This is a guy with an ego so big that he thinks he can talk to the fighters any way he chooses because they are just dumb fighters. He got what he deserved when Toney smacked the mic out of his hand. He really is bad for boxing. Why people talk to him is beyond me.

Absolutely 100% agree with you. The only person he interviews well is Mike Tyson, and that's just cuz he's scared of getting hit. He is a pressure sore on the ass of boxing.

Yeah, he didn't talk **** to Mike until after he left the ring. Then he was like "You 2 can decipher that." I'm surprised he talked **** to King, King has 2 bodies already. He told King not to endorse Kerry because apparently Gray is Republican.

Johnny Tapia got on the guy one time.
Gray wasn't being negative towards him in any way, but Johnny decided to tell him what Gray did with Pete Rose was wrong.
I laughed my ass off !
I think Jim Grey is a complete **** head but he is not bad for boxing, no way! Mike Tyson is a **** head...he is not been bad for the sport either. Grey has got balls give him credit, what does everyone want some watered down interview/status quo ****.
Did you watch the interview before the Tszyu/Mitchel fight. He was interviewing Mitchel and Mitchel said that his corner would not let him continue in the first bout, Grey showed him the taped and basically said thats not what happended, he calls fighters out and as ****y as fighters are they need to be called out.
Grey can be a real jerk sometimes but I don't want to be the one not watching when he is a jerk because it makes for great tv.

Jim Gray rude as hell. I don't like him at all. Larry Merchant is the king of rude. He reminds me of the Keebler Cookie Elf. Someone should tell him to climb back into his treehouse.
