    Who is the most hated commentator iyo?

    How many fights has your least favorite commentator ruined?
    Ok I generally have a high patience for most blow by blow commentary as I don't mind Timmy or Ted atlas, matter of fact bring him back!

    Cyz is solid, so is Bernstein.

    And max is ok, he sees things that most fighters can only see lol.

    The three showtime trio of mauro ranello , Bernstein , and Abner mares are fine. Abner is great when he opens up a bit . Al is the consummate professional. I have no problem with Mau.

    Heck TESSITORE is flipping brutal. I can't stand him. He looks like Kenny Florian from MMA and has a fake salesman voice. I'm watching a fight right now he's calling with Jon skully and quite frankly the iceman is carrying him. I can't stand his annoying obnoxiousness. Matter of fact bring on more "mama mia " and "el Fuego" as long as TESSITORE is not there.

    I have no probs with Timmy, and Sergio mora is excellent. Don't have a problem with kriegle but there is another guy I can't stand: Ariel Heylani, he's a MMA commentator and he should stick to that.

    The three Stooges were awesome: 1) George, lamps, merchant or 2) steward Jones and max. All 6 of those guys were perfect.

    Tim Bradley. He’s a shill for anything espn or Top Rank. Guy has no integrity. He’ll even say fighters are winning fights when he knows damn well they’re losing.

                Chris Mannix is the worst boxing commentator I've ever heard.

                He also doubles as a horrible basketball opinion piece writer.

                  Good: Al Bernstein, Paulie, Algieri, Mora

                  Insufferable: Tim Bradley, Chris Mannix, Barry Jones, Abner Mares, Mauro Ranallo (generally tolerable but was really annoying to the point of distraction during the Tank fight)

                  I have far less patience for bad commentary than I used to, to the point where I'll often turn the volume down low or on occasion just mute it altogether. If there was an option to just hear the crowd noise and punches I'd pick that every time. I do miss the old HBO crew though. Emmanuel Steward was great, Foreman was terrible but hilarious and Lewis was just flat out terrible. Roy was good but could be a bit of an annoying know-it-all at times.

                    I can stomach most, even Joe Tessitore when he's screaming really loudly (it's funny), but Timothy Bradley just irritates me. He's an airwave hog on top of being smug AND scattershot.

                    That, and these gems:

                    "Tess, in boxing, Tess, you have certain styles, Tess, and Tess, have you ever thought about changing your name, Tess?"

                    Go away.
