Whats up with the so called HBO Boxing Xperts?

[The Gambler1981]

Those guys have all been in and around the sport of boxing for a long ass time.

These are one of the more annoying opinions when some people think paid analysts who have been around the sport for the majority of their life don't know **** about it. no one's OPINION is perfect and it doesn't necessarily mean its a fact (obviously), but Sugar and hell, even Lampley will know more than 80% of this forum.

[Heru]

Are Bert Sugar, Letterman, Max, Manny, Larry, and Jim paid to act like they know boxing?

No, Gus Johnson gets paid for that.

Except for Max, everyone of those paid their dues more than 30 years ago. And Max spent years on ESPN2 doing Brian Kenny's job and on the boxing page for the ESPN site.

Sugar doesn't work for HBO btw.

[Ekscape]

All of them know more about boxing then 99.9% of the people on this forum... that's for damn sure

Are Bert Sugar, Letterman, Max, Manny, Larry, and Jim paid to act like they know boxing?

The true expert there Bert Sugar & Larry merchant, Max's still a work in progress but getting better, manny steward is overrated, Jim is the best Blow by Blow but He's under control by Whoever's the House Promoter. Lederman just a comedian.

Pacdbest still better than all of them...the closest one to me is Larry Merchant. We almost agree on many things.

He said Pacquiao is on the cusp of being an all time great. I just watched that countdown tonight where he said it. And Pacquiao has quite the legacy, his place in history is sealed.

Which one said Pacquiao is better than Henry Armstrong then? Because that **** is down right ******ed.

[johncods]

[revs1227]

[Bad Boy Dazza]

u guys gotta remember when these guys are actually being objective with a fight and when they're actually 'selling' a fight or a fighter. i mean come on, bert sugar knows MP is not the best of all time.. but he was selling him for the Clottey fight. come watch this fight, come watch this fight. thats all they're doing.

they all are pretty damn knowledgable though, i knew about them but Roy Jones and Max Kellerman surprised me the most though with their knowledge.
