jim gray can burn in hell for what he pulled on pete rose. i wouldn't piss on that guys gums if they were on fire! he gets an F for ****ing die jim!


lampley is talented and probably the best in the biz, but as of late he's become extremely bias and redundant. still top dog though. A

bernstien is right on respectful and has good analysis, he is never biased and always see's and calls both sides of the story. in my opinion he's an A+

albert he's ok he lets a lot get by him when calling the action, he does have good delivery. i'd give him a solid B.

merchant although he is getting too old for his job and loses people when he goes into his deep thoughts about god knows what, he's still good and is all about making boxing great and exciting, plus he's done a good job for a long time and has always stuck to his guns butting heads with RJJ, Manny Steward, George Foreman and whoever else has been there. i give him B.



but one that wasn't mentioned and i think should've been is steve farhood, dude is good through and through, he's fair honest and respectful, i think he and bernstein ought to get together and work side by side. i give farhood an A.

[kayjay]

I'm pretty sure they, if I remember right, they do work together on Showtime. I agree though, he is pretty good too.

I like the HBO crew probably the best. Lennox knows what it's like to be a boxer so he provides good insight sometimes, Merchant over the years I have gotten used to using all those metaphors and taking forever on his final thoughts, but alway sticks by his guns. Lampley is my favorite especially in exciting fights.

Im starting to like the Showtime crew Al Bernstein is great and knows a lot about boxing and provides good insight. Marv Albert it took me sometime to like, but when the fight gets exciting I like his style.

Does Harold Lederman count as a commentator.. and what about Max??

He pretty much called the first Rahman/Maskaev ko. He was pretty good.

I'm still waiting for Jim Gray to be KTFOed by one of these boxers during an interview. He lacks major tact.

I have an enourmous amount of respect for Larry Merchant, although he has lost a step or two so to speak. He's still excellent, but a bit slow nowadays. The guy's seen it all it seems. I do remember a segment where he told a story of a time when he was working for the stars and stripes and he had the opportunity to interview Pep...I thought he was kidding...I remember seeing him call an old Sal Sanchez fight, just can't remember which one. He's been around forever.

Lamps gets paid by the syllable. His style fits well with Merchant.

I like Farhood and Bernstein on showtime.

Harold Lederman looks like a cartoon

when i first saw him, i couldnt even believe that voice could come out of that man
