    I like Larry Merchant, but he seems lately as he gets older, to be more bloodthirsty, but he radiates integrity.

    My choice is Bob Sheridan, the Colonel, who is a complete all round team in one person, announcer, blo-by-blow, colour and analyst. He never exaggerates, is rarely much out, and has the most pleasant voice and manner.

      Tarver and Lewis was boxers and champions so I respect their opinions a lot more then Merchant and Kellerman, Foreman was very good also

        Another thing I like about Teddy Atlas...he should never have got fired from being Tyson's cornerman. If he hadn't Tyson might just have stayed out of prison.

        So I like Teddy Atlas....and then theres this quote:

        "If you ask those people, they're going to say one thing: 'Why would you walk away from $30 million on the table just not to take some blood, just not to take a test. If you're clean, what do you have to hide?'...the regular man—the common man—has a right to think that and say that." -Teddy Atlas

          No, he lies all the time.

          Examples:

          "Eubank knocked Calzaghe down in the first round of their fight"

          "Berto beat Urango by a wider margin on the scorecards than Hatton did"

          "Rahman agreed to fight Wlad on three weeks notice" (it was actually six weeks)

          "Most people thought Collazo beat Hatton" (most boxing writers' comments and fans poll results - including a poll here at boxingscene - indicated most people thought Ricky won)

          "Khan has a much longer reach than Paulie" (it was only 1")

          Notice there's a pattern to Kellerman's lies. He always discredits the European boxers, especially the British fighters.

              I perhaps should have had him in the poll instead of Wally Matthews...

                You forgot about when he compared Paul Williams to Tommy Hearns, Julio Cesar Chavez and Pernell Whittaker.....in the same sentence...

                ....against Verno Phillips

                  Yes.

                  I like PWill, but that was ridiculous.
