    Best: Steward, Merchant and Roy Jones
    Worst: Atlas, one guy who sucks and has a boring voice but i don't remember his name, and Lennox Lewis cause he's too slow.

        Lennox Lewis is definitely the worst... Definitely.

        Teddy Atlas pisses me off too... Dude's thick as pig ****, but for some reason thinks otherwise

          There's a need for some new people to replace Teddy Atlas and Wally Matthews, who are turning away the casual boxing fans with their negativity towards some of the fighters.

          You never hear commentators being unfairly negative towards the athletes in MMA, basketball, football, golf, etc.

          Atlas and Matthews are not helping the popularity of boxing. We need fair and balanced commentary.

            Bernstein and Kellerman blow everyone away

            But Roy was the absolute best and smartest when he worked for HBO. He predicted everything that would happen right on cue

                    I didn't list any play by play guys, because they mostly just call the action (though I dislike Gus Johnson). My ranking is of color commentators and analysts from the big three networks: HBO, Showtime, and ESPN. Obviously you can get even worse on Fox Sports, Versus, and other channels.

                    The best:
                    1. Larry Merchant
                    2. Al Bernstein
                    3. Teddy Atlas

                    The worst:
                    1. Max Kellerman
                    2. Steve Farhood
                    3. Lennox Lewis
