there have been great guys behind the mike. Barry Tompkins works so well with Al Bernstein or with Larry Merchant. Barry is great at starting a topic and then getting feedback.. He does not get involved himself much he hands it over like Steve Nash hands over the ball in an assist. And Lampley is good at that also. Exceptional guys. The biggest idiot who ever had a microphone is Ferdie Pacheco.. Sometimes I would hear stuff he said and wonder what he was watching or what he was saying. I liked him personally, but his commentating was sort of funny. I do not like Teddy Atlas. As much as he knows and all that, I just do not like his commentating. He is ok for one fight, but for a whole PPV card he would be annoying.
