    I thought Stewart Lampley and Merchant were the best HBO team. Steward kind of kept Lampley in check and I don't care for Kellerman.

      Surely failing to include Steward, the very best colour commentator of our generation is borderline blasphemy? Nobody ever captured a fights spirit the way he did, i miss his insight so much in fights.

        miss Jones more than anyone he had so much insight when calling fights much better than Lewis or Macini.

            I don’t. Before all the politics they were good . But when things changed they would call a fight in favor of whomever hbo wanted to win more and it just ******.

            I liked the old school guys who were neutral and called the action without any bias toward one fighter.

              They were better than anything around today. Lampley, Stewart and Merchant was the best trio by far

                I miss the old HBO Commentators.

                Merchant
                Lampley
                Steward
                Foreman
                Jones Jr.

                Hell, I even miss Kellerman.

                  Lampley was a racist hack w/ an agenda.

                    With HBO out of the picture, I actually prefer The Sky Sports crew. AJ/Ruiz 1 and AJ/Klitschko are fantastic. I'm in the states so rarely do I get to hear them but love their enthusiasm

                      No. Lampley and Kellerman were annoying. Like Roy Jones as a commentator though.
