Dream Pundit Team

[robpalmer135]

After all the stick that Bunce and Watt get, what would be the best pundit team.

Let says that it has to include;
1. Play by Play Commentator
2. Co Commentator (Ex Pro)
3. Ring Side Interviewer


and then in the Studio;

1. Ex Pro
2. Current Pro
3. Journo
4. Presenter

Rignside;
1. Ian Darke
2. Richie Woodhall
3. Max Kellerman


and then in the Studio;

1. Johnny Nelson
2. David Haye
3. Claude Abrahms
4. Jim Lampley

Steve Bunce doing all those listed jobs.

[SleazeNation]

HBO a couple of years ago. Larry, Jim and George. You can't beat that ever.

British commentators are really weak. Bunce and Watt are ok, that's it.

[dwilson]

Who was that colonal guy who did Haye vs Mormeck? He was great.

[robpalmer135]

Colonal???

[Tony Harrison]

Duke would surely be involved.

I'd like to hear Mike Tyson commentating.

I like Jonny Nelson as a pundit. He calls fights well and is very articulate.

[Beeston Brawler]

I don't know too much about American commentators, but the British ones would be as follows:

Ian Darke - Commentator
Jim Watt - Co-commentator
Jim Rosenthal - Interviewer

The pundits would be Glenn McCrory, Nicky Piper/Barry McGuigan and Johnny Nelson

Each have their own faults - Nelson hugs any fighter from Sheffield, and sometimes dishes out bizarre cards (Williams 116-112 Quintana being a case in point), Nicky Piper is too negative, whilst McCrory can get overexcited. Commentary wise, Ian Darke is better than John Rawling, as he has a clearer tone, and better calmness, whilst Jim Watt sees the fight and calls it superbly (irritating though he can be at times), whilst Jim Rosenthal is a great interviewer - Adam Smith from Sky is also good, but can hug certain fighters, whilst hating on others (Ricky Hatton springs to mind, as does Junior Witter, for obvious reasons!)

Stateside, I think Kellerman is less afraid to ask difficult questions, and is much more articulate than Larry Marchant, who could talk a glass eye to sleep. I don't know anything about their commentators, other than the fact that Lederman is often controversial.

Colonel Bob, I hate the fucker!! He never shuts up, even when nothing is happening.

[robpalmer135]

Yeh he was pretty awsome actually

[Steve Fox]

Colonel Bob, I hate the fucker!! He never shuts up, even when nothing is happening.I'll never forget him describing Lewis as 'one of these big lumbering guys, who walks in looking for a big right'. That bloke hasn't got a clue.

Yep but he is hilarious and has a great voice.

[GazOC]

Who was commenting for the Pac fight at the weekend? He came out with a gem...."The best 12th round ever seen in the second half of a fight":lol:

[rendog67]

[Steve Fox]

[TFFP]

Ian Darke
Jim Watt
Max Kellerman

For post fight interviews Gary Newbon used to take some beating. Talk obout awkward questions, the bloke didn't give a monkies!!

[brown bomber]

Gary Newbon was a cock... His post fight interview after Benn-McLellon was a disgrace. He's a cock.

[robpalmer135]

what did he do that was so bad?

[GazOC]

Gary Newbon was a cock... His post fight interview after Benn-McLellon was a disgrace. He's a cock.

If you judge on Benn-McClennan then Jim Watt is a cock. Hindsight is a fine thing in those situations....

[brown bomber]

If you judge on Benn-McClennan then Jim Watt is a cock. Hindsight is a fine thing in those situations.... Well Watt is a bit anal sometimes but what did he say? Newbons post fight interview was too aggresive he kept calling a prone McLellon MCallum he was just an asshole.

[GazOC]

Well Watt is a bit anal sometimes but what did he say? Newbons post fight interview was too aggresive he kept calling a prone McLellon MCallum he was just an asshole.

Newbon was just carried away with the atmosphere. Watt was calling McClellan a quiter, no heart etc...he must looks back at that cringe.

[maka]

stuff them all..........we should all be watchin with the sound off and make our own judgements of the fights, thats what i do :smoke

I do that if I rewatch a fight to score it, but otherwise I like the atmosphere too much.

[Championship]

I think Mike Costello from BBC Radio 5 Live could do a good job on TV, with George Foreman as the number 2 and Larry Merchant. Johnathan Pearce would be good as a boxing commentator too I think. Ian Darke's good, but Lampley sounds a bit too geekish.

[Nalian]

Honestly, what the hell.


Al Bernstien from SHowtime is easily the best, most unbiased commentator ive listened to.

I'd have him and grady.
