GGG makes Max weak in the knees

[Gandalf]

HBO is so, so lame these days. Larry Merchant was the only one I enjoyed listening to and he is long gone now. They need a face lift there as they have become too settled and comfortable. Lampley doesn't seem to be watching the fights anymore and Kellerman has never appealed to me with his fanboy ways. I think the best voice/analysis I hear out of all the boxing networks is Malignaggi. He doesn't tow any lines and says what he thinks and I find myself agreeing with him much of the time. He is quick, lucid and interesting.

I think this is fantastic.
The fact that HBO seem to love GGG is wonderful.

With the networks backing GGG will get the big fights.
He could land Quillen, Cotto, Soliman, Sturm...
All the name fights could happen with HBO backing.

Imagine the fights that could have been if other avoided fighters had captured TV's imagination.

Excellent point and you are right, but Max is still irritating at times. Other than going overboard when he talks about his favorites, Max is OK.

Definitely agreed; I quite liked the Kermit the frog moniker

Yes I'd much rather have HBO championing GGG than Chavez Jr.

They were for a while and still do some, but GGG has been fighting more often and winning in impression fashion hence he's been getting the hype.

"GGG makes Max weak in the knees" Seems to have that effect on his opponents as well

We disagree about Merchant, but both like Paulie. I guess great minds don't always think alike, correct? lol
