Teddy Atlas vs Jim Lampley as commentators

[Clyde Barrow]

Lampley, though I enjoy the call of Atlas also.

[Mayabang]

One of my sources told me that he received an email from Jim Lampley saying that Teddy Atlas was a better commentator.

[johncods]

Atlas is soo negative.. he annoys me..

Man I love what Lampley says at the end of this fight starting at 1:48

[McFearless]

They serve 2 different roles pn their respective broadcast teams but I will weigh in any way.

Lampley by far! Atlas is terrible for the sport of boxing due to his negativity. He tears down the sport we are all trying to build up. He gives MMA bullets for their gun

Yeah I thought that too.
but he's also damn annoying as well

and true about the mma

[check hook]

who's better?

ANTONIO TARVER?

Jim all the way, he is way more exciting to listen to, because he sounds more excited himself.

Atlas keeps using the same old boring metaphors. sometimes it doesnt even sound as if he cares,

Obviously Atlas has more boxing knowledge, being a trainer and a former amatuer fighter.

But, Lampley may be one of the best commentators in sports period, not just boxing. His voice is perfect for it. The way he switches tones is great.

Ive always felt Lampley seems fake. He is like a professional robot commentator. That annoying fake smile he always has.

Hes just a little over the top.

I dont know Atlas too well, but i like a bit of negativity. Thats why i like Larry Merchant. Negativity and criticism balance things up and seems more honest.

[ThePunchingBag]

Lampley is the best by far.

His voice is perfect for those dramatic montages we're all fond of.
