I actually liked Gus Johnson but he ain't no Lampley
And whenever they had Al Bernstein and Tarver commentating it was cringe worthy
Tarver would mispronounce simple words and they would always agree and compliment each other like
"I agree" "Excellent point" "Thats 100% correct"
It was like watching bias Fox News giving each other handjobs

For example, his coverage of the JMM vs Pac fights, if you were listening to them without watching them, you would think Pac was absolutely destroying Marquez.
The reason I think Al Bernstein is the best is because not only does he know boxing, he makes points and always seems to refer to the boxers for their view point. Giving way to their experience in the ring and giving that basic respect. Max Kellerman used to be good but he's over stepping his boundaries as of late. He talks like he actually was a pro fighter.
I don't always agree with Bernstein but he makes intelligent points and is not biased at all. In his coverage of the Mares vs Agbeko I fight, Mares was the star of Showtime but he repeatedly expressed his displeasure with the low blows.

He doesn't interrupt the broadcast team with stupid little tidbits about this or that. He calls the fights, and Bernstein does a bit of Lampley, and Roy's job. Plus Paulie is better than Roy IMO.
Showtime > HBO commentating by country mile.
Oh yeah, that guy Max can go **** off.

Haha, good thread.
This dude's voice doesn't even match the face. He sounds waaay too hyper and doesn't put anything creative together. When it comes to young faces commentating, I can appreciate Max because love him or hate him, he knows some history and has true admiration for the sport. When you see guys that do not, that is when you can appreciate him moreso.
I agree, Mauro should be back in an MMA gig or at least WWE. He reminds me a lot of Jerry the King Lawler.
