      I like Atlas as a character and Boxing mind - but Jim Lampley is my #1.

          I agree with everything here, 100%. Atlas is good, but Lampley is the best.

          And I can't believe someone said they like RJJ as a commentator, you are the first I have heard, which is probably why he lost his job as a commentator with HBO.

            ummm, what are you talking about? he lost his job because he didn't feel like showinng up to the meetings. RJJ was a great commenter and offered a lot of insight in the fights. He has a great boxing mind,

              You are right about missing meetings, my bad. But I really did think he was kind of annoying when he commentated. He talked about himself a lot, but I'm a Mayweather fan, and the majority of boxing matches that I have seen on HBO have been Mayweather fights, and he always talks about how good Floyd is "just like I was." I don't know, there was also just something about him that got on my nerves, but there are certain things that bother me with all the past boxer turned commentators (Lewis, Foreman).

                I like Lampley but sometimes he's a little biased and it does get annoying.

                  It would be cool if HBO had..

                  Lampley as play by play..

                  Atlas/Steward/Merchant.

                  I'd love to see Atlas with those two.

                    Larry Merchant should just be replaced by Atlas. Larry Merchant gets paid for the sole reason to tell everyone as many times as possible if a fight is great or boring.
