Colin Hart as a pundit?
I remember him doing a few pundit gigs on sky.
I though he was actually alright. Spoke the truth.

He’s an old school clueless Bell end who is one of the dinosaurs of boxing and sports journalism. He’s actually worse than Jeff Powell
Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
All he ever seems to do is lament boxers of today and name-drop fighters and fights he saw in-person decades ago

Do you wanna know something that’s really interesting about Colin Hart? His hair is NOT a syrup!

He's got a banging syrup, but he just yawns in about Ali every time I've ever seen him.

Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
Wish I'd been at some of the fights he was at ringside for.

Is this the fella with a mop for hair and a thick, deep cockney accent?
Like a lot of boxing journalists, he's a nob.

Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
Why all the hate for a man who was born when he was born? Try approaching Colin Hart and having a chat. He is a good bloke.
Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
I’ve no doubt he’s a good guy. I think he’d be good as a talking head in a documentary or for writing an article on Ali or fights from yesteryear. However, his negativity and unfamiliarity on today’s boxing scene makes him unsuitable as a pundit for today’s fights.

Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
Hes been brutally honest about fighters. I remember him saying hatton hadnt got a prayed against pac. Wasnt there some controversy afterwards for his "speed kills" comments?
Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
He's a boring, pompous old trout. Looks the type of guy who hangs around public toilets.

Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
I find him pompous too, but beloved by industry insiders for some reason; if he was as knowledgable as they make out why did he work for the Sun for all those years?

The way I look at it, it's Colin Hart vs the likes of Paul Smith.
Re: Colin Hart as a pundit?
He’s ok but not as a regular
