he lost every other round

Worst commentator of the year : Max Kellerman would be my vote . he comes off as such an arrogant asshole in my opinion. " when he was quoted as saying " The Heavyweight division has never been better", right before the Timor - Calvin Brock fight, I couldn’t stop laughing. ! his voice and attitude get on my nerve .

[El Gamo]

Max Kellerman is an AWFUL commentator!! Really bad, and he hypes things too much and makes lots of mistakes...

Agreed ! Kellerman is often confrontational with the other announcers , which makes for a horrible watch for the fan. A good commentator should help out his stumbling counter part, not try to make him look like an idiot. Know what I mean. ?

Lampley does a fantastic job of doing just that, he can bring an awkward moment to a swift resolution... he really helped George Foreman out alot Cool Click #1220

I give Lennox a bit of break cause he is a fighter first, Lewis is learning on the job. what Lennox needs to do to improve himself is educate himself on the fighters fighting on the card , he needs to watch fighter tapes , rather then get the information force fed to him from the wagon. lots of times he knows nothing about the fighters fighting on the card, which is simply not doing your homework and leaves him with that blank look on his face, while information is being relayed to him from the truck .

That makes me think he is an even worse commentator as he is not doing his job and analysing the fighters beforehand first and second,with his knowledge,you'd think he would come out with more intelligent comments than he does!

I think I like RJJ much much much more!

I agree ! RJJ did a fantastic job... also liked George Foreman,, he would make me laugh alot of the times.

[El Gamo]

I liked Foreman sometimes but other times,he came out with nonsense but I think he acknowledged once that he fought to KO people,with not much tactical thought which is why most of his analysis is based around he needs to sit down on his shots,knock the guy out etc etc. One thing though,he was always interesting. I also like Al Bernstein at Showtime and the guy he is usually with,they are cool.

Al Bernstein is top shelf.. great people .. , and an excellent interviewer . he treats a fighter with the proper respect.

Ok

1. Fighter of The Year, Bernard Hopkins for proving the doubters wrong and making history against Tarver, and at 42 years old to boot.

Why all the Pacman mania? All he did was knocked out a guy who was probably more shot than Arturo Gatti. Plus he had knocked him out last year as well. He didn't look so hot against Larios.

2. Fight of the Year. Arthur Abraham vs Edison Miranda. Just brutal, great fight.

3. KO of the year, ok I'll give this to the pacman, it marked a decisive change of the guard in the history of the featherweight divisions.

4. Upset of The Year, Has to be Baldimor vs Judah. Baldimor's rise from obscurity to fame was meteoric. I'm guessing his slide from fame back to obscurity will be meteoric also.

5. Event Of The Year, I'll give this to Pacquiao Morales, the end of an era.

6. Round Of The Year. For comedy value Briggs vs Lyakhovich

7. Comeback Fighter Of the Year, Audley Harrison, I mean we all expected Casmayor and Oscar to win their fights but this was a shock!
