    Has anybody ever employed a worse, less informed line-up of people calling themselves pundits than they have? The GAD, Simon Jordan and Spencer Oliver? A ponce who should be covering cricket, an ex-Palace owner who obviously doesn't follow the sport, and a guy in Spencer Oliver who is almost totally inarticulate.

    The worst one is Adam Catterall who I have never heard make sense and he sounds like something off one of them comedy sketches with Johnny Vegas or Peter Kay.

    It is terrible line up, for me GAD is the best of a bad bunch and someone I like.
    Spencer Oliver makes me laugh, he's a nice guy , but he'll give an opinion then when someone expresses their opinion as the complete opposite he'll do a complete U turn and be agreeing with them all within the space of 60 seconds.

    Speaks like a 16 year-old trying to impress a girl as well.

    Adam Catterall is the worst. Him and his equally insufferable mate Nick Peet think they're the moral compass of boxing yet took a wage off Probellum. They should stick to MMA as all they do is slate boxing and say how good MMA is.

    You certainly know boxing. Good memory there - I had forgotten all about that. I believe Probellum was some sort of promotion from our old friend Kinny Han, is that right?

    Don’t really like Caterall and I remember in the early days of Fight Disciples he seemed to have very limited knowledge of the sport. Like really low level. Now he seems to be someone whose opinion should be respected. Not for me. I remember him being heckled and almost bullied by lads in the crowd at the Bellew Makabu weigh in. Felt sorry for him.

    GAD is just a posh muppet seems quite harmless.

    Don’t mind Jordan, agree with most of his stuff on all different matters.

    I like that White and Jordan show and it’s good to have something on mainstream that regularly has boxing on.

    Yes, that’s them!

    On a serious note, Gareth Davies comes across as such a bell and agreed, a ponce.

    GAD definitely has nonce vibes.

    Talksport have had to do a complete u turn recently after the furys restricted their access so they’re now sucking up hard.

    Still does have very limited knowledge. All he does is rant about scorecards if they’re different to his.

    When Simon Jordan defended the John Fury Headbutt really irritated me. How can you defend a literal bully who just headbutts someone?

    Simon Jordan downplaying the John Fury headbutt as part of the sport and then 5mins later saying he would press charges if he done it to him sums it up really.
