Jim Lampley's successor?

[dans]

We can pretty much assume that once Larry Merchant is done, Max Kellerman will take over his duties, but what about Jim Lampley? Is it Bob Papa, Joe Tessitore? Anyone have any insider knowledge or suggestions?

[Silencers]

I think they'll promote Papa, Lampley will be missed though, he's been doing boxing for a long time.

Agree, I like Tessitore. He's from Connecticut too, my home state. Only thing is that Tessitore does football too and is really good at it.

I agree. I find him a little flat. Lamps get's pretty hyped for a fight.

Never heard that one dans01234, but it sure was funny!

My pick, ain't nobody but me going to like it. I'll miss Lamps, but I'll miss Larry even more. But my dream pick after they're gone would be Teddy Atlas & Max. They rag each other a lot, both love the sport and know it inside out.
There would be insightful commentating as well as back and forth good natured cracks at each other, which I always like hearing.
