    So it doesn't take any insight in order to set up other commentators?

    no. you're right. and papas is a master at the power of suggestion. in fact, hsvingngivren it mo0re thught, i think he has more insight somtimes then the
    experts." he'sjust humble enough to hint it to them and let them the one to declare it.

    fact is, a lot of the success enjoyed by the so called experts in the sport is due to power plays,knowing the right people and commanding then respect of the right people.

    but i gurantee you you benrdstein and even that jew guy on showbox are intellecually supperior to stewrard, dundee, etc, in terms of breaking down a fight.

    Bernstein, Marotta and Farhood are my personal favorites.

    I think Bernstein is the best commentator. He was at his best in his ESPN days, but he's still good. I disagree with some of his scorecards, but he keeps his concentration on the action.

    One thing I always liked with Bernstein were his references to a boxer's previous fights...even obscure ones. He did his homework on fighters and he was able to make that information relevent.

    IMO, the best commentating crew possible would be him - back in his ESPN - calling fights by himself.

    I like Farhood at lot. I think print was probably his best format, but he's still very good on television.

    You're saying he has the looks of a writer?

    I think Nick Charles looks the most uncomfortable in front of the camera.

    what 's unique about benrstein is that he has a sense of a fighter's team's expectations - and narrates the actiomnms withrespect to this which amkes for an interesting take in many cases, for example, when a fighter's camp is just way off about what they expected to occur.

    Nick Charles is awful. I used to like him when he did CNN's version of Sportscenter. He sucks at boxing though.

    Was that the Delvin Rodriguez card at Mohegan Sun? I was there. All the best fights were actually off TV that night. :lol:

    Bernstein's "Keys to Victory" is the most underrated segment in Boxing, because he is almost always right.
