Originally posted by RightStraight View PostI try not to listen to the commentary, it distracts from learning. Sometimes I just mute it. From what I did hear though, Lampley makes the fight exciting for viewers. Serious or casual, he has that kind of voice and really presents it well.
Jones/Lewis/Stewert/Foreman were a part of the actual game, I hold them to higher standards because they know it from the inside. At least when it comes to what we're watching. People have favorites and when they do, it's hard to separate that favoritism.
Kellerman started off good but now he's conforming to the HBO requirements and is falling into line with those guys. He always seemed genuine and fair in his analysis. Now he's just saying what he's being paid to say, it seems.
Merchant was cool sometimes, when his figurative speech was on point. When Pacquiao was fighting someone (I think either Hatton or Marquez) he said something like "Pacquiao just came at him like a typhoon across the pacific" I thought that was a cool analogy and he had moments like that throughout his career, earlier on at least and as he got older it seem to really fade, along with his relevancy to the fight. Otherwise I didn't feel like he belonged.

I am gona have to disagree on this..
Roy is biased towards some fighters YES... Despite he is still a very knowledgeable man when it comes to boxing... Kellerman is my favorite... Jim is great to. The only thing i disliked about HBO was Larry Merchant.. glad he ****ed off.
PS: For me HBO set up is best in the world. Sky Boxnation don't even come close... sho is alright.
