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

All he ever seems to do is lament boxers of today and name-drop fighters and fights he saw in-person decades ago

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

He's a boring, pompous old trout. Looks the type of guy who hangs around public toilets.

I've met Hart many times. Would not describe him as a good bloke. He is a pompous has been.

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.
