      i hate larry merchant, but i love how funny harold lederman is. my entire family knows the crew and regular fighters on HBO.

      HBO isnt perfect, but its the best of the three IMO.

        I'll rule out espn straight away because teddy atlas is a ******.The hbo broadcasts are always well presented, but lampley and merchant can be pretty annoying and biased at times, i'd say showtime is the best.

          I like HBO but I am surprised how much they are winning by.

              I think that says it all! A perfect network will never be found.

                Commentary/Analysists' knowledge
                Quality of entertaining fights
                Anything else you can think of


                Which do you like best? HBO Boxing, Showtime boxing, or ESPN?

                fast repliers: poll coming soon
                HBO had a much better year then Showtime this year, however Showtime did have the better year last year.

                I prefer the Showtime Commentary/Analysists more, they don't annoy me like the way Manny Steward, Lampley or Merchant, but I think Lampley is the best for calling fights and it's not even close.

                If you created this poll last year I would've probably voted for Showtime but HBO deserves the vote this year, they've had the best free fights this year.

                  I agree with what people said about Lampley, he does make fights more exciting. When he gets excited, I am excited.

                  *hard right hook*

                  Other commentators: A right hook from (boxer), textbook.

                  Lampley: OH MY GOSH!!! A HARD RIGHT HOOK, HIS HEAD ALMOST CAME OFF!!!!!

                      I watch even the cheap-budget promoter PPVs and the boxing in 60s,etc. - the commentary & production isn't a huge priority, but I think Showtime has the best overall package. Too much cheerleading & mismatching on HBO to be #1...
