To be honest, I think Ward is a natural. I enjoy Paulie on commentary as well, so I would have both of them with a more media savy guy. Bernstein would be ideal. Adam Smith is good for drama.

They need an energy/history/story guy (ranallo or lampley-like), an experience/knowledge guy(like a Roy Jones/Paulie Malignaggi), and a knowledgable/observant dude with a mix of things (like a Kellarman).
They all have to mesh well too.
I really cant think of 3 that would fit. But for the second role, I would definitely look at Antonio Tarver. His performances are always very professional, insightful, and fun. He always mixes well with his colleagues too.Last edited by WombBat; 05-17-2018, 06:14 AM.Comment

I don't think that gig with Schaub is going to last that long.Lol, but you could be right. I've been amazed at the boxing gigs Schaub has gotten cuz ik he don't know sh^t about boxing. Up til recently he's been a casual fan.
Think Espinoza digs Schaub too much for him to get cut loose for this gig doe, but a Schuab type guy wouldn't surprise me at all. Then again idk if I can fathom Hearn hiring such a guy necessarily so who knows.
The 'show' on YouTube is pretty bad. He has a speech impediment, exaggerates EVERYTHING, isn't that smart and isn't really a natural on camera....he also doesn't know much about Boxing. He knows the big hitters like Canelo, Khan, GGG, Loma, Wilder, AJ, Fury but other than that he is clueless you ask him about Rungvisai, Frampton, Andrade, Callum Smith, Usyk etc and he is CLUELESS.
He is lucky his podcast with Bryan Callen blew up when no one was really doing video podcasts on YouTube, especially in MMA. Hearn definitely wouldn't hire him anyway.
I'd like an Andre Ward on there, well-spoken, articiculate....
Al Bernstein would also be good but isn't he locked up by Showtime?
Paulie obviously would be phenomenal but same situation with Showtime? I know he does Sky Sports gigs but that's in the UK and not with a rival in the States.Comment

He's got personality. I enjoy him even with his limited knowledge about boxing. I'd be curious what more of the non-boxing fans think of him.I don't think that gig with Schaub is going to last that long.

Yea. I mean Idk the details, but I can't believe Showtime wouldn't have him locked up.Al Bernstein would also be good but isn't he locked up by Showtime?
Paulie seems secondary enough that he might be able sneak away here & there like he does with Sky now, but thats a lot of shows so I'd bet against it.Paulie obviously would be phenomenal but same situation with Showtime?
