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

            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

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

                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.

                  Lampley is the best by far.

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