When HBO or Showtime gets an ex fighter or a current champ or even a formidable trainer behind the mike, who seems to have the knowledge and know how to precisely tell the fans what is going on. Would it be the regular commentators or the guest commentators who spent their time and their lives in the ring............Rockin' :boxing:

when Roy Jones or Emmanuel Steward gets a guest commentaors gig with one of the cable companies, who is it that seems to have the insight into what is going on in the fight. The regular commentators or the guest commentators? Like Roy or Emmanuel.............Rockin'

Of course Roy or Emmanuel would know the insights better. But they don't know how it looks for someone who hasn't spent his life on this sport. That's were the regular commentators come in. They know a lil about boxing and about the people that are watching it. Most people don't care if Roy gave insight information if there wasn't some entertainment and some connection to the mainstream folks provided by the regular commentators.

So basicaly what you are saying Dude, is that Emmanuel and Roy will have the deeper insight but may not know how to articulate it for the general public to understand?.........Rockin' :boxing:

Well they might know how to make people understand but not how to gain their attention and keep them entertained while doing so, yap.
