That happens more now since you have two guys who think they are experts.. Manny is the real expert and Max thinks he is . Jim is just a guy who moderates. I think Jim Lampley works well with Larry Merchant since he is a similar age and generation. When he and Max worked together a few days ago they seemed out of sorts. I guess Jim and Max are a similar seperation in age than Jim and Larry, but Jim and Larry are more of the old style of broadcasting. Actually the onetime I remember two guys sort of arguing is when Hagler was commentating for Hearns/Roldan in 1987 and he and Gil argued a point during the bout what side Hearns should move from Roldan. Well obviously Hagler knew better since at that point he had fought both of them and knew both guys in the ring.
