I cringe at espn, dazn, and showtime commentators now. These three were the best of the best. No teams beats them. It's never been the same since hbo died.
With HBO out of the picture, I actually prefer The Sky Sports crew. AJ/Ruiz 1 and AJ/Klitschko are fantastic. I'm in the states so rarely do I get to hear them but love their enthusiasm
I don’t. Before all the politics they were good . But when things changed they would call a fight in favor of whomever hbo wanted to win more and it just sucked.
I liked the old school guys who were neutral and called the action without any bias toward one fighter.
Surely failing to include Steward, the very best colour commentator of our generation is borderline blasphemy? Nobody ever captured a fights spirit the way he did, i miss his insight so much in fights.
Lampleys soul left his body when Roy said "hes not getting up Jim!" And then Floyd buried him for good by beating Pac in fact floyd pretty much retired them all lol leaving HBO and beating their cash cow
Showtime isn’t bad Al Bernstein and the wwe guy are cool Paulie is a dumbass but he likes to talk so he fits the problem is all their fighters went to cable tv for pbc and we rarely see a show card but yeah ESPN and dazn trash

I think the Showtime guys come closest to the HBO boys
At least for boxing purposes
Malignaggi is pretty insightful just like Jones
For a boxing perspective
Present day Boxing fans don't know who Roy Jones Jr. is/was. They may know of Floyd (but never actually seen him box when he was active/prime). You are out of touch with present day Boxing if you want anything other than Logan Paul, or some other YouTube celebrity on the mic.
