    Every time I see Foreman smiling at the camera after a fight I laugh, I think he's great.

    I like Kellerman the best now.

    I used to really REALLY like Merchant...but he's gone waaaaaaaaaaaay offa the deep end now.

    Lamps is alright...but he seems a bit full of himself. Always loved Lederman & Lewis is starting to grow on me.

    I'll stick with Max though. Oddly enough...I always thought that he was too big for ESPN2 & that he should move over to HBO.

    He's just so damned enthusiastic over his job.

    I really like Lennox Lewis, he's growing on me, but the dream team for sure is Foreman and Lampley.

    Agreed. Lennox is starting to pan out, isn't he?

    Definatly, even in his first event I could see the potential, I think you noted it too, we know talent when we see it

    hahaha YEAAAAAAAH right this is a typical commentating statement from Lennox: If he continues to throw that many punches he will for sure get tired as the match goes on further down the stretch".

    stating the obvious like Magic Johnson did: while he's dribbling the ball notice the shot clock that means the longer he dribbles the less time he has to actually shoot and make a basket.

    hahaha

    Agreed. The thing about Lewis is...he just needs to warm up a bit. Lewis has a wealth of knowledge, he's understandable, & he's just now starting to get into it.

    Honestly...I'd rather him be up there than Jones.

    I like Lampley overall, although I think he consistently shows bias in favor of specific fighters, notably De La Hoya and Barrera.
    Merchant was once a great analyst, now you're lucky to get one or two sentences out of him in between rounds. He's still worth having around just for the unintentional comedy.
    I think Steward does a very good job. I always thought Foreman had no clue what he was talking about.

    Fran Charles is beyond horrible.
    I like Kellerman, sometimes his voice can kinda get to me because he yells more than talks. But overall he does a good job, he was great on ESPN FNF, and I assume he's being groomed to take Merchant's spot someday.
    I don't think Lennox is anything special. Like someone said earlier, he just states the obvious most of the time. But I think they should keep him around, he certainly sounds like a bright guy, he could improve if he gets more comfortable.
    I've always thought Brian Kenny would be a great addition to the HBO team, it would be great to see him take Fran Charles' spot, but I assume as long as he's at ESPN that's not going to happen.

    One of my favourite quotes of all time is from a famous "soccer" (it's football really but I'll be forgiving for you american idiots!) manager, it goes like this " I'm a firm believer that if you score one more than your opponent you'll win" A few years ago my drum teacher said to me "The best advice I can give you is K.I.S.S, Keep It Simple Stupid." Thats my philosphy. But seriously like wack said, he has a wealth of knowledge, and has a unique style once he settles in, sometimes he sounds a bit stupid, but he is articulate and enigmatic at the same time. He stole the show when Maskaev knocked out Rahman again IMO
