Best Commentator in Boxing?

[Mike D]

I've been wondering for a while how Floyd would do as a commentator. He has one of the highest Ring IQs in the sport, so I would think he'd do well.

Floyd would be a horrible commentator. I'm not just hating on him, but just listen to him speak. He has like 6 or 7 cliches that he repeats over and over and over, and when he has to go outside of those go to cliches he sounds like a ******. There have been an infinite number of guys who were brilliant at their respective sports but once retired and in the booth -- they couldn't even string two consecutive sentences together.

Malignaggi is the best commentator.

Lampley and Jones good.

Al Bernstein.

"he should really try to use the right hand more"

I like Paulie, Lampley, Merchant and Roy Jones.

Well that's him as a fighter.

He obviously has gotten an idea that the media will always try to steer him towards something with manny pacquiao, so I think he's taking a deliberate step to just avoid that question by repeating some bs over and over again.

Roy Jones JR.

Bhop and Ward when they do it but Roy is the OG of commentating and the most entertaining

Ward is the worst commentator. He's up there with Lennox Lewis.

For me it's: Paulie, Roy Jones, Bernstein, Kellerman, Lampley, Ward, and then the UFC guy (in that order)

So yea, Paulie

Well if you wanna bring all sports i wanna make a case for Michael Cole because pro wrestling is REAL

[MikeRo1972]

For my money it's Paulie, Kellerman, Bernstein, Lampley and Brian Kenny.
The worst are Gus Johnson, Teddy Atlas and Mauro Ranallo. Ranallo is GOD AWFUL.

Ward is the worst commentator. He's up there with Lennox Lewis.

Yeh his commentary skills definitely dont reflect the wealth of knowledge he accumulated from all those tough fites hes been in. Very disappointing.

Lewis is horrible too. "oh paul magginaggi...malayyynag...malanagey looks spectacular" Could never pronounce Malignaggi's name for ever.
