Check my sig for an example of The Duke in action, kids.
HBO:
Lampley - flag-waving HBO boy homer. (Note how Lampley even has to pronounce other countries in an accent... when he did a Katsidis fight he kept going "and Katsidis is from (puts on inexplicable Australian accent) Australia")
Kellerman - Boggle-eyed, ****e-spouting fanboy.
Merchant - The good guy. Rock solid, even if it takes him ten minutes to complete a sentence.
Lederman - A eunuch.
Lewis - Without the word "definitely" the guy has no commentary.
The Best:
He's getting old, but still Col. Bob Sheridan
ITV:
McKenzie and Rawlings are a pair of ****wits. Except.. I AM Duke McKenzie, so I'm the best, kid - I JUST WILL NOT BE DENIED!
The worst:
Atlas. Yeah, he talks sense. But REPEATEDLY. Incessantly. Shut the **** up.
The funniest:
Steve Holdsworth, Eurosport. The guy is totally INSANE. I was gonna link to him here, but my youtube vid of it has been rejected due to "copyright claim by TF1".Comment

One of my favourites was when he said "I wonder if there'll ever be a fight between a man and a woman? Mind you, I guess you can say there has been if you count Jane Couch."
His co-commentator (think this time it was Richie Woodhall) audibly cringed and tried to joke out of it: "Careful, Steve, she'll be after you."
"I'd knock her out right now" comes back Steve.Comment

I like HBO's team the best, but I really like Setanta's team even though I haven't heard much of them. Watching Pascal Froch, I didn't really care for ITV that much.
Also is Holdsworth the guy who said "TYPICAL ITALIAN REF. WHAT A LOAD" something like that. If so, then he is by far the funniest.Comment

And yes, that's Steve.Comment

I love it when he starts being racist and you can hear his co-commentators cringe.
