    Who are the three best and three worst boxing commentators/analysts?

    What three boxing commentators do you consider to be the best ones? Who are the worst?

    I think our sport would be better off if some of the crappy ones were replaced by new people. Do you agree?

    I like Steward, Merchant, and RJ when he was on.

    Lampley is pretty good, but he nuthugs too much. Same wit Kellerman. And LL is hilarious, but that's cuz he's awful.

        It's tough listing the three best - quality broadcasting is really at an all-time low these days. Bernardo Osuna was far and away the best while Telefutura was still in the Solo Boxeo business, but the announcers on the TV Azteca version (Adrian Marquez and Raul Marquez) absolutely suck. They might as well open the broadcast with "Hola, Senor Bob Arum es nuestro Jefe."

        The worst:
        Lennox Lewis
        Teddy Atlas
        Adrian and Raul Marquez

        The best:
        Jessi Losado
        Bob Papa (though he's possibly leveled off)
        Barry Tompkins

          I'll always love the A team of Lampley, Merchant, and Steward.

          Roy was awesome when he used to be on. "Oooooooooooooh bodyshot"

                  My favorite is Al Bernstein, then comes Nick Charles and Jim Lampley. As for worst, I'm not sure. I haven't really heard any commentators that were that bad.
