Jim lampley should be added to this! He is the most bias, horrible punch calling commentator of them all! I mean the guy will literally call imaginary punches landing that only he sees!
Jim Watt is possibly the biggest band wagon rider of all mo-fracking time. As soon as one of the fighters does anything vaguely impressive or unexpected good ol' Jimmy pronounces him as the coming of Muhammad Robinson Marciano the third and proceeds to dry hump the guy harder than a Chihuahua on speed. The man is just plain awful at commentating.

Watt is awful, but it's not really a direct comparison. Watt is usally part of a two man team whereas Jones is part of a three or 4 man team at HBO.
If Jones was asked to talk almost non stop negatively about the fighters, then he'd be Jim Watt.
But I don't really get Sky's system. Their team is too big, Nelson and McCrorry seem to be at every gig, yet the studio is still packed with other guests. It's like if Match of the day had on all of their pundits in the studio every week. I think they need to get someone else alongside Watt to keep his negativity in check or actually give him a role rather than just giving his opinions a free airing 24/7.
