    I agree about the great voice and drama. Unfortunately, drama often involves fiction. Lampley's blow by blow work is often not very accurate.

      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.
      Building off this base, which is pretty solid, I'd say if you are going to replace Kellerman or Papa, you'd need someone to replace his perspective. Why not Raul Marquez? He's Hispanic, adding a little ethnic diversity, very articulate, bilingual and out of a job after the Abraham fight coupled with the cancellation of Solo Boxeo.

            Whenever a fight is on I always look for the HBO stream for there commentary alone.

                NEW BLOOD IS NEEDED. I personally am not a fan of them as much as the other teams in the boxing game

                  The best crew would be

                  1) Asian Sensation
                  2) Iceman Scully
                  3) Larry Merchant.

                  with additional color commentary provided by Roger Mayweather.

                      They are the best commentators PERIOD. Showtime is pretty good as well.
