      lampley, merchant and kellerman. despite being weird sometimes...nobody beats these guys..i also think tarver is doing a great job as a commentator considering hes really had no experience with it.

        This thread is just another attempt for Tunney to praise his favorite, Teddy Atlas.

          Yes I wish I had more room in the poll, but the maximum is ten choices.

            Al Bernstein.

            Really like his style.

            Lampley is a great caller but starts to hug sometimes and it gets annoying (e.g. Cotto).

            Don't get me started on Atlas - HORRENDOUS commentator/scorer. The worst I have ever seen for sure.

                THE GOOD:

                Larry Merchant: the BEST, but he's past his prime

                Jim Lampley: very talented blow-by-blow man

                Manny Steward: a knowledgeable, insightful analyst

                Joe Tessitore: excellent play-by-play commentator

                THE BAD:

                Al Bernstein: thinly-veiled bias against European boxers

                Nick Charles: similarly biased, but just agrees with whoever the analyst is

                Steve Farhood: sounds very gay, has subtle anti-European bias

                Lennox Lewis: he may not be a smart man, but he knows when a boxer is hurt by a punch

                THE UGLY:

                Max Kellerman: exaggerates foolishly, sounds a bit manic sometimes, lacks common sense and social tact, biased against Europeans especially Brits, bulging "cocaine eyes"

                Teddy Atlas: negative, hateful, biased, self-aggrandizing and just plain stupid

                    I'm fine with all of HBO except Kellerman and Lewis...

                    Showtime's fine for the most part...
