Wow, you just now figured this out. Years after he's been through with commentating? You deserve a cookie.

Your fellow ****y and arrogant New Yorker Teddy Atlas is horrid. He should've been canned years ago.

I miss Foreman as a commentator

Foreman had his moments as an announcer.

But the whole HBO team is garbage at callin fights. lol They don't seem to get a ****in thing right. The whole HBO team are hit and misses. Sometimes they see exactly what everyone is seeing, other times they just couldn't be further off. Then someone like Ledderman will point out somthin that makes sense or is accurate, Lampley and the team will disagree, sometimes Ledderman will see somthin that makes NO sense, and Lampley and the team will correct it. lol They basically see some weird **** at HBO when callin fights.

Showtime's got a couple of accurate announcers though, Al Bernstein sticks out. Everytime a couple of their guys points out a fight is turning, it's when I can see the same thing, when a fighters hurt etc etc they call it almost perfectly.

The guy's on Versus are the same, but they seem off sometimes too.

Teddy Atlas calls perfect fights, I mean he'll point out real specific **** that my head hasnt even registered yet lol. But he can point out the specifics nicely.

For the best announcers talkin for the fight, I lean towards Showtime and Espn. Nothings more annoying then watchin a interesting fight with a bunch guys sayin some obsured **** that makes no sense, lol That **** will annoy you, you'll be drunk with a bunch of people talkin to the TV an ****, tellin the announcers to take their eyes out their asses and put em back in their heads.

It doesn't make sense to bash George, he was very personable and made the appropriate comment at the right time, and he was funny by times.

But I agree that Teddy Atlas sucks. Foreman was MUCH better than that phoney, repetitive moron.

Foreman was unintentionally hilarious.

"My ref is the most important man in the ring other than the 2 guys fighting"

"It doesn't matter if he's 6 foot 12"

"Ruiz is saying to Jones 'come on come on'. What he needs to say to him is 'stop, stop!'"

Larry: It's a shock to the boxing world.
George: I think it's a shock to your world Larry. The boxing world isn't surprised.

lennox lewis is as bad as it gets.

I think I've seen just about every boxer-commentator bashed except Leonard. Anyone care to round out the list?

**Thread Stealer** · 03-15-2008, 02:08 AM

Ferdie was a **** commentator.

this guy ALWAYS goes for the guy thats losing and only goes for them because they have a name

hear this commentating from sept. 29, 2001 trinidad-hopkins when hopkins was thoroughly beating tito's ass in the 11th and was looking to knock him out : " hopkins better be careful because this guy is relentless he just keeps coming and he's gonna eventually taste trinidad's power ". get the **** outta here !!!!!!!

from the hamed-barrera fight, marco's getting in that ass and here goes dumb ass foreman with his bull**** comment: "the last thing barrera wants to do is to slug it out with the prince" plz .....

If i were a boxer i would pray that foreman is rooting against me so i could win. PS: I even think lennox lewis is a better commentator that him and thats saying ALOT.

they should have never gotten rid of big george.
