Who's Better Boxing Network HBO or SHOWTIME?

HBO hands down.

HBO by far!

HBo, for basically the reasons mentioned above.

if it wasnt for Lennox lewis i would say HBO but right now showtime sneaks by by a hair. definately!

He does USED CAR YARD adds in his spare time. LOL! I can't remember if it was on this forum or another somebody actually thought the Ledster was smoking crack with the way he carries on like a 'Blue Assed Fly' with his unofficial scorecard! The Ledster is the last of the Old School commentators!

He'll turn up the volume with his 'ATTENTION' especially in the twelfth round, and if the fight's a close one! The Ledster then will give his scorecard i.e. 105-103 then the amounts of rounds each fighter has won! Then he'l say "Jim I gotta tell ya..." He is a classic! He does USED CAR YARD adds in his spare time.

Attention? I thought he says "OK Jim..." He'll turn up the volume with his 'ATTENTION' especially in the twelfth round, and if the fight's a close one! The Ledster then will give his scorecard i.e. 105-103 then the amounts of rounds each fighter has won! Then he'l say "Jim I gotta tell ya..." He is a classic!

How could I forget Harold Lederman's scorecard! "ATTENTION! Jim I gotta tell ya...." Attention? I thought he says "OK Jim..."

I gotta go with HBO. I love listening to Lampley,Merchant,Steward, and Lederman. They also have a better fighter roster.

I like HBO as well just because I've been watching Boxing on the network since I was little, but Showtime definitely has good fights. HBO is the best in the end it has the bigger fights and with the Lamps in company it always seems like a big fight.

It does look like HBO gets the nod so far! HBO guys have been together for a long time and have covered a ton of fights together! Showtime also is a kick-ass Boxing network. The 'Classy' Jimmy Lennon Jr is also an excellent ring announcer, "Okay fans here we go..." The Best Damn Sports Show Period also made a foray into Boxing. These guys seem to be more jovial about Boxing but however did a very good job showing Toney v Booker and Jirov v Moorer.

HBO. Showtime is much better now that AL has joined them. But, HBO with overall better production and fighters wins it for me.

Hbo.............

Ok it comes down to this, HBO has less frequent fights then Showtime. HBO saves their airtime for the high profile fights not saying Showtime doesn't have them also. But the big difference for me is the PUNCH COUNTS, i mean goddamn Showtime get your shit together. Tell me how many they hit or threw, that sucks not having it.

HBO is my personal favorite, but I watch Showtime whenever its on as well.

I am more used to HBO, they have the more established cast of commentators, BUT if we talking in terms of which network is better for the sport I would have to go with Showtime because they showcase the new talent of Boxing, they have little shows and documentaries breaking down the histories that was made in Boxing and overall in 1 month you'll see more Boxing on Showtime than what you will on HBO, SHO got the PPV's, the SHO-Box show and SHOwtime Championship Boxing as well as the re runs of older fights.. overall Showtime offers more in terms of Boxing and has showcased a lot of HBO fighters as well as HBO showcasing SHO fighters, HBO may have the better name fighters SIGNED to them but SHO does more for Boxing, they showcase more talent.. 100

How could I forget Harold Lederman's scorecard! "ATTENTION! Jim I gotta tell ya...."

HBO has the better roster of fighters, therefore they win. That's not to discredit Showtime though, the network that's brought us Castillo/Corrales and Marquez/Vazquez.
