    Watt was the lightweight champ and went the distance with Arguello so he deserves respect for that. But his commentary in the Froch-Groves fight was appalling.

      Ive heard much worse and to be fair was he supposed to praise Froch for stuff he didnt do in the fight. Froch looked like garbage that night and Groves looked great and most of the people who watched that fight agree.

      Sure he sounds like a miserable f**k most of the time but he cant help it..... he's Scotish lol

        Don't forget Roach spent years under the tutelage of Eddie Futch, arguably the greatest trainer of all time.

          Who do you agree with more as both are considered top pundits.
          If Kovalev is that "clumsy and cumbersome" why don't they crowd to fight him and make him look awful?

            There's a video analysis: "Sergey Kovalev confirms Floyd Mayweather Sr's Theory that Speed Ain't Nuthin but Timing vs Sillakh" (by Barry Robinson)...

            It somehow explains Kovalev's "clumsiness"...

              He didn't give Froch credit for anything. Every round he said things were happening that were not happening. He gave every freaking round to Groves no matter what. He was horrible.

                If Jim Watt is ever considered a top pundit I will have lost all faith in humanity.

                  Not taking anything away from Roach, hes has a great career as a trainer. I was simply pointing out that Watt aint some dude thats never been in a ring before. He knows what hes talking about.

                  I dont agree with him all the time but i thought the reason he praised Groves so much that night was because......erm....well it was praise worthy.

                    What should Froch of got credit for? Watt saw the fight how most people did. Groves was putting on a masterclass against a guy who was a heavy favourite. I only had Froch winning 2 rounds up until the stoppage. Hard to praise someone who isnt doing anything praise worthy.
