jim Watt.

    Jim watt is the king of the repeat statement, I think I counted 3423 times in the last burns fight when he mentioned his jaw starting with the phrase. " I don't want to keep banging on about it"

    Jim Watt really grates on me! Would like to see a new team, someone with knowledge like Ed Robinson alongside a recent ex boxer who's knows the game but is also likable someone like Darren Barker. That would be class

    quite like Jim Watt. bring back Ian Darke. He was by far the best. Wished Sky would include Duke McKenzie more, Alex Arthur also good. Not a fan of Paul Smith as a pundit really. Why pick someone who's best is a British title, when you can pick someone who has been at world level & can tell people what its like fighting away from home & fighting for & defending world titles? Would be great to see more of Paulie & Al Burnstein on Sky. Wopuld be great to see more of Hatton & Calzaghe as well.

    Main commentators usually never fought a day in their life. They should let fighters handle the whole broadcasts with someone who talks well as the front man.

    Nothing to add Jack McWavey? Right then it's agreed that Steve Bunce is a cowardly clueless moron. Job done.
