    Who is the best color commentator/analyst?

    Color commentator/analyst differs of course from a blow-by-blow commentator like Jim Lampley and Steve Albert.

      Jim Watt, all day long.

      The early commentary he did with Reg Gutteridge is some of the very best commentating across ANY sport. He truly did have the master of masters to learn from.

      Since then he’s been about the most consistent of the whole bunch (UK and US). Of course some will disagree with me and I’m sure will point out a fight or two where he’s made a bad call.......but who hasn’t made a bad call ?! Christ, i make one about once a week lol

      No, for me it’s Jim.

      A fine champion, a fine commentator and a great MAN.

        Not familiar with the UK analysts hardly at all so I won't vote. As far as the US ones I like Kellerman, Farhood and Tarver

            Tarver is hands down the man.Breath of fresh air the 1st time he did it,he's a natural,my favorite right now.Then Kellerman,he keeps it real & doesn't hold back the truth.

              I like Jim Watt too, he's usually right on the mark with his analysis and he provides excellent insight.

              However, sometimes he can be overly negative when he comments about non-British fighters.

                  Lampley is a blow-by-blow commentator, not a color commentator/analyst.

                    Thank you for not including Emmanuel Steward in the poll...he is just terrible.

                    25 seconds into the first round: "This fighter right here is fighting the perfect fight, just like I expected him to"
