    Which commentator has the best PRESENTATION, even if they suck at everything else.

    We all love or hate commentary guys based on the opinions they have. But, who do you think is the slickest presenter?
    For example;
    -Lampley has a fluid manner of speaking and can really stir your emotions by creating a sense of cinematic drama, however his company bias is evident and he makes a lot of wrong calls.
    -RJJ would be the opposite because he doesn't sound good on the mic, but his insights are brilliant.

    Who is the #1 slickest/most charismatic presenter??

      I like Tarver and Malignaggi. Both witty and well-spoken guys who are great at describing what's going on in the ring.

      But if we're going strictly charismatic...I dunno how you top Jim "****. ****." Lampley. Cheetah print glasses too.

        I get why they have him on, a lot of people probably like him, but I can't stand him he says the dumbest sh it.

        I wish I can some examples offhand, but he is ridiculous.

          He's ridiculous, but I gotta respect that the guy has paid his dues. I remember watching him commentate Japanese MMA in the early 2000's and I think they just brought him in because he had a degree in broadcasting and sounded pro.

          Even though he says corny lines and doesn't really have an eye for the science, I think AK is right because Mauro gives a good presentation and you can tell he puts a lot of hours into his research and prep. That's the kind of guy the networks want to hire, which is probably why he's had so many gigs.

            Tarver was the perfect mix of being good on the mic as well as knowing what the fuck he was talking about and having the credibility to make certain calls.

            Roy is decent the mic and I like how he goes out of the way to check Lampley and Max when they're swinging from one fighters nuts all night, like he did continuously with pointing out all the success Alvarez was having last Saturday before the KO. Huge improvement over Lennox Lewis, who never even bothered to learn guys names and always seemed unprepared.

            Malignaggi is waaayyyyyyyyyy too biased and constantly is trying to push his narrative when calling fights.

            I've actually really liked Sergio Mora the few times I've heard him call fights.

                  Agreed, I would never ask for him to taken off or anything, he just annoys me personally. He gets respect for really dedicating himself to it, he's just too corny for my taste.
