        Out of the three, I would enjoy Floyd the most. The problem is that while he is an active boxer, like Jones was, his "Money" persona would turn off a lot of people. Jones did exude a certain swagger before fights but none like Floyd does. It's going to be hard for casual viewers to separate Floyd's distinctive personalities in and out of the ring. I'd say that he'd be a great commentator only if he's already retired.

        Other than that, I can't see Roach doing it because he sounds like he's taking a **** most of the time, and Richardson, while very informative, seems uncomfortable around the camera.

          Actually, you know who would be good and is a Mayweather? Jeff. Jeff knows his ****, is intelligent, but still witty enough for TV. I would love to see Jeff get some love

            Honestly must have the Commentators have had some kind of speech barrier. Lennox Lewis with his thick accent, Roy Jones with his country voice, Merchant with his oldness and so on

              baracuda why do you hate floyd so much, every post you make is something negative about floyd...its cool if you are a pacquiao fanatic but give credit where its due and stop looking for bad things to say about floyd....you look pathetic and desperate to find a chance to take a jab at floyd.

                    I have never heard Mayweather commentate on a fight before, And i cant imagine him doing it without mentioning how much money he has or how great he is but i never imagine Roy jones being great at it either but i could imagine Mayweather sounding more like Lennox lewis rather than RJJ.

                    Roach is difficult to hear or understand due to his illness.

                    Richardson sounds good with a lot of insight also but i would have love to hear the other 'magic man' in Paulie Maglinaggi who like Tarver knows the in and out of the boxing game.
