Is HBO Still The “King Of Boxing”?

[Truth]

I think it’s fair to say that HBO has lost some of it’s thunder. I think they still have the best commentators, but I do miss George Foreman. His replacement, Roy Jones Jr., speaks like a high school drop out – and just lacks the personality that Big George had.

Roy Jones is smart and his commentary is good in my opinion.

I used to hate Roy Jones, but now I like listening to him. You can tell he's grown. He used to try and direct everything towards him, but now he just calls it down the middle.

Is this guy on the Showtime payroll?

Lets be ralistic here. Is there any boxing fan on the planet that wanted to see Judah vs Spinks over fights like Winky/Tito? or Gatti/Mayweather?

He actually list Tyson/McBride as a highlight.

Talk about quailty or this and that, but one thing that is not up for deabte is who has the "Biggest Fights".

Morales/Pac
Tito/Winky
Floyd/Gatti
Hopkins/Taylor

Good point. But you have to agree that SHO has been stepping it up...Still their commentators suck..

And the FOY belongs to SHO and it was FREE!

HBO and Showtime have a decent rivalry going. As far as fights, I think HBO broadcasts better bouts overall. Lampley, Jones and Merchant are better than Albert and Bernstein. Buffer owns Lennon too.

HBO is still king.

HBO is still betta cuz they got betta fightas on em. Great future possible matchups.

[TheEvilSaint]

HBO hasnt been producing a lot of good fights except for morales/pacquiao, arce/hussein, and tarver/johnson II.
Showtime has had hatton/tszyu, and castillo/corrales.

HBO needs to catch up.

For the fights that are free...Showtime KOs HBO!!!

For PPVS.....HBO KOs Showtime!

etc.

edit: I forgot about Barrera-Fana though but HBO still wins...
