Do you like boxers on commentary?

[Marcov]

I like most of them offering insight. Most commentators have never been in the ring and though they are trained well to be behind the mic, lack the insight that ex-pro boxers have. Just don't let have the mic too long.

Germany - we sometimes have Henry Maske, Darius "Tiger" Michalczewski, and others. While Maske does a good job (insightful commentaries), few other fighters have the trained voices. Slurred speech, or slow commentaries, or something the reporter already said.

More often than not its a pain to listen to them.

They aren't as good analyzing and verbally expressing it, as they are applying it.

Why does HBO stick with getting the best boxers inside the ring, instead of the ones who express themself the best outside of it?

Lennox has done 100-200 more shows than Antonio Tarver and Milk Dud of Malice puts him to shame.

[Glamour Puss]

I really liked George and Roy.

They had personality and enthusiasm on top of perspective.

Lewis is garbage.

Tarver is growing on me too.

I cant stand Lennox, only seen a couple of fights that he doing, but still.
The one i like the most gotta be Roy Jones, even though he does sound like a hillbillie sometimes but i can definately live with that

Why did people not like Foreman? I love an elite fighter serving as a commentator. It really doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can speak clearly. Even Lennox and Bernard, the two that seem to be hated the most, both make interesting points that only a fighter of championship status would be able to point out. I especially liked Foreman and Roy Jones, and I also think Tarver is doing a good job right now.

Maske is really good. So is Tarver.

Historically Missdeecole mentions Hagler. What about Ali? You gotta love the Foreman-Norton fight. Ali picked Norton to at least give Foreman problems. Of course Norton got blown out and Ali was disgusted with Norton: "That won't happen to me! I'm a proFESSional!" Ali's antics gave me a great lol. He was so funny.

HAHA, What a coincidence! i just started watching Bowe-Holyfield I for the first time. (yes i know, its bad) but anyways, guess who was commenting? George Foreman which i just was thinking that i wanted to hear :O

[shadeyfizzle]

Am I the only one who likes Lennox Lewis as a commentator better than Antonio Tarver????

[bojangles1987]

Don't pay enough attention to the commentators to have much an opinion. I've trained myself to just tune them out and watch the fight.
