    Speaking of commentators, anyone see the Muhammad Ali-Chuck Wepner fight? Comedian Redd Foxx actually served as a commentator.

      Being articulate counts a lot more. Lennox may know more than all three combined, but you wouldnt know listening to him.

      Lennox for example probably wouldnt have been able to point out the fact that Manny was switching up his lead punches against Oscar like Lampley did. Even though he probably would have thought of it.

        That's why i rate Duke McKenzie and Richie Woodhall as the best commentators in the business.

          Quite disapointing really, as you prefer commentators to have fought, so they can give you more precise accurate professional commentating, and know whats it like to be inside the ring.

          anybody else feel the same sentiments?

          Totally worthless lot. I can't stand listening to them prattle on, especially little bug-eyed Maxie.
