    Bernstein off that list, also I like Atlas a lot. But for me Ian Darke from England is the main man. Nobody calls a fight like him.

    So far looks like the most unpopular is Max Kellerman. He makes my flesh creep. Does too much talking, steals the show and whatnot. Teddy Atlas for me. Actually backs up what he says and comes across as very genuine.

    Kellerman is a complete joke. Anybody who makes statements such as....

    "Roy Jones would beat Joe Frazier"

    "Zab Judah is just like Sweet Pea but with power"

    "I see a lot of SRR in Linares"

    .....is a complete ****ing moron. That idiot doesn't belong anywhere near a microphone unless it is to spit his shitty rap.

    Larry Merchant, old time, old school journalist. Drunk, witty, observant, knows what he's talking about.

    This is very difficult for me to pick..

    I love Steward for for his boxing knowledge; I will say something to my friends while the fight is happening; then Steward will say it on TV just a few seconds later.

    I really like when George Foreman would do it; that guy had me dieing one day "No, don't say it!", hahaha.. plus I really think him and Jones Jr are really good at helping you put yourself into the fighters perspective... something the other commentators just can't do.

    I like Max Kellermen is alright; I think he is probably the least biased of the normal crew. I enjoy him probably the best when Steward has a fight and they have no color commentator who is any good.

    I hate Jim Lampley...

    I think both Atlas and Steward are very knowledgeable about the sport. Stewards in-fight analysis is second to none, but Teddy Atlas' knowledge seems to expand further than Stewards. He'll talk about the business of the sport, about promoters, about why certain fights are not happening. Steward seems to stick to what happens in the ring, whereas with Atlas he'll discuss anything that effects boxing. He talks so much sense too!

    Al Bernstein is in a league of his own. Knowledgable without being arrogant, respectful without being biased, and honest with the audience. He never wants to be bigger than the fight or the fighters and is a Hall of Famer.

    I love Teddy's passion for the sport and his drive to fix the problems he sees. He is my #2.
