'Legs have dipped, Reg'.

Loved Jim, Steve Holdsworth and Jim Rosenthal, who was also very underrated.

I used to like Holdworth’s chirpy cynicism on Eurosport.

Rosenthal was/is a great anchor.

[Ezzard]

Jim was the best co-commentator in the 1980s and early 90s. I think he read a fight better than most and usually saw the signs of momentum swings early.

Sky coverage is poor, their promotor is poor too.

[jameswilson]

He hated Carl Froch that's for sure. Never known a commentator spunk his pants like he did at the end of the first in the first Groves fight.

[TheLeprechaun]

The best for me was Steve Holdsworth - a masterclass in delivering the perfect fight commentary, probably far too honest to become a Sky bumlicker.

Long forgotten. Easily the best. Harry Carpenter, Reg Gutteridge, Steve Holdsworth. We were so lucky then. God bless them all.

Jim Neilly was the best for me.

Ian darke was actually who I meant.

Does he even commentate now?

Does Footie I’m sure.

It was great when Jim Rosenthal was on allegedly. Was still fab.

Jim Rosentahl anchored one of the recent Premier League games on Amazon. Even at 77 he was still absolutely top notch.

In the UK we put our top broadcasters out to pasture way too early, purely it seems to me so the TV companies can tick the diversity boxes by shoehorning in giggling inexperienced young women. Look at how a man like Dempsey with his deep knowledge of the sport has been sidelined on TNT to make way for a children’s tv style host.

It will be interesting when Queensbury go to Dazn what that will mean for the commentators. I'm assuming that will mean the Turki shows will not be on TNT PPV. It does seem a bit "pointless" having 3 sets of commentary teams out there.

I hope Barry Jones keeps his job, far and away the best pundit now.

I have a feeling, some of these pundits, will be employed by Riyadh Season, rather than the broadcasters.

Depends on who they are really. then whoever they are, will just work certain cards.

Yes and who knows, maybe Turki will still keep the ALL PPVs operators on board even if domestically it is hard to see how TNT will keep in boxing. After all, there has been very little boxxer influence in some of these cards but yet Sky Box Office are still showing the fights - just seems pointless but then its all pocket money for him.
