When Foreman was on the broadcasts he used to say some stupid **** like the shoulder punches are having there effect and Lampley would say... "how so George?"

Merchant is tight as well, when Hamed was getting schooled against Barerra Lampley was taking about the one punch power of Hamed and a ko was still possible and Merchant said...

"not when your fight plan becomes a flight plan"

you want to see a heavyweight destoryer? vitali klitschko wants to be your man, he wants to be your man right now.


it wsant suppsoe to be this way. it waws suppose to be a profuntory set up for another mega fight. it was suppose to be a set up for one of the biggest fights in the alst 20 eyars. instead its high noon in vegas between oscar de la hoya and felix sturm, thats right Felix sturm.


With akward short arm shots, he's beating lewis to the punch, he ripes him again with a right hand, lewis momentarly wobbled, and lewis is still wobbly as vitali goes after him.


VITALI KLITSCHKO IS RIPPING LENNOX LEWIS UP



his best quotes :)

Dude thanks for reminding me.. One of my favorites is when Kevin Kelley was beating up the Prince but then the Prince turned the tides and knocked Kelly down with once punch Lampley said " HERE COMES THAT POWER THAT WE'VE HEARD So MUCH ABOUT"

I liked it when Sturm and Oscar were fighting and Merchant said something along the lines of...

"both of these men could be male models"

Another one...

Lampley was interviewing Iran Barkley and I believe it was before his fight with Toney and Jim told him that he was getting up there in age and if he were to loose what would he do next?

Barkley then replied with the greatest quote ever...he said, "Jim...(he pondered for a few seconds)...Im gonna rob your house"

Lampley was in ****ing shock, I will never forget that line!

I remember during Hopkins vs. Allen III

He was all like, "We interviewed Hopkins before the fight and asked him what is going to be his primary focus after the victory he promised and he said catching his wife doggystyle, you gotta love that doggstyle huh, roy?"

Roy was all holding back laughter...
that was the highlight of the fight.

Man the HBO commentators are the best! they always have good one liners thats what seperates them especially merchant.

Espn is 2nd I like Teddy atlas and tessitore they are honest, Joe tessitore after the o'neill bell fight said I want you to know you lost that fight hahaah damn man I love that ****.

Castillo vs. Corrales would have been the **** if Lampley, Merchant, and Foreman covered it.

LOL!! Go to ArturoGatti.com!! They have videos on there and you can watch Gatti-Ward 1 Round 9!! Lampley has alot of good ones in that round hes about to bust a nut.. My favorite is Gatti is getting pounded on the ropes and he's talking about the ref Frank Cappucino Lampley says "STOP IT FRANK, YOU CAN STOP IT ANYTIME " lol. and then Gatti comes back with thunder soon after!!

I bet you Jim Lampley sat in his easy chair watching JL and Chico wage war and was wondering what the **** is up with my network.

I love Al Bernstien he is great but Jim Lampley should have been on that call, he is plainly and simply the voice of championship prizefighting.

I saw the fight and was thinking to myself that too.. Imagine if a fight of that caliber was on HBO? Everyone always talked about Merchant and Foreman when HBO boxing.. I am convinced that it's Lampley thats makes HBO boxing what it is.. He is underrated.. He consistently brings excitement and passion to the broadcasts.. Merchant is a joke he really provides nothing of substance except trying to make himself sound virtuous with well thought out one liners.. I equate it to All in the Family after Edith died.. Everyone always talked about Archie Bunker, yet after Edith died on the show the show flopped.. Take away Lampley and HBO Boxing may not die, but diminishes greatly!!

Lampley is definately the superstar of the team but a guy like Merchant is more valuable then you give credit for...

He won't let Don King talk anymore because of all of the bull**** that flies out of his mouth and his fight ending analogy are definately muffled but if you listen to the message it always makes some sense in the end, hell my wife loves the guy and can't wait to hear what he says at the end of his broadcasts...plus I love it when he finally finishes his drawn out statement and he says..."Jim"
