    Is Max Kellerman on deck...

    To replace Merchant on HBO?

    God I hope so.

    I've enjoyed him on the last two HBO PPV's.

    I certainly hope not. While Kellerman is annoying as hell to me, he is knowledgeable about the sport and is well suited as post and prefight hype man. He is not a good blow by blow man.

      I can't speak for your taste, but he's better than a drunken and incoherent Merchant, and a distrasting subject dwelling Lampley.

      HBO has gotten worse and worse in the last few years.

        Merchant is so funny. He's so out of this world with his references to just about anything. Yeah your right Max isn't a great blow-by-blow guy...

          You only need one blow by blow guy. MK can give a lot to the broadcast with his insight and commentary.

              I hope so, I think HBO is THE PERFECT place for Kellerman to display his skills.

                When Max gave the chess analogy referring to Hopkins it was a Larry Merchant esque analogy....

                but...


                Max delivered it perfectly, it was like Larry Merchant in his prime. When they flash back to Merchant and Lamply I immediately thought about Merchants job and it being in jepoardy.

                  Kellerman is awesome and I hope they show Merchant the door in his favor.

                    I hope not. Larry is the best.

                    However if anyone does replace him I hope it is Max. Last night I was very impressed by him. That Chess analogy was amazing he delivered it peerfectly.

                    He's really shown his stuff the last 2 PPV's for HBO. You can tell when he's with HBO he turns down the schtick and just plays it straight.
