    lampley is biased as can be, Merchant is losing it, and Kellerman is just too much.
    They need some new people, and Lederman needs to go as well.

              Steward & Lampley: the best

              Papa: sucks

              Kellerman: the worst

              Lewis: not articulate, but not annoying like Kellerman. Foreman was much better than Lewis.

              Merchant: the best of all time, but he's getting too old and slow-thinking.

              Suggestion: replace Kellerman and Papa with 1) a Hispanic-American, maybe Oscar, and 2) an articulate commentator like Iceman John Scully or Joe Mesi.

                My dream team of current announcers:
                Jim Lampley (play by play)
                Larry Merchant (color commentary)
                Al Bernstein (substitute-color commentary)
                Teddy Atlas (commentary/analyst)

                  I like the HBO crew, what I don't like is on undercards of PPV's instead of calling the action they sometimes just BS about other things and ignore fight going on in the ring.
