    Lampley has the best voice, but the stuff he says gets me shaking my head no.

    RJJ is good. Kellerman is good.

    All in all I think their team is fine they just have to be allowed to say what they really want to say instead of the HBO script.

          HBO's team isn't perfect but who's gonna do better?

          Whether you like him or not Lampley has become the voice of this generation of boxing. Kellerman would be a lot better if he didn't always have to try to prove to us how smart he is. Though on second though I'm not sure what else he brings to the table so maybe he does need to go. Jones is just whatever, not great not bad.

          But Lederman is dreadful. As "America's unofficial scorer" or whatever they say, he is awful. Take one step backwards and you lose the fight in Ledermans eyes

            If I were the head of HBO Sports, I would make the initiative to create "HBO Boxeo" for new metrics. We are in the era of 4K marketing bliss. Imagine if HBO Boxeo had legends like Duran with two fresh but amazing Spanish commentators. HBO needs to collect on the Hispanic market.

            With the new Hispanic subscriptions they can carry over profits for regular HBO Boxing and it's budget

              Bernstein, Ranallo, Paulie... those guys put the HBO team to shame.

              Why don't people assume the decline is because of commentatory. New generations watching
              Ranallo sucks dick. Hard.

                  I don't know much about who should or can replace them, but so far I have heard RJJ and Paulie M and both of them sound really knowledgeable when calling a fight.

                    "Ohhh... he just received a hacking left hook to the face!"

                    Whatever, the dude's doing his job like a boss!!! That's how you hype retention. Then you've got Bernstein who can give historical scenarios and then Paulie with real experience...
