    Wow so much hate for Kellerman, I mean I enjoy hearing his commentary more than others I've heard from before.

      Ali-Frazier III
      Morales-Barrera I & III
      Vazquez - Marquez I, II & III
      Hagler-Hearns
      Pryor-Arguello I

      those are just off the top of my head

        no way any of those were better

        Ali-Frazier III is the best heavyweight fight ever but it's nowhere near as good as Castillo-Corrales I

        Morales-Barrera I was a lot of pure violence but not sustained the entire fight. There was also a bogus knockdown call and the wrong man got the win, though it was close.

        Vazquez-Marquez III hasn't been rated higher than Castillo-Corrales I by ANYONE, so how the hell could Vazquez-Marquez I would be better? You're just BSing at this point

        Hagler-Hearns? 3 rounds. Corrales-Castillo I? 10 rounds of Hagler-Hearns.

        Pryor-Arguello, are you insane?

          Even if some consider those fights to be better, you cant say they are inarguably better, that to say they were better without doubt. Its all opinion.

          Anyway, like I said I think Kellerman was simply talking about LW division fights.

            If you honestly think ALL of those fights were better than Castillo-Corrales then you are mental.

            Pryor-Arguello is easily the pick of that bunch and it is close.

              I hate the way he tries to sound like Merchant by making everything sound flowery. It's men punching each other, there is really no need.

              "Tonight was a fight between two battle worn souls. One soul was trying to escape his past, the other trying to carve his future. When two souls engage in battle only one soul can win. The one that wins is usually the best soul. Great fight. Did I mention that Paul Williams has 3 weight divisions paralyzed in fear?"

                ***n ROFL. He does hug the nuts off Williams ridiculously. That cannot be denied.

                  I used to think Kellerman was alright, but his tone of voice and face piss me off now. He seems so ungodly smug and know-it-all these days, too. As much as I'm a fan of Katsidis, his nuthuggery of him even when he's getting beaten (i.e. Diaz) grates on me big time. There was a poster here a month or so ago who had a sig pic of Kellerman's face superimposed onto an owl - now every time I see him I go "hoot hoot!" I've still yet to find out who that poster was again...

                  Oh, and I'm probably one of the few who don't care much for Hagler-Hearns. Besides that opening round, most of the fight looked sloppy as hell and some spots downright irritated me to watch. I can't explain it very well, but I don't rate it much at all in comparison with longer drawn-out wars like Bowe-Golota I & II, Pac-JMM I & II, Chico-Castillo I, Gatti-Ward I, Katsidis-Earl, or even Cotto-Margs. I could watch those all day long and never get bored... Hagler-Hearns, on the other hand, made me think "is that it?"

                    He also said that when there's a lineal title on the line it's the best fighters in the world. .... I guess he never saw the mighty Zsolt Erdei.
                    I thikn he said one of the best lightweight fights of all time..

                      I have disliked kellerman from the beggining now he is on HBO ruining the telecast there. he is akin to the poor commentators that were on Showtime, The fat black guy (When he was still commentating) and one or two othe rones. usually when Max is speaking I have to turn down the volume or do something else for a minute. Just hearing him speak is irritating and his wide-eyed over-excitable commentary style is about as fun as hearing someone scratch chalk on the chalkboard. Everyone says that foreman was such a bad commentator but he wasnt nearly as bad as this kid. (not even close)
