    He is 70 years old maybe his best days scoring are behind him just like Merchants best days as a commentator are gone but i still would rather listen to them then lennox lewis and max kellerman.

      Don't forget he's only 1. Where as the other judges are 3 so you get different scores from them according to the angles they are sitting at. Harold is in 1 spot and he's trying to make up for that by seeing EVERYTHING possible with the lack of angles. So when he reads his scorecard, whether it's far off from another judge or not could be because of his position. I think he does the best he can do and he's suppose to be neutral, it's part of his job or they wouldn't have him there. I just find it funny when a fight is over before 4 rds and he doesn't get a chance to read his card. Musta ****** in the Pac-Hatton superfight

        I was just re-wathching floyd vs chavez fight and lederman had it 86-85 for floyd WTF???????

        The fight was nowhere near that closed. He gives the first 2 rounds to chavez???? WTF????????
        Its weird.
        Sometimes Lederman has decent cards and sometimes they are just completely and totally off by 4 or 5 points.

        I expect there is a level of bias there.

          Sometimes he's spot on, but other times he returns some really wacky scorecards...

            he is a far from the "worst". his cards are usually pretty accurate.

              People ***** about announcers no matter what the sport or who they are. I find his perspective somewhat enlightening because he was a respected judge for so many years, and I get to hear a judge articulating his thinking process and why he scored a round one way or the other.

              Everybody is a fallible human being but when the scorecards are announced at the end of a fight, I often wonder, as I sure may others do, how a particular judge could have scored a fight they way he or she did. Because some cards seem way off the mark. I don't always agree with Lederman but I have never felt he is way off the mark.

                He is fairly consistent in what he is watching for , I disagree with how he treats overall aggression and punch output so I tend to disagree with how he scores fights.

                He is not that bad though because I can pretty much always pick who will win the round on Harold's scorecard.
