Who is worse at commentating? Jim Watt or Roy Jones?

I've posted on this site that I don't like the way Roy Jones speaks...but he is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Jim Watt, whom I assume is speaking Slovakian, and not English.

Jim Watt is the only announcer that makes me wish for Mauro Ranallo. Plus I'll never forgive and his savage, blue tattooed Pictish followers for their treatment of Sean O'Grady and his family when they fought.

I grew up listening to Jim Watt commentating on some of the big fights with the much-loved Reg Gutteridge; when they were on ITV and went all over the place and gave us some great nights. So I do have a soft spot for the guy and he's a decent former world champ as well.

But the key thing was that Gutteridge was very much the boss and he used to run those shows and Watt's job was to analyse technique, style and offer his opinions at the end of a round. That allowed him to focus his thoughts and on some very specific areas.

Gutteridge was old-school but he was a proper commentator and skilled boxing journalist and he kept Jim on-hand to do the technical stuff and not try and call the fight as it happened.

Sky allows Jim to jump him all-over the place and that's a mistake because he gets carried away and tends to try and call a fight blw-by-blow. Let the commentator call the action, then let the expert gather his thoughts and review the round.

i actually like roy commentating only when theres no black fighter's involved. when there is roy seem to always ride with the brotha first (dont blame him). but besides that roy does a good job commentating because roy actually knows what the fighter is thinking because he's been in those situation.
