Lampley is getting worse very broadcast......Lennox seems to disagree with them often but only says it once in a while and just shuts up.

Lampley sucks in major ways, only Merchant makes sense, if he is not too drunk.

The way I see it, Steward has a thing against the fighter who's tentative, backing up & looking to counter, he thinks they look tight & not relaxed. Merchant still makes some good remarks they just come long after they should, Harold gives the fight the agreesor regardless of he's being effective or not, & they all seem to alway be looking at one fighter instead of the fight in general. Foreman was one of my favorites as well as RJJ & Lennox seems to be getting better but still not very good in my opinion, but to be honest the new generation of commentators they've got are even more boring then the veterans IMO.

i dont like foreman because he was big time bias to a few fighters

trinidad to name one and he used his ring experience as leverage he'd throw that in the other commentators faces everytime he'd be backed into a corner like some of the "boxers" do on here

They all seem to be biased in my opinion, but Foreman was the guy who gave you the best insight from the fighters point of view in my opinion.

I would just leave boxers or trainers in there, like George, Lennox, or Manny.

I thought Lampley/Merchant were terribly boring and missed the shifting momentum of the Maskaev-Rahman fight. They missed the entire fight with their vacuous commentaries.

I don't mind Lampley becuase of his excitement. Merchant is the one who needs to go. He drags on with 10 minute sentences..it's painful to hear. The freakin guy must be 80 years old.

I think Lennox is actually improving. He was horrible initially, but has made steady improvement. I don't think he said "absolutely" one time yesterday.

simply put.most hw fights r nobodies and the commentary arnt interested. no paragraphs jus simply put.

I like Emmanuel Stewart a lot, I think he is the best of the HBO crew, But I wouldn't mind having Teddy Atlas doing HBO commentary.
