    I couldn't agree more! I loved all of them, Max irked me a little bit when he was so baby faced and I had no idea wtf or why tf he had this job. However he grew into the role for sure and between him, Manny and Jim - I was very happy with it!

    Curiously, Max went on to have a fantastic grasp of boxing history btw. I mean if you actually listen to him inside interviews, the dude knows his dates, his fights and some of the real unheralded fighters.
    The only reason I can think of, is that they pay these guys big money to talk and sway the viewers.


    And as for your second point, I actually really like Max when he talks boxing. Very knowledgable, and loves the sport. As a teenager he hosted a boxing show on a public access channel, he's not one of these guys that gets hired to talk about boxing and has to learn the sport on the job.

      Exactly, Kellerman was an articulate boxing historian who actually presented intellectual arguments and angles in the way of looking at things while calling the fight. And Lampley was just good at being a commentator in my opinion and drew a lot from experience as he'd been in the game for so long, something you can't teach. And Roy Jones offered boxing insights the others lacked. None of the other commentaries on other networks come close to the quality of HBO. Although I do like Andre Ward as a commentator. He's like a more articulate version of Roy Jones Jr
