Larry Merchant isn't afraid to ask the tough questions, but he doesn't act like a jerk when he does it.
Gray has no couth at all
i didn't see him as being an asshole at all while interviewing Froch, IMO Froch was being a smug little fucker and ignorant as hell saying "listen to the people, even they say i won", he actually said that while being in his hometown of Nottingham, and Gray followed it up with an obvious truth "of course they're gonna say you won, they're YOUR PEOPLE", Merchant thrashes people who don't deserve to be, and then goes on trying to be so deep with his last thought of the night that unless you're smoking crystal meth you wont even know what he's talking about 9 times out of 10
Larry Merchant frequently acts like a jerk. I'm no Jim Gray fan, but in the interview with Froch he got it just right.
Merchant can be controlled as well, he's basically sucked up to Oscar ever since the thing before the Whitaker fight.
In terms of who I like out of those guys, it would have to be in order
Farhood
Bernstein
Kellerman
Merchant
To be honest Merchant is the only one who pisses me off because a lot of the time he seems to think he's more important than the fighters or fight.
Still, at least none of them are Steve Bunce.
I generally prefer Showtime's coverage, no matter what it is the most balanced out there, they never cheerlead for a fighter, unlike Lampley or pretty much all British media coverage
