    I'm not a big conspiracy guy but its now clear to me that the HBO crew of Lampley, Merchant Steward and Ledderman have something against Mayweather.

    I mean Ledderman was giving Hatton rounds because Floyd didn't have enough Latteral movement even if he clearly out landed hatton with not just more punches but also the cleaner punches.
    Lampley and Kellerman are fair and call it like most do. Steward, Merchant and Lederman are biased ****s towards him.

    Lampley even said Lederman im not sure you saw the same fight as the judges because the scored it wide for Mayweather and then Lampley came up talking **** like he was drunk.

    Steward gave Floyd his props this fight, but he does'nt like him, i know that for a fact.

      Yeah, I didn't say Kellerman who is fair (although he was a overly agressive in his post fight interview with Hatton after his fight with Castillo). Kellerman was the only one of them who gave an accurate post fight assesment after the PBF-DLH fight and he totally contradicted the others, ala Foreman, which might be why they weren't doing this PPV.

        Manny Steward and Larry Merchant created half the Money Mayweather haters.

        Merchant is a legend and funny, so I can live with him, as for Manny Steward, I hope HBO fires his ass soon and replace with James Toney.

        I don't care if Ledderman is baised, I enjoy the ****er.

          I noticed that too. It seemed like HBO was pandering to the UK audience and the same for SKYSports. Both networks were going out of there way to compliment the opposing fighter. I was listening to the live radio stream on thesun.co.uk and they made it sound like Mayweather was destroying Hatton throughout the entire fight, a direct contrast from HBO's commentary. Lederman nearly had Hatton ahead on his score card. Teddy Atlas bashed him on espn.com wondering what the hell he was watching. lol

                James Toney knows boxing and he can also be funny, I said HBO should replace Manny Steward, not Lewis.

                  but He is not that funny and he is more of abusice comdian rather than funny. He blurs his word and he doesnt speak clearly.

                  Lennox Lewis, Tarver ( just to humble himself alittle bit), Roy Jones, Hopkins, Buddy McGirt or even Tszyu

                    Well, you don't like Toney so I really don't care what you say son, I will take Toney over Steward any day of the week.

                      what **** James Toney is going to blurl about he even doesnt speak clearly and talks pretty fast for most people to understand him.

                      hate him or love him Steward is better at commetating even though he hate or disagress in many thing but some of his tips presentation of himself is pretty good.

                      It not all about being funny but more about informing the fans what happening and why it happening even though James Toney has alot of knowledge I dont think he could excute the job well.

                      Teddy Atlas is a good choice
