    As far as the play-by-play, there is no better. He is fantastic at it. As far as commenting on other things he loses a bit, but nobody is perfect at the job. Because of that I'd vote at the highest vote possible. He is the best in the business.

      Steve Albert is actually starting to grow on me a little. he did a great job with the Vazquez/Marquez trilogy.

        Its like listening to a ring annoucner currently who isnt michael buffer...

        when i think of current fights hearing jim lampley/larry merchant and michael buffer doing the ring announcing is the best it can get for me overall.

        Merchant is funny...lampley calls the fight very well...and buffer is well...the voice of ring annoucing hands down.
        People hate Larry Merchant but I don't know what we will do without him! I like the old guy and some of his metaphors are corny but I like them. He's like the old granpa who says whatever he wants and gets away with it.

          Lately he has become too much of a critic and also is too slow, but he still says some great stuff though

              He is the best commentator in sports in my opinion, not just boxing.

                  The guy has been commentating in the sport of boxing for the longest time.. he also has been writing about it. Here is a guy who has seen the sport in its golden days and sees it now.. I would be a critic too if I was him.

                    Yeah, I like Lampley.

                      Lampley is the best ever that I've heard at that, without a doubt. He makes big fights seem even bigger. I just wish his blow by blow accuracy held up better on replays.
