Is this why Lampley is a bit off when asked about Big George?

    Yeah hbo is too biased at times. Especially Lampley. I rewatched Cotto vs. Clottey and listening to Lampley was somewhat disgusting. I have no problem with Cotto getting props he's a great fighter.

    But he was extremely biased and hardly gave Clottey any credit. While Steward was giving Clottey his credit. Maybe just to balance Lampley's biased out? Who knows.
    Please. Try watching a Oscar fight (or any other house fighter)--absolutely disgusting. But one of the most ridiculous displays was during the first Hopkins-Taylor fight. It's the last round and Hops has the young boy reeling all over the place from countless rights; legs looking bad, with his back to the ropes. What does Jim see? "Taylor is setting a trap for Hopkins in the corner!"

    Jesus Christ.

      It was the Hopkins vs Trinidad fight. Tito was really getting beaten up badly, then I think it was the 8th round Hopkins is pounding on Tito then Foreman claims that Hopkins is tiring, then when Lamply asks him the signs he says "He went to his corner and laid his feet flat out, his old legs wont handle it". Lol, then he continued to do nothing but talk about how great tito is while he is gettign a beatign untill the 11th round, when it become obvious that Tito doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of scoring a KO. Other than that I loved hearing Foreman regulate lamply.
      in all fairness, tito was the fresher guy going into the 12th tho. He was taking the ass beating of a lifetime though. Foreman wasn't that biased tohugh. he was stating the truth, Hopkins had to watch out cuz tito still has a puncher's chance but, we all knew at that point he didn't have a shot in hell.

        i often disagree with what george says. i still respect him though for being honest and giving HIS opinion. can stand merchant, lederman and especially LAMPLEY when they take the hbo fighters side. also they are scared to disagree with the other broadcasters. george might be a bit punch drunk but atleast hes real.

        as for the whole KD thing in the moorer-holyfield fight. i think it was a 10-9 round since moorer dominated the round until he got dropped. i think 10-9 is the most fair score, and i would rather score it even than 10-8 holyfield. i know its not the point but still.

          I have always said foreman was the best,most honest commentator ever.he was the ONLY commentator who said without a doubt wladimir could rebound from the sanders,brewster loses! The ONLY one.Roy jones compared wlad to butterbean!foreman would always talk about times he was hurt,tired,etc in past fights while jones & lewis just brag about themselves.both are good commentators but George was HONEST! That goes along way with me.

            does anyone remember the Byrd/oquendo robbery in Michigan? After the fight George said if chris was a true champion he would have admitted defeat in the post fight interview which never happened...Byrd wouldn't even give him a rematch...or should I say don king wouldn't give him a rematch.
