    I lost respect for him because he is too haughty, condescending....and it pissed me off what he said about Buster Douglas on Legendary Nights. "I felt a sense that he was trying to get his time in the spotlight...so I let him". That kind of attitude makes me think.....he thinks.....he calls all the shots. When he clearly does not. It was really cool watching Bernard Rip him a new one. LOL.
    Yeah, I know what you mean like during the Mayweather/Bruseles fight Floyd was fightig great but all Merchant kept talking about was Floyd's past and how his competition was sub-par. He does get annoying at times.

          Why do you have to make a ***** ass statement like that just because I respect Jim Lampley. You have seriously have a problem. Jim Lampley is the best commentator, most people would agree with that, or why do big promoters pay HBO to produce their fights for them.

                Lampley is five times funnier than Merchant. He says things that are brilliant.

                "Hakkar is saying....what do I have to do to get knocked out in this town?"

                "Corrales adjusts his trunks and Mayweather hits him. Corrales looks at Mayweather as if he were to say: "Cant you see I am adjusting my trunks?"

                "As expected. Hopkins stuns Hakkar with the first punch of the fight"

                **** like that is hilarious as hell in my opinion.

                  quit making it so easy, nobody cares if you have a crush on the guy, I know he's a damn good announcer, but integrity? Class? Dude it's a BOXING TELECAST, not a symphony....plus if you're sensitive to my comments, you must be new here, you should know by now that i'm the Angel Manfredy of this site, lotsa trash talk and average substance

                    Watch a TV KO production and then you will learn to appreciate Jim Lampley's class. Boxing commentators should have class, that is just my opinion.

                      I was thinking that you meant a trio of guys to work together....in which case my "dream team" would be Al Bernstein, Howard Cosell and Big George. Can you imagine Cosell and Foreman ...talk about the odd couple!
