    Take the microphone from Jim Gray

    rumors or not.. as a professional journalist.. you DO NOT go into a fighters dressing room and, 10 MINUTES before the fight, grill a fighter with an opening question about allegations of buying steroids or HGH... not to mention press him further after his initial response.. fighters are trying to spend that time preparing to go to war with another human being, he's gracious enough to allow an interview, and you get in his face with bull**** like that???

    F Jim Gray.. and his dyed orange-ass hair, the guy finds new and improved ways for me to hate him each time he's on a broadcast....

    You could almost sense showtime trying to paint "common" boxing viewers opinions by asking those initial questions with McCline then going on the laugh though an entire interview with Peter...

      I love Gray; did you guys seem how he got the interview with Mccline after Jameel seemed intent on leaving the ring? Very good journalism I think....

        the sickest part was seeing the 'honest to god' look of shock on McCline's face after Gray's intial pre-fight question... i'm gonna have to go back and tivo-rewind to see the post comments...

          I have hated Jim Gray a long time....one of these days someone is going to pop his ass,which is what he wants...so he can be the story.

          I hate his ignorant style of interviewing...under the guise of in depth journalism,which doesn't mean you have to be rude.

                  Go back and watch James toney slapping the Mic away from Jim Gray after he defeated Holyfield. That was nice too.

                    I disagree. If McCline was reported to have $12,000.00 worth of steriods, Gray's inquiry was justified. What's worse? A cheater or a journalist going after the cheater? ans. the cheater I don't give a damn if he did it in the corner between the 5th and 6th rounds.
