Tired of Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant

[j]

McAlister, well, i don't think he's much of a racist, if he is one. there are certainly black fighters that he does seem to like.

i have noticed a general theme with the guys you listed. they all are basically loud mouthed, generally disresepctful, arrogant fighters. bernard is more of an exception as he doesn't come across much like judah or toney, etc.

maybe he just doesn't like arrogant people who take 10 minutes to walk to the ring.

I think Jim Lampley overuses some of the same phrases way too much. Like this one where he is like:
Winky Wright pumps his fists as to say. Blah blah blah.

You guys know what i mean?

yup, just like lennox's "definitely" or "absolutely."

except merchant doesn't bother me as much.

hilarious! I love Lampley though, its fun trying to impersonate him. He gets into it so you gotta try and say it with emotion.. lol

Larry is a trip but he's entertaining at times with some of his off the wall commentary.. lol. Oh and lets not forget his classic "trytolookclever speeches."

Speaking of Roy Jones, I honestly thought he was a pretty good commentator, believe it or not. He knew what he was talking about and spoke about it through a fighter's perspective, which I found refreshing.

yeah i loved before the spinks/karmazin fight when jim grey basically toungue in cheek made fun of spinks for getting knocked out after rapping on his way to the ring and asks if hes gonna do it again.

and spinks says something along the lines of...

cause thats what corey spinks do and corey spinks always gone do what corey spinks do.....

and jim grey goes...

"well tell me corey, what exactly do corey spinks do?"

Jim Gray is Larry Merchant in training...lol

There he goes again

Larry tells the HBO costumers that Floyd bored himself to tears.

[ferocity]

So far i think they've done good. Nothing annoying.

emmanuel steward is the best of the three. I like merchant but he's wrong 70% of the time, and Lampley is good but annoying often.

Honestly the best thing for boxing would be WWE style announcers that push the product, though not without any honesty whatsoever like those guys.
