    I agree, Tarver is excellent. He's a natural broadcaster.

    Im surprised at the responses as i thought i was on my own on this one, just shows how poor they really are.

    Agree about Watt,Watt must be the worst commentator of all time,he is akin to an old record player that you keep using because your too tight to by a CD player one that your keeping for sentimental value.

    What pisses me off most about Watt is the way he bemoans a point over and over and over your, its like alright Jim we get it stop repeating the same point again and again arrghh!!

    Oh and Darkey............Khan he took the shot,Khan! took the shot lol

    i see what you mean about the sky team/commentry,

    to the boxing purists it's very annoying,,,,me included.

    but...they feel they have to do this to try and make the sport more market-able to new fans of the sport?-it seems like this is what they are doing.

    at a time when boxing is having it's least t.v coverage- i think it's put-up or shut-up for us for the time being.

    They should bring Woodhall in. I don't mind having a slightly idiotic commentator who has a great voice for commentating like Darke, provided he has someone making insightful and calm additions alongside him. Woodhall would do that well.

    Then have as your pundits a range of people. Oliver is decent enough, Froch would definitely be pretty good everynow and again, Bunce is always good value and perhaps me.:deal

    Agree.

    I think Woodhall's voice is a little underwhelming and maybe he does not bring the same excitement but he is one of the few Boxing pundits that knows what he is talking about,he actually gives his fighters good instructions in the corner instead of being a cheerleader and sending them out with a pat on the back and a come on!

    Woodhall knows how to break down a fight because he understands the mechanics of Boxing, thats why he is a good cornerman a good trainer & commentator.

    Spencer Oliver is good to imo.

    Most of the Sky pundits are appalling, riding the home fighters dick all the time, sickening, really, they need a clear out.
