Jones, Malignaggi and Bernstein.
I feel like this would be the most accurate approach to what we see in the ring. Having 2 fighters sit and observe, give you info based off experience. Jones is always on point and Malignaggi these days has been really knocking my socks off with how legitimate and solid his info/feedback is. I don't really like his scoring but he atleast has decent reasoning behind it and I can't fault him for that.
Lampley is fun to listen to but he's a casual fan's color commentator. I get into it with Lampley, he has the conviction, passion and urgency in his voice. Comes up with some interesting analogies and overall sounds it's spot on of what you may think a commentator should sound like. Sometimes I think he displays bias and over looks some of the real stuff that happens in the ring, thats when Jones, Foreman or Lewis come in and give it some unf.
Kellerman is becoming a puppet, he started off really great in 08/09. It sounded genuine and he loved the sport for what it was. Now in 12/13 he's coming off asskissy. Broner doesn't put on these marvelous and magnificent performences, so much that you forget all about the other guy or disparage him. You don't make the fighter out to be way better than he is if what he does is so limited. It's one thing to play favorites or pick sides, it's another to flat out suck his ****. He used to be objective, now it seems like hes picking and choosing who to big up. Not to hate or take away from Broner, he's just the easiest example for this case.
Merchant tries too hard to be Shakespeare. He might as well start dress Elizabethan with ruffle shirts and ****** big hats that have a collage of long feathers sticking out. Some stuff he used to say back in mid 90s were cool, he faded hard as it goes into 2000s and from time to time he would say some deep, old man quotes precisely describing or capturing what happened. Though, for the most part, he really fell off. So then he sounds like a poet trying to talk about boxing, on top of it hes extremely opinionated. Which is fine sometimes but it clouds his judgement and it makes him look vindictive.
The showtime crew is starting to grow on me but it's here and there still. Brian Kenny tries to be genuine, he really seems like a true fan and doesn't let it get to him emotionally or ****** into the entertainment. Then again, I'd rather hear more from him to give a final opinion.
The other guy besides Bernstein is fairly accurate about whats going in in the ring too, he's not biased but he...doesn't...sound as knowledgeable? He knows the punches but doesn't get the motive behind?..Sorta?
I wish Tyson commentated man...Seriously, him boxing and him talking boxing is night and day. He's a great boxer, hes an even greater observer. Not to mention he articulates so well.Last edited by RightStraight; 05-03-2013, 09:07 PM.Comment

can't believe so many people are saying roy... he is bias as hell.
2 specific incidents that come to mind:
"see provodnikov is not hurting bradley, but oh man is provodnikov hurt, its bradley doign the one hurting him..." meantime bradley is concussed and admits hes hurt, and prvodnikov was cut up but not hurt
"paul williams needs to be retire its unhealthy all these shots hes taking... its worse than being knocked out cold" a few weeks after roy himself was knocked out brutally and continuing to fightComment
