    Tarver, I think.

    I don't like Merchant and Lampley.

          Someone who assists the play-by-play announcer.

            Well the best color commentator then would be Merchant and Kellerman. Steward and Atlas are the best analysts no doubt.

                I like Foreman the best even though I dont always agree with him.

                I love it when all 3 American commentators are openly rooting AGAINST Lennox , then LL does something so amazing that they cant help but go crazy..

                Foreman: Lennox is still shook from what happened in Africa
                Lennox: *Pop* *Pop*
                Foreman: OOOoooooo!!!
                Lampley: Boom!

                  Tarver, Merchant or Berstein.

                  The rest get into ridiculous hugger modes or are just ****e (ATLAS).
