      Recently, I'm really digging Paulie. The entire HBO crew is way too ****ing biased and/or annoying to even be considered as being amongst the best. Al Bernstein is also very good at his job.

      Moving this to NSB, where it belongs.

        Tarver, Atlas, Malignaggi, Foreman (For comic relief) and Roy Jones, although I gotta admit Roy's been a bit inconsistent as of late.

        I'm gonna go with Tarver and Atlas as my top 2, Atlas because he's not afraid to voice his discontent for corruption and Tarver because he's a damn good analyst, he sees what's being applied.

            Unless a slick black guy is boxing, the best is easily kellerman

                Definitely Teddy Atlas, although he tends to ramble he is unbiased and he explains to the viewers what a fighter did right or wrong. Paulie is also good.

                  Paulie Malignaggi hands down.

                  He calls it like it is and doesn't talk too much unnecessary crap, his scorecards however.....that's another subject.

                    even though i enjoyed roy jones more as a commentator, there is no denying that manny had that "eye".

                    his premonitions and intuitions were normally accurate.
