    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
    Watch James Toney on The Best Damn Sports show and tell me if he mumbles??

    I don't care if HBO hires Toney or any other ****er, I just want them fire Manny Steward, I can't stand that ****er.

      I really wish they brought back Foreman, he was funny and was much more impartial than Merchant, Steward or Lampley. Hell, someone just pointed out and I just noticed that Merchant never looks PBF square in the face when he interviews him but he looks almost everyone else in the face.

          No one is 100% but I still think Foreman was a very good commentator and personally prefer him over Roy.

            i always download an english version first if it is available...........even when you can forgive commentators for being more biased towards their own fighter (uk vs usa fights)..those guys were so true and respectful...great stuff Brits..more of that please!

              Foreman was good and even when he'd suck balls, he'd make it so obvious and it would just about be forgivable.....

                i dont know if you were watching the fight with other people, but everyone in my house couldnt understand how hatton was winning the fight when mayweather was landing the cleaner harder shots, and when i downloaded the skysports commentary i was shocked, not only was it more accurate, but the scoring was much better.

                  Watched it the first time and couldnt hear much with all the people over but was puzzled when looking at the periodic graphic of Ledderman's score card. But rewatched it and thought it was so biased that it was almost comical.

                  I saw the Sky Broadcast and was shocked at how much better, from an energetic entertainment perspective and from there BETTER impartiality (always gonna lean towards the hometown boy). But it was much more balanced.

                  Every other sports writer and commentator had it almost the opposite of HBO. The only call HBO got right was "Cortez calls a stop".

                    when mayweather really began teeing off on hatton, i couldnt hear anything, when hatton got combo'ed like it was gatti all over again, my house lost, it, and when hatton hit the canvas, like 3 houses in my local area went nuts, i think i know who the city of oakland was standing with when it comes to this fight.

                    i couldnt beileve it when my mom heard the hatton anthem for the 3rd time during the lacy fight, my mom is very courteous and polite and pretty reserved person she said "mayweather needs to knock his ass out and shut these people the **** up, theyre ****ing up my buzz"

                    i was shocked at that more than anything because she would end up being right, yes he was knocked out, but no, they still didint stfu

                      I was actually excited about that crowd since the Vegas crowds are usually high rollers with comp tickets and little true boxing zeal. I love a loud crowds and been a part of many here in the Tri-state area. What turned me off was there booing of the Star Spangled Banner. After that I was like I hope PBF's KO's Hatton to STTFU.
