Has he done this before?

Think he'll be any good?

he's articulate, quick-witted and has a well-rounded knowledge of the fight game, plus he's a confident and polished performer in front of a camera, this seems like a natural fit to me.

Boxers rarely provide the "eloquent" presentation that other commentators do, but they do offer alot more tactical and insight into whats going on from a Boxing point of view. Which is what the fan's want.

Love it when a Boxer bluntly puts someone like Lampley or Merchant in their place for their ignorance/fanboy-ism.

As long as Khan is himself, he'll give the viewers what they want.

However no matter how hard he tries, i doubt he will be as bad as Lennox "Definitely" Lewis.

No........................not at all !!

He will stick on the fence and give safe answers to questions.

Maybe if he put on a blond wig and delivered in an american accent " Manny.............did............you..........see........this"

Prizes for guessing the guy

Such as
George Foreman
Lennox Lewis
and
Roy Jones Jnr.

and when I watched a Showtime fight on Youtube I have been very impressed with Antonio Tarver and Andre Ward who was ringside for Carl Froch-Glencoffe Johnson fight. As for Amir Khan he has done the "Special comments" section on Skys bills and I have been impressed when he was been interviewed and done commentary.

No. He can barely string a sentence together when he's talking about himself, I can only cringe in anticipation of how bad he is going to be talking about something as fast moving as boxing.

I anticipate there will be more reptitions in his commetary than a year's worth of episodes of Radio 4's highly successful game show 'Just a minute.'

One for the highbrow amongst ye.

Fun to watch in the ring but painful to listen to. He's inarticulate with a minuscule vocabulary and only seems to speak in time honoured sporting cliched. There might well be a drinking game in how many times he says "dats boxing for you" and "you can't get in a shower without getting wet".

Antonio Tarver the most impressive retired boxer I've heard in the commentary booth for a fair few years.
