      Larry Merchant, there's really no question!

      That guy really knew his boxing and he was a really funny guy too.

        Bet on the underdog every time and see how fast you are broke,,

        They aren't 100% but they are better than anyone else

            No internet youtube video analysts or your homie from the barbershop. Im talking about people in tv. they can include former boxers as well.
            even with his over-dramatics, i'll go for larry merchant...

            however, it is the chemistry between larry, jim, emmanuel and the off-tangent max that gives me the kick watching these fights on hbo...

              Yeah but used them as evidence as Vegas handicappers are "way off"

              Trust me, whoever those guys are, they have the best insight and info and ultimately the best opinion in general terms how a fight is gonna go..

                With Al, I've seen him on British TV (channel 5) and he clearly hasn't seen the guy he's talking about but cos they are main eventing on the channel or contracted "in house" he praises them. That's what I dislike, he does the same over on US channels.

                Lampley kisses ass for fighters who deserve it, he is obviously a massive Pacquiao fan and rightfully so, there was a time when he really liked Tito and Oscar, again rightfully so. What's wrong with that?

                lol that's crazy. His list is also a bit off

                  Cus D'amato, Larry Merchant, Al Bernstein, Manny Steward, Bert Sugar.

                  Those would be the top guys in my book.

                    I love George Forman,s Commentary and analysis of fights.

                    I have total respect for Mr Foreman.

                      he also said that shane mosley was "one of the great welterweight jabbers..."
