i can't believe no one's mentioned worlds strongest man yet. He seems to put more effort into presenting that, and its not even a sport!

Yeah Gary Richardson is annoying. When Audley fought Ellis and that fight started out he was going; "It was your fault, wasn't it?" and when Audley said no he was like; "It was a bit though, wasn't it?"

Or when he was having a go at Howard Eastman about how crap his opponent was; "Well he wasn't very good was he?" and Eastman goes; "I'd never say that about an opponent." and Richardson goes; "To be fair though, he was, wasn't he?"

Keep Steve Bunce, he rules man!!!!!!!!!

Johnny Nelson would be a great commentators analysist i think or maybe Derek Williams

"Yeah i fink, i fink, Lennox Lewis, yeah i...err...don't fink"

Roland in for Inverdale from now on people

I actually fink Derrick is improving, it was funny him talking about Navarro on the PPV - but he's definately getting better.

What about Julius, not been a fan of his commetating before, but he'd do a job for the BBC. The BBC also had Glenn Cateley doing the co-commentator bit at one time, I thought he was better than Duke "The greatest upset in the history of boxing" McKenzie.

Yes. Tell him you like rugby and you'll probably get his autograph too.

Just after it's been taken, ask him what Jersey Joe Walcott's real name is. If he doesn't know that, he doesn't know boxing.

Mackintosh or whatever his name is, seemed enthusiastic about boxing..........bring him back. Inverdale and his jeans can go back to rugger

Keep Rawling on full time and bring in a different boxer to sit beside him.

Woodhall I'm not a fan of........Kilburn is right 'keep it long' is probably mentioned more than 'kid'

Where was Mr Inverdale last night? Think he's been reading this page?

I like Ronald McIntosh - more down to earth and likeable than rugby man.

One thing though, if Carl Froch is 6 ft, Richie Woodhall is 6 ft 1 1/2 how tall is Ronald? 7ft 5?

Last nights coverage was much improved i thought.

Duke didn't repeat himself too much.

Richie didn't agree with everything Bunce said.

Inverdale wasn't there.

Best bit of the night for me was Richie joking about how he's now a light heavy, Bunce tried to get in on it by saying Richie was more of cruiser. The look Richie gave him said it all.

heheh. That's what I was thinking. Froch looked like a small child next to Ron. Ronald is officially 11 ft 6.

Seriously though, he must be at least 6'6.

Plus Garry Richardson wasn't there. But you still have Jim Neely with his total ignorance, genuinely believing that Pickering's opponent had injured his elbow.

Neilly is such an inept commentator, everything he says is just so blatantly obvious he isn't a Boxing man, he just oozes ignorance. He is geared solely for the casual viewer who might believe that "Ratko Draskovic was a solid world contender" or "The Spaniard Martin is a good European fighter", i mean how does he get away with this stuff?
