    Max Kellerman ****ing rules.

    Am I the only one who thinks Kellerman is fantastic, and rapidly becoming the best member of the HBO team?

    Merchant used to be tremendous, and still is pretty good. But it feels like he's phoning in his performance sometimes. Kellerman is passionate, honest and insightful.

    I loved the way he berated the judges for their scores during Oscar v Floyd.

    And then months later, he made that speech calling into questioning Floyd's resume.

    No bias, just telling it how it is.

    He's also called Oscar up on fighting Pac, and slaughtered judging standards during Diaz Vs Katsidis.

    Calzaghe fans don't like him because he had the temerity to mention Dawson's name after the RJJ fight....but to me, he was just saying what most fans were thinking. He got Hatton to call out Floyd. If he gets the ball rolling with big fights, what's so bad about that? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Kellerman is a fan, just like us, so if he can use his power to get fighters negotiating fights we want to see, then respect to him.

    Yeah, he ****ed up about Eubank knocking down Slappy. It's more a sloppy error than anything major.

    I know Larry is a class act and it will be a sad day when he retires for good. But Kellerman seriously rules.

    I feel like I'm in good hands with him.

          I like him also, people only dislike him on this site because they are jealous that he has the jobof their dreams.

              I second this.

              Earlier on I use to think Kellerman was a simple fanboy who didnt know anything about the sport but the more time goes on the better he gets.

              He pretty much is a voice for all of us here who are big boxing fans.

              I really respect and enjoy how he isnt afraid to ask the tough questions to boxers in post-fight interviews. How he questions who they should fight next and so on.

              I wouldnt be suprised if kellerman posted here simply because he seems like a boxingscene representative when he questions fighters and when he's talking about boxing in general. A very smart and well informed member of the HBO boxing family. Looks like when lamply walks away he will take his place and I cant really argue with that.

                I think Max Kellerman is the worst boxing commentator I've ever heard.

                HBO would improve their ratings if they replaced him with "Iceman" John Skully.

                  I dont see why everyone hates Max really. I've always liked his work. Sometimes he's too much of a fanboy. That's about it. Him and Al Berstein are good in their roles. Lennox is really the only commentator on either HBO or Showtime that I cant stand.

                    The Katsidis fight lol.

                    "Did you think you won the fight?"

                    "Ehhh...I dont know Max, what do you reckon?"

                    "No. We had Diaz winning comfortably at ringside."

                    He does what Jim Gray tries to do without coming off as a ****.
