    1 Jim Lampley - great command of the English language
    2 max Kellerman for his insight
    3 teddy atlas for his insight oversight hindsight all thee above
    4 George Foreman def enhanced ring iq
    5 rip to Manny steward, my uncle's favorite, also the expert on heavyweight boxing
    6 Sergio Mora smooth on the mic
    7 in this new era, Mauro renela seems alright, has good chemistry with the hall of fame al Bernstein
    8 speaking of hall of fame: the Colonel bob Sheridan
    9 rjj the best that Max's eyes ever saw did it
    10 Stephen a Smith, technically not a commentator but highly passionate and argumentative.

    Lampley, merchant and big George were the big 3 for me. Albert, Czeh, and Pacheco come pretty close.

    Sorry I guess there's no real need to play up weight unless big George or Dan Rafael are involved!

    Tim Ryan and Gil Clancy (of CBS in the 1980s) is the best duo.

    Glad every time I hear RJJ. I remember hearing AJ and Wilder as commentators, weren't half bad lol.

    Lennox comes off as a bit low IQ. Kellerman, Merchant and Atlas all annoying af and I feel like they never took their shirt off in gym class.

    The anonymous guys from my home country always seem to have a lot of insight and are passionate when either fighter lands.

    Not really a list - just rambling :nut:

    Those were good names but i have to go with the charge of Merchant, Lampley & Steward even if i didn't always agree with their sentiments & sometimes cruelty.

    A couple of great calls that I can always recall by a couple of guys who I'm pretty sure didn't call very many fights. Jim Rosenthal : Hearns v Duran ( absolute legendary call ) and Al Michaels : Hagler v Hearns.

    Clancy was a bit of a dolt
