JMM the best counter puncher in boxing according to Lampley?

Really? What about that cocky black fella who countered the shit out of him and outfoxed him for 12 rounds a few fights back?

And don't get me wrong, I love JMM A HELL of a lot more than I like Floyd, but come on.

If you're going to be the voice of boxing, you need to get your facts in order.

JMM is ATG but there isn't anyone in boxing like PBF.

I think Lampley was even saying this before the KO if my memory serves me right.

Lapdog is pretty good behind the mic but he also calls punches that are not even thrown by Hbo fighters. The punch that laid him out was a lead right not a counter.

This is true. JMM got there first, is all.

It could be that Lampley doesn't consider Mayweather to be 'in boxing' at the moment.

It is Jim carnival barker Lampley after all.

The guy makes up shit as he goes.."BANG BANG BANG", remember

Money-driven hype. That's all this is. JMM is going on 40, you can tell that his reflexes (necessary for his counter-puncher style) are already deteriorating. This was an excellent win, but unlike the Pactards who go ballistic when he beats an over-hyped Hatton or drained Cotto, we need to realize that JMM is fallible. I would love to see him fight one or two more up-and-coming belt challengers and then hang up the gloves. He's had a solid career, definitely in the same boat as the other Mexican legends. He deserves all the credit in the world for this win, but we need to remain realistic... not get sucked into the promotional hype.

I would say Mayweather, as defensive style boxers generally speaking are counter punchers and Mayweather does hit harder and is more accurate. Jim is...well think of it this way, if Manny got KO'd by THE best counter puncher it would make his defeat less...well it would soften the blow to say the least.

In any other sphere of sport the man would be deemed an idiot. His manner, the stupidity of his questions, the fact that he can ignore what is happening before him. Why does he exist ?

[SweetPea]

It is Jim carnival barker Lampley after all. The guy makes up shit as he goes..

Exactly. Lampley has become a circus act at this point. It's too bad, because at one time he was a great announcer. But those days are long gone.

[Beanflicker]

When he decides to get on a fighter's d***, he really rides it long and hard.
