    What fighters have you noticed the commentators on HBO root for the most???

    Besides the contract fighters, I believe jim, and larry seem to show some favortism to Manny Pacquiao since day one they were praising him when he devoured ledwaba saying they wanna see more of him, and when he fought juan manuel marquez they had pacman winning, and even were screaming loud when he knocked jmm down 3 times, and said jmm was practically done, has anyone else noticed this? or is pacman a contracted fighter for hbo cause I have not seen him on the list of hbo fighters.

    Recently Merchant rode the testicles of Sam Peter.

    Roy shows his favorites but it is usually in watching the first few rounds and then he makes his analysis of who he likes in a fight. What I like about Roy is that he knows his stuff, Merchant and Lampley are good for color commentary and interviews but Roy tells it like it is. Big George use to always say, "He just needs to land that one big punch" Roy breaks it down and he knows when a fighter is on the verge of going out and makes great note of it. Prime example in the Danny Williams fight, before Williams was even all the way down Roy says thats it he's done, boy was he right

    Lampley rides the house fighters no questions about it. Whoever is the bigger draw is his obvious choice.

    I question Jim's ability to make his own choices, because he doesnt know **** about anything but the favored fighters.

      Meldrick Taylor in his fight against Chavez.. the kind of cheerleading going on for him was embarrasing to commentators everywhere.

                  When you KO a good prospect in Ledwaba, of cours eyou wanna see more of the fighter. When he fought JMM, no **** they'll be excited, how often do you knock a champ down three times in one round. You wanna see favoritism, go watch a DelaHoya fight. You can hear Lampley salivating while you watch.
