    Showtimes Jim Grey or hbo's Larry Merchant??

    IMHO Jim Gray bosses the interviews. Showtime is just so much better at damn near everything boxing related it's not even funny. Jim don't play!!

    "Waitaminute, you think you lost because of the ref?? The fans will find it disturbing that you thought you dominated". LOL Jim & showtime are simply slammin!!

      they're both great, no nonsense guys who'll ask tough questions and won't back off when a fighter tries to avoid a hard question

        Jim Grey is the far less biased of the two, which is always a good thing when it comes to a sport like this, but Larry Merchant's voice is just classic and timeless to me. Much like Jim Lampley : I can't think of many big fights without their voices doing to commentary.

          Jim Gray asks the right questions, without patronising the fighter! So Jim Gray!

              I like when a fighter starts praising god. Both those guys give the guy a look like STFU already.


              Guys like them are needed to ask the tough questions.

              Gotta be a jerk sometimes to get the real story.

                Jim.

                Larry tries to annoy too many fighters and get a reaction, Jim at least asks serious questions and then tells it like it is.

                    Jim Gray is more versatile ...his epicness transcends the sport of boxing.
