Mine would have to be Derek Williams, he was boring and spouted such garbage...I remember his saying the Klitchkos were 'no good' and the next Heavyweight champ 'was black and in an American prison somewhere'...jesus STFU!!!

Close behind would have to Richie Woodhall and his pro British, pro SN scoring..im actually convinced that his scoring is so biased that if the robbery happens(which he openly roots for) then he can say it 'isnt a robbery because he had them winning'!!

Jim Watt he isnt, I dont want my commentator biased, analyse impartially, its what you get payed for!!!

Duke McKenzie. The monarch of the mixed metaphor.

Nicky Piper bores me rigid. And there's something unbearably smug about him.

Jim McDonnell used to get on my wick as well. Though it might've been down to his squeaky cockney larynx, which made me think I was listening to a tomato faced 'rights for whites' cab driver.

Richie Woodhall is your typical English yes-man. He's like the Gary Lineker of boxing commentary.

Definately Duke McKenzie,his scoring though,always makes me laugh,i honestly think he watches a different fight to the rest of us.

Agreed, Duke McKenzie is a joke. He tries to act intellectual but he ends up sounding like an absolute idiot. We can all see through his pathetic facade, he is about as intelligent as my 3 year old niece

Duke McKenzie is useless but funny at the same time. Someone lands a jab and goes nuts: "Oooh, his legs have gone, it's all over".

I can't stand the egotistical Max Kellerman and Larry 'slow' Merchant. Lampley is OK though I doubt he's ever had a fight in his life. Except with his wife.

Duke is a clown but at least he is an honest clown...Woodhall annoys me because he seems biased on on the payroll!!

Compare his jibberish to Reg and Jim doing the Benn-McClellan fight, best fight of the 90's, British hero yet both were unbiased and gave excellent commentary throughout!!

What an insult to your niece!!! He's not that good

Duke does make laugh though, especially with his clichés and daft scoring. Never really rated Nicky Piper as a pundit, Johnny Nelson has his moments of lunacy but usually he's quite good.

No spud, hes a cretin..I thourougly respected him as a fighter, it was great when he beat Nardiello and was gutted when he got beaten by Holmes but his scoring and cheerleading is pathetic and enough to make me turn the TV down!! I know Setanta need to prove their loyalty but hs losing credibility

Spud · Post by **Spud** » 03 May 2008, 10:16

Pocket this is no wind up mate.

I honestly believe Woodhall is one of the very best out there!!!

I cannot remember which fight it was - where he got his scoring wildly wrong but hey we all make mistakes - but generally he gets things spot on.

Rees-Kotelnik, Mitchell-Johannsen, Joe-Bhop...cheerleader, all he needs now is the blonde hair and big tits!!

Without doubt John Rawlings is the absolute worse ever

Duke McKenzie is bad .. but Rawlings is worse.. how did ITV ever choose such a duff pairing

somebody at ITV has one wicked sense of humour

And Barry McGuigan too.

The piece he did on Amir Khan where he trains with him, has him on the pads tells him 'you have to duck under these shots' does it again and Khan ducks and then he stops and tells the camera 'see how quickly he learns. Amazing.'

It just made me want to slam the nearest persons head into the tv. Unluckily for her at the time it was my Girlfriend god rest her soul.

Reg and Jim were quality and your right pretty unbiased although watch the showtime version of that fight compared to ITV is totally different. Ferdie Pacheco completely focuses on the ref holding Mclellan back in the 1st as well as in the 8th where Benn gets a tumb in his eye.

He even mentions about the decision getting reversed to a Mcclellan win via disqualification!

Reg and Jim were quality, Watt still is, a credit to the Sport
