Howard Letterman
Best there is IMO. Are scorecards usually mesh and I normally agree with whatever comments he makes.
Jim Lampley
I don't have any problem with Lampley. I think he adds some exitement to the fight with his voice, like in the Gatti Ward fight. He doesn't try to hard, and mostly just calls the action and defers to the other commentators for analysis.
Larry Merchant
I like Larry. Alot of times when other commentators are talking nonsense he is not afraid to call them on it, or at least argue his position. I remember Emmanuel Steward pissing me off with his commentary in the first Shane Mosley Fernando Vargas fight by berating Shane. Shane's punches were having no effect, Shane was too tight, Fernando was more effective etc. And finally Larry Merchant was like look that eye isn't closing for no reason and neither fighter has hurt the other, etc. Sometimes are scorecards don't mesh though.
George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Emmanuel Steward
Their decent but sometimes they say some things that make absolutely no sense. Lewis can also get overhyped sometimes. I remember in the Edison Miranda vs. Allan Green fight when Allan Green went down. And Lennox is screaming he won't make it to his feet!! And Allan Green was already getting back up and the other commentators were like he'll make it and Lennox is like NO!!!
Teddy Atlas
Good commentator. But he has a tendency to go off on these long stories that can last the entire round. Also when he has a point to make your going to agree because he'll keep asking you the same question until you do. Like if he wants to say someone is effective with the right hand and he asked another commentator Don't you think the right hand is his most effective weapon."? If the commentator doesn't agree he'll just ask it differently until he gets the answer he wants.
Max Kellerman
From the fights I have heard him do commentary on I don't have any problems with him.
