Who would be the best fit for SKY?

Jamie Moore and Ed Robison would do me just fine.

Al Bernstein please.man knows his sh*t and would put Halling and Watt to shame.

Keith Senior, after his excellent punditry on Spike TV.

i second al bernstein

The commentator on the Froch Taylor fight, whoever that was.

"I'm coming back to England ma"

What kind of list is this. None of these are remotely likely to work for Sky. Apart from Lennox perhaps, but who wants to listen to him. I never heard anything interesting or insightful coming out his mouth.

I know none of them would but, i was basing it, if given the chance of any of the USA based commentators

Paulie Malignaggi.

Colonel Bob or Larry Merchant

Little known fact: Larry Merchant has a holiday home in Widnes and spends most summers there when he's not working. That being the case, him coming over to work is not as far fetched as you might think.

Wow

Yep. Larry is a big rugby league fan and has followed Widnes obsessively since Jonathan Davies moved there 27 years ago. He's got the key to the town, is often seen stumbling out of Ring O'Bells, and has a tattoo of Fred Higgins on his right shoulderblade.

Oh sorry man I just got it... Haven't they divorced?

Any 'honest opinion' will do at this stage. I'll vote for Lennox.

He gets some stick but I like Lampley, gives a big fight feeling in a way a lot of others don't.

That being said, I voted for Al Bernstein, he's done some work for channel 5 so would be the only realistic option and he seems to have a genuine interest in UK boxing. Very easy for proper boxing fans to see through people that are blagging and that's probably what you'd get from a lot of U.S commentators/analysts, but Bernstein certainly knows his stuff. Other option from the States would be Paulie.

Also agree that there's a few already on Sky that would be fine, such as Ed Robinson, but for some reason they've given Halling and Watt the main roles.
