    For me its Boxnation's Paul Smith & Barry Jones.They're sometimes witty, honest, not as biased as the others.On a whole Boxnations the has the best commentators.
    John Poorlings Rawlings is a bit shyte tho.
    Buncey's fun as always!

    Sky Sport's are just a bunch of Ass'kissng cheerleaders!

    Dont like channel 5 either, hate when they only show action replays of the british boxer landing punchings & editing out the parts when they're taking some (james de gale last fight)...And hyping chris eubank jnr like he's a power puncher when's he's the opposite.

    BELEVE U ME! richie woodhall's alright.

    Carl Froch & Mathew Macklin are brilliant!
    so is Paulie Malinaggi when he works for 5live.

    As far as commentary goes, when Bernstein is over here, then Channel 5 is the clear winner in my opinion.

    I like Rawling, but Jones can grate a bit as he always seems to just agree with Rawling and doesn't add much input himself.

    I'm a fan of Watt's, but I really don't like Halling TBH.

    Halling is dreadful, so is Rawling IMO.

    Best pundit is Mcguigan.

    BoxNation are OK.

    Like Al Bernstein on Channel 5 when he comes over for the Fury fights.

    Ian Darke is also good.

    5live is usally pretty good, for Froch/Bute they had Darren Fletcher, Adam Booth and George Groves which worked pretty well. Al Bernstein is very good when he comes over. Rawling is horrendous these days.

    I know that Jim Watt gets a lot of criticism but I think that Ian Darke and Jim Watt are the best commentary partnership in British boxing.

    Love Jim Watt, but Mike Costello on radio 5 is incredible, bet in Britain. Heard a few fights with him Skelton Chagev, Froch Dirrell, Haye Ruiz.

    Not sky. Sky are by far the worst, the commentary is so blind and bias. :twisted: Watt is just a complete and utter tit who doesn't know sh*t about bahxing. He always seems to be watching a different fight to me.

    Boxnation call the fight how it is, same as Channel 5. :good

    Sky exist to promote and make fighters out to be special, so they will suck dick through commentary to brainwash the casuals.

    Who look like: :tired Urrrrrrrrrr Kell Brook Urrrrrrrrrr me like urrrrrrrrrrr. :dead

    I slightly favour boxnation, I actually think jones is quite good
    Some of his technical input is spot on. Though he does seem a little in awe of rawlings

    Sky, and it's not even close for me.

    Barry Jones is dire in my opinion.

    Sky is the best, Watt and Mcguigan can be annoying at times but overall Sky still has the best team.

    Richie Woodhall is the most boring and one dimensional ******* in commentary "Double up that jab", "out and out counterpuncher", "this suits him down to the boots", "he needs to pop the jab and sneak in the right hand", I bet he creams himself when the Klitschkos fight.

    Al Bernstein is just a Fury cheerleader, Fury could be on the canvas and Bernstein will be banging on about how his face really damaged his opponents fist. He even compared Fury - Chisora to Ali - Frazier

    The Sly elitetests are out in force I see!?! :good

    The "I spend upwards £200 a month for Tele and I F*CKING LOVE IT. I NEED MORE. And that isn't enough! I need to be able to rewatch programs from the 70's and 80's on demand, and I need 3D, and I need HD, take all my money Murdoch, I don't care if I have to pay separate for TV license, I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Murdoch and I read the Sun every day" people.

    Or the one's that just work for Sly secretly and are here to gather demographic information.

    Take my money Murdoch!!!! :tired :tired :tired

    No wonder digital TV subscription prices are extortionate and outrageous. The jobs already done for them with the amount of zombies who'll pay through the nose for it.

    F*ck Sly! And f*ck all the zombies that loath it! :arran

    Watt and McKenzie make there own mind up about fights - limited knowledge guys like Paul Smith and Barry Jones just feed off of what Ralling is saying
