Max Kellerman

I'm critical yes, but mostly because I don't see the point in celebrating what's ok-good, only pointing out and discussing wrongs and perceived wrongs. Let's try a **** sandwich. Good, bad, good.

I respect Emmanuel Steward a lot, he makes some very interesting insightful comments and calls things more objectively on the whole. Lampley can be ok, and is quite professional on the whole. Lennox Lewis is ok, sound, insightful commentator on HBO. Hopkins insights and comments on fights are incredibly good and thought provoking. RJJ is very respectful and a class act whenever he's on HBO or tv, certainly now anyway.

This topic is on Max Kellermen however. There's no excuse to say a guy was knocked down in a world championship fight against Eubank more than once. Most within the boxing world knew the basics, if he didn't know that's one thing, but don't say something blatantly false on national tv as a reputable presenter and so called expert. Plus he's done it more than once, that's laughable. He also said Roy made Calzaghe looked like a washed up Tito in R2. Ridiculous. See the thread I linked for more. These are just recent ones, any interview with Kellermen I just don't like the guy, he's constantly getting at something with motives and can't just put his agenda's and opinions aside for the sake of professional commentating and presenting, which one comes to expect. Those are fair valid and backed up criticisms, you can't deny.

As for you mentioning Setanta, their coverage was ok but not great. Richie Woodhall wasn't overly insightful and scored the bout badly. Buncey can be irrational and over hype locals, plus the young small guy doesn't know much.

Setanta's coverage is full of less mistakes, is sounder, but slightly less entertaining. HBO's is full of more opinion, mistakes, odd comments, but is a lot more entertaining. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Good post, now I see where you're coming from.

Just one thing man, don't sound so bitter. It sometimes feels like you take yourself way too seriously.

When an expert on a professional broadcast gives blatantly unjustified, false info on more than one occasion and more as I linked, one can be bitter whichever boxer it's on, especially on your a fan of. But ok lol . I do find it ironic you said I'm never satisfied though, you do pick.


I'll try to piss about more for you. I rode the spongebob square pants 3D ride at the science museum, mate and I screamed louder then the kids was heavily trippy.

"The ones who say he's the best they ever saw are telling you the truth. The ones who are denying it are player-hating," said HBO boxing analyst Max Kellerman, who will call Jones' fight against Joe Calzaghe at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. "I've seen home movies of Sugar Ray Robinson at welterweight. That was the best I ever saw, period. But in my lifetime, Roy Jones was the best I saw." -Max Kellerman, HBO analyst and boxing historian.

Kellerman knows more than you do so accept these statements.

one opinion out of many... but it is more informed than most

Jim Lampley made the mistake of saying that Eubank knocked him down in the Roy fight. Max has only made that mistake once.

Yea, i was'nt serious about everyone believing this for a fact, and was mostly messing about. I do however , think Kellerman gave a good ringside insight as to how one would percieve the elite fighters of this generation. He is not just a Jones fan, he is a boxing expert and anybody can make a mistake about Calzaghe's earlier fights, he was nowhere near a world scene to be paid much attention to. Sorry, but it's true. I did'nt even hear his name over here until about 2000. That's the honest truth and I've been a boxing fan since the early 90's.
