    Which boxers do u think would be good at commentating? U could also include trainers, not just boxers

    I just hope after Holyfield retires he doesn't touch a microphone/headset.

    I think Malignaggi would make an interesting commentator.....its not that he is likable or anything, but he knows his **** and is never at a loss for words. He would drive everyone nuts.

    Arreola, he has zero class, and is just plain crude.

    i love the man as a fighter and think he is great for boxing and seems like a very decent guy...but paul williams would be a nightmare as a commentator

    RJJ should retire and return to commentating, i liked him

    I reckon Jermain Taylor would be ok at the job, he speaks fairly well and is a good student of the game... knows alot of the 70s and 80s fights

    Sugar Shane might be ok, however im not sure he is flamboyant enough and might be shaddowed by guys like Kellerman

    If they were looking for a funny guy i think Hatton or Katsidis would be a good choice, both are light hearted sluggers who enjoy a joke

    Paul Briggs does a great job in Australia, and i reckon if his english ever improved i think they would try for Darchinyan as well

    I know this might not fit into the thread but I'm glad big George Foreman stopped commentating...IMO he was to bias for my liking!:-(

    Agree, and this is coming from a Mayorga fan.

    Paul Williams is better seen than heard (while Antonio Tarver, surprisingly good at ringside, is the exact opposite).

    Disagree. I can't stand Malignaggi's voice although, yes he does seem quite knowledgable.

    Hopkins would be good.

    Floyd Mayweather and Carl Froch, both would need to be put on mute.
