      Completely disagree. They are horrible when compared to Steve Albert and Al Bernstein. Bernstein is the most knowledgeable guy in the sport today. Albert always has good calls. Neither of them ever shows a bias either.

        Is there anything sadder than a paranoid Mayweather fan? To imagine he was responsible for the commentary of a fight he wasn't in or even at. *****mania at its worst.

            I like Jim Lampley and Manny Steward, they worked well together during the Pacquiao/Diaz fight, without Kellerman.

            Max Kellerman is terrible. Why does he get paid for making a ****** comment every few minutes?

            How did Max, with his childish biases, annoying voice and lack of tact get a job like that?

              I will give them their due... they have their moments but I hate Grey with a fire of a thousand suns. I hate him when he covers the NBA and then Showtime hires him. It is like making a brownie and within the ingredients you add a little bit of crap. He ruins it for me.

              Love Lampley or hate him, I think he has given of the best lines in boxing during the fight. I don't care that he is biased. I also like the fact that he creams over the sport alot. He might be an emotional mess at times but I think that is a reflection of his love of this great sport. No where else do you get someone so invested in a sporting event.

                Well said .

                  Why do the announcers make all of you fill with rage?

                    I miss Larry Merchant, Lampley exaggerates sometimes when there is action, Stewards knows boxing. But somebody needs to tell Emmanuel that his confusing Filipinos with Thais, heard on the stream that Manny again refered Concepcion with big calves due to kickboxing.
