why all the hate for Max Kellerman?

He's ok. He says some stupid shit sometimes, but he's very passionate about what he does and I like that.

He has his good days and bad days, but ultimately Kellerman's enthusiasm is good for boxing.

compared to someone like steve bunce, i dont think he talk too much

I don't like him because he's arrogant. What done it for me was his handling of the Mayweather v Marquez post fight interviews. He had no idea how to handle big egos, he was totally out of his depth. He talks too much, as an interviewer you don't need to say too much in your questions especially with a guy like Floyd who doesn't need much of an excuse to shoot his mouth off. In the end he was shown up as an amateur, that farce wouldn't have happened with Larry in the ring.

I like him as a commentator.

The guy knows his boxing, he could sometimes be better at putting it across but that will come over time. I prefer him to Larry who can be so derogatory sometimes. Sure, sometimes he just has the balls to say what everyone thinks, eg Mayweather-Baldomire interview, but take the Mayweather-Manfredy interview, a young PBF after a big win was having a little trouble getting his words out, so Larry butts in, says 'you're only quick in the ring' and stops the interview, what a prick. (It's good when he makes those kind of comments to the modern day, egotistical, dickhead Floyd though.)

I don't hate or dislike Max, I'm on to watch the fights not to watch the irritating announcers.

:haha: What's sad is they have more skill than 98% of mainstream rappers today....lol

lol i never knew he rapped http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uA8hcv1MzA can someone embed this? i dont know how he's not that good, his brothers ok tho

Because of his Rap Career. Nah but in seriousness he's not all that bad.

Kellerman is a pretty smart dude, his voice is annoying though and whenever there's like a knockdown or anything he sounds so dull. Emmanuel is good at analyzing the fight real well. Jones is pretty good aswell. Jim, Foreman or Lewis, and Larry are the best combo IMHO.

I didnt like him at first, but i like his enthuasism, his knowledge even his accent, which was annoying at first. He's grew on me. I enjoy the faceoff segments, he doesnt interupt the boxers like other interviewers (larry merchant, steve bunce, jim grey etc) do, you can tell he respects the fact its not about him. You can tell he gives a **** about boxing. Larry Merchant, legend, but come on, he hasnt been a decent commentator since the 1990's, and Emmanuel Steward is the definition of boring the guy gets abuse every time i see someone writing about or talking about HBO, give him a break, he's probably the best thing about HBO commentary at the moment - which shows how much standards have fallen but the abuse he gets is a bit perplexing to me No hate here, I like Mad Max.

I don't like him cause he's a Black Boy lover

kellerman isnt all that bad...he's matured as a commentator and he can be very insightful he's better than lampley and old larry merchant at this point...lampley hardly ever has any interesting contributions his post fight interviews are indeed very short and involve him mostly doing the talking but merchant was like that back in the day too. also cutting the postfight interview with floyd (vs marquez) short like that was a bit rude Yeah, I like Jim 'Bang Bang' Lampley, but I prefer Kellerman.

Jim Lampley is important part of broadcasting, he is not hired for analyzing the fight, but for making broadcasting exciting, which he does very well. I don't like Max, because of his whiny voice and the way he opens his mouth while talking. Also he is a fanboy. I like Lederman, he very often while commenting on scorecards points on the things that other commentators didn't see.

everyone is just hating on Max because he's a better rapper then they are lol

Bob Papa is excellent and Gus Johnson is okay most of the time. Al Bernstein comes across as phony and he's biased against European/white boxers. Antonio Tarver is the best commentator/analyst - he's professional, articulate, insightful and unbiased. Papa comes across as a part time observer of boxing and when he calls a fight he just sounds boring. Gus Johnson is horrible in every way. Bernstein is a good announcer and has a good knowledge of the fighters he is watching. I agree with Tarver.

He may b an ass n a mummy's boy but he's entertaining n that's what I pay for

I actually like MAx Kellerman. At first I was like, "Larry Merchant is 10000000x better than this guy," but as i continued to watch and listen to im commentate, I think he's pretty good at analyzing fighters and breaking things down, but what bugs me about him is that he tends to get too personal sometimes, with his situations with Floyd. But other than that I do find it funny how he tends to push fighters in the post fight interviews. The other day i found out he was a rapper...and i laughed suuuuuper hard, to the point where my stomach hurt.
