I only have HBO. I had a trial subscription to Showtime some time back and it was cool watching some of their fights. HBO has some good fights but the commentary is pretty biased sometimes in favor of certain fighters. And depending on how you look at it, Larry Merchant can be entertaining to watch for the laughs (laughing at him), or he can be real annoying. Who knows what the hell he ever says. He always tries to say something profound and insightful but only manages to sound like a complete jackass in the end.
And as far as the other commentators go -- Roy Jones Jr. and George Foreman (is he still with em?) -- they have a WAY better perspective on the sport and the fighters and not to mention, reality, than Merchant, and Lampley is ok.
