Howard Cosell or Larry Merchant?

Which commentator is your favourite?

I'm going to have to go with cosell

Everyone associates Cossel with the golden era and now we love him but in his day people complained about him more than we do about Big George now.

I'll go with Cosell, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but the guy was a legend. He called fights as good as anyone ever IMO and you can tell that boxing was his favorite sport.

Cosell.He helped bring boxing to a wider audience

Gotta go with Cosell he brought way more to the table than Larry. Is there anything associated with Larry that is a quote everyone knows? For Cosell it's obviously "Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier." I hear him in my head sometimes. He was the best.

I picked Cosell too but I'm getting addicted to Larry's rudeness.

[Truth]

Larry Merchant is the man, somtimes he is annoying but for the most part he does a great job. I always get a kick out of some of his punch lines and sarcastic comments.

Howard Cosell was not as flagrantly biased

[bobbyjones]

what complaints were there ever about Cosell? I wasnt alive when he was brodacasting but ive heard him comment fights and he seems to be fairly impartial and jsut tell it like it is
