Showtime has to do something about…

Him and Gus both get way overly excited with average exchanges, I feel like I'm watching Hagler-Hearns when it's Abril-Bogere.

I would like it if they brought Gus back but that dude is starting to grow on me a little bit.

Gus Johnson? ... That guy was the worst! I don't have any problems with Mauro. I think he does a decent job.

Kellerman has gotten better since he's mostly dropped his fanboy days of old and became more critical of everyone. Mauro is annoying, but so is Gus, Brian Kenny, and Bernstein when he is such a yes man, which is most of the time.

Max need to step his game up and move to Showtime.

I think Kellerman is great comentator. The only complain is when he interviews fighters, he doesnt seem nice when fighters thank their camps and God, he just want to disappear the microphone during those speaches.

Max Kellerman is great for boxing. Those who don't like him, well you know their ilk.

I know you guys don't feel so highly about MMA fighters, but this ones related to Mauro pooping his pants.

Maxstradamus: Max letting the world know how boxing fans feel: Max's P4P: People that can't appreciate Max are overly critical of a few sentences he has said in the past. Really? Because he made one comment 16 years ago, you'll never like him? Step your game up. He's the most intellectual commentator and has brilliant insight. I honestly feel people who hate Max are people who don’t like something he might have said about their favorite fighter or something. The guys is good at what he does, and I see only the people who don’t really know much about boxing here sticking up for a WWF sounding commentator who knows zero about the sport.

Yeah this guy needs to go. Say what you will about Kellerman but he's a true fan and absolutely loves boxing. Sure he can nuthug, but he can also stick up for what's right, like recently defending Rigondeaux and "the sweet science" in general. Gus and his "nuts and guts" was hilarious. I just want a boxing guy calling the fight, i.e someone who really understands what they are watching. This is the best thing Ive seen someone write in a long time, a lot of these guys don’t know how to judge people on their talent, just how much they like or hate them. Well said.

"Paul Williams is so avoided by fighters that he's frozen 3 entire divisions in fear." (to Luis Collazo) "Most people feel you were ripped off against Ricky Hatton..." (To Adrien Broner) "ADRIEN, you REALLY just KICKED THE HELL out of him. I'd take you through the (two) knockdowns, but THERE WERE SO MANY OF THEM." Max Kellerman is a f*cking tool. Just like everybody in NSB. At least Ranallo keeps it impartial. Man, Merchant was like that, Jim Grey is like that, Lampley is like that, but at least they can do other things. A lot of those questions you put up i respect him for asking except the Adrien Broner one. Those are fair things to say, who cares if they’re not that nice man, this a grown man sport. But I don’t want to hear a guy who makes a fight sound like we are at the circus, and yet brings nothing to the table. He knows nothing and usually he just goes with whatever Bernstien saids. The HBO crew disagree all the time, and sometimes ever argue.

Kellerman does the exact same f*cking thing. :lol1: "THIS is a MODERN BOXING CLASSIC!" "WHAT A ROUND!" You praise Kellerman for doing the exact same sh*t Ranallo does. The bottom line here is that networks hire commentators who are entertaining as well as informative. Even the NBA and NFL does that. Ranallo is good at the job Showtime hired him for. Kellerman did the same sh*t on HBO for years while Merchant, Lampley, and Steward did the big boy talk. Every commentator does that. Steward use to sound like he was having an orgasm when a great fight was on, but they bring other things to the table, they’re knowledgable about the sport. This Maranelo guy sounds to phony and fake, and he knows zero about the sport. He shouldn’t be calling anymore fights. Gus wasn’t good neither but better than Ranallo. If you like wrestling man then I guess this is why you’re sticking up for Ranallo.

I dont like commentary, i rather listen to the punches n concentrate in the fight Thats why i like Macau's HBO crew last saturday, the 3 old men cause they were mostly quite

Probably since I have been forced to watch Sho boxing more I have come to like there presentation better. They still have some work to catch up with HBO on that.

yes, emmanuel steward is the most overrated announcer.. roy jones is the best pauli is 2nd....... lampley is the best in a big great fight, but sucks in a dud fight i love jim gray, i know everybody hates him,, but he aint gonna let anyone off the hook with easy questions,,, jim gray is a goon

Steward ALWAYS knew what was gonna happen...after the fight before the fight; Lampley: "..well Emmanuel, give us you prediction for this fight" Steward: "...Jim, both fighters are great...we're in for a real treat..should be a great fight" fight happens, one fighter gets his ass thoroughly kicked and here's what we get; Steward: "...Jim, i KNEW that was gonna happen...the style was all wrong for so and so" Quoted for truth, as cunts like to say. Though death certainly seems to have an 'overrating' effect on any semi-famous person, so I'm sure we'll see revisionist historians saying that Steward was a fantastic commentator within a few years. Hell, I've already witnessed people stating that Foreman and Lewis were, and those two are still very much alive.

Ranallo is the absolute worst in my opinion. I don't believe for a second that the guy even likes boxing, this is just a job for him. That moment when he suggested Juan Diaz couldn't fight Figueroa because his brother trained him (Joel Diaz) was so f*cking cringeworthy.

I dont mind this dude,,, he is a fan and knows the sport at least..... he just isnt some talking head but yes i do prefer him in mma,,, he is much better at mma,, boxing he is a fan but not schooled in the nuances of the sport but thats ok cause he doesnt try and dominate the conversation... showtime could do worse...

guy seems realy fake to me, when all the commentators are sitting together before the fight starts and they are talking about what's to come, he looks real stupid with the way his mouth moves and always shouting, it's actually funny but all this talk about kellerman etc has me missing emmanual steward
