The only problem with McGuigan is that he has a tendency to repeat the same line over and over and over again to the point where it grates on your ears. Reg was the best by a country mile. Duke knows his stuff but he's a bit bland and Watt is just crap.
He was absolutely superb, until an F word comment got him the sack.. Real shame cos the guy called it as it is, as well as adding some much needed humour, which is sadly lacking from the whining negativity of Jim Watt..
Poor old McGuigan isn't too bad, and shows remarkable enthusiasm for someone who would never have considered the job had he not been left totally destitute by the irrepressable Barney Eastwood..
Of those departed, both Reg Gutteridge and Eamon Andrews knew their stuff, Andrews infact, was a very useful fighter in his day..
Harry Carpenter, you can tell, isn't really a massive boxing fan.. I'd say he's more at home commentating the Golf, but God bless him, would always root for the British fighter, especially Our Enry & Bruno.. Jim Rosenthal is the modern day equivilent..
Would have just loved to have seen David Coleman as a boxing commentator!
Of todays lot, Steve Holdsworth wins it hands down.. Just a crying shame that he's on Euro trash.. He should team up with Mason & they'd make a killing!
Bunce has too many opinions, some of them, bordering on the ridiculous.. McCrory's OK, but still there as a joker in the pack, but I quite like Ian Darke, especially during after fight interviews where, much like Larry Merchant, he dares to be bold, in asking the questions that we all want to know the answers to..
i do not care who is calling the fight,i have no need to listen to americans,canadians or british commentators,i want to watch a fight with the volume down,
