Strange/Funny Commentator Analogies (Atlas,Foreman, ect.)

On the Fischer/Kasparov comments by Kellerman, I liked when Lampley said to him that was Merchantesque. When you think about it, it was. I understood it, but like Merchant it seemed to go on for a little too long. I was listening to that wondering why I was hearing it from Kellerman and not Merchant when all of the sudden Lampley said it was Merchantesque. I laughed my ass off.

I thought I once heard someone say that Merchant made the following comment during a heavyweight PPV: "...like choosing between 2 tires in a junkyard (reference to both fighters)". Can anyone confirm? What's funny is that people would hear that comment right after dropping $40-50 on the event.

I understood it, but like Merchant it seemed to go on for a little too long. i liked that...and i can assure you that Kellerman stop running his mouth to tell " thats the most beautifull thing a man has never told me, thank u tahnk u thank u Jim" I personally miss Merchant in every hbo fight...but i have to tell that Kellerman, at least, is going places...better now that in boxing after dark

I love when Merchant goes " I love you Derrick Jefferson", but I also laugh when Lampley goes Ooooooh! No Count Necessary! That makes me crack up everytime. i thought it was lederman not larry...at least thats how it sounded to me

Foreman: "Tonight, the referee will be the most important man in the ring besides the fighters..." Kellerman's Fischer/Kasparov rambling.

Merchant likes to use cars as analogies. Especially Corvettes against pick-up trucks.

Teddy also seems to use a lot of football analogies. Stuff like how the running game is like a jab that sets up the big pass which is a big right or left hand.

I vote Atlas just so I can hear the analogies he'll be spittin at Oscar in the corner. Teddy Atlas: Ok, now Oscar, you've layed the cement foundation. Now its time to build the frame. The frame that will support your house. And to build this frame, you're gonna need a couple of things: lumber, nails, and a hammer. We need to make this house that you're trying to build SOLID. Think you can do that Oscar: :thinking: Teddy Atlas: Ok, nevermind that. You've put your mascara on, but now we need to accessorize with some nice stockings, lingerie and matching pumps to close the show Oscar: :boxing: on that thread about who should be DLH's next trainer

Foreman: Every tick that goes by is a tick in Shannon Briggs Favor. (A Lewis rights sends him down as he says this) Lampley: That wasn't a tick, that was a tock!!! Priceless

I wonder if Atlas has gone through an ESPN card without using the expression "behaving like a fighter"?

Back in '01.....Foreman claimed the road to the #1 lb4lb spot, went through JAMES PAGE. It came out of nowhere, & couldn't have been more absurd.

Foreman: "Tonight, the referee will be the most important man in the ring besides the fighters..." Kellerman's Fischer/Kasparov rambling. Merchant jefferson...i looooooove youuuu!! HAHAHHAH great post mate

Larry Merchant said, "Malignaggi floats like a butterfly, {hiccup} ...and he stings like a butterfly."

Pavlik is a tough cookie from YOungstown- Lennox Lewis

It was funny hearing Atlas during the Codrington-Bika fight. He kept going on about Codrington standing in the wrong real estate.

Once in a while some of the things these guys say cracks me up.. Teddy Atlas seems to always use food references on a recent friday night fights he was saying a fighter was "setting the table with the jab and was going to eat with straight right hands".. Foreman used to be the most strage and half the time he wouldnt finish making his point. Anyone remember any good ones? God that is so true. I wonder if HBO cut him a bonus check if he finished all of his sentences during a boxing program. I do have respect for George seeing how concerned he was during Bowe-Holyfield III, when he jumped up and yelled, "STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!" because Holyfield was gassed as fuck, and he had just had that heart condition diagnosed, and then it was claimed that it was misdiagnosed. That would have been damn scary to watch live.

Ainette Stephens Italian TV is good.. damn she is fine. makes me wanna hook up with a black chick again.

Merchant has at least 100 great analogies haha. Although its not an analogy, how about lennox lewis in the Pavliks vs Mirnda fight. " Pavliks nose is bleeding, so he's been hit in the nose." LOL haha Merchant is bizzare.. I liked when HBO had Jones as guest commentator, wonder if they will have him back since he just had a good fight on their PPV.
