There was a post probably two months ago that asked about everyone's favorite commentating team. If i remember correctly, the majority of people HATED Jim Lampley. In my opinion, anyone who thinks Jim Lampley isn't good for boxing commentary is completely off the reservation. He makes fights that much more interesting to me.

Everytime I watch the last round of Corrales vs Castillo when Corrales turned the fight around, I always wonder how much more exciting that moment would've been with Lampley calling the action.

Alot of that had to do with the domestic violence arrest...Jim is a good color commentator

I don't really like or dislike Lampley, but Merchant grows on you like an inoperable tumor and Kellerman gives me the creeps. He should have played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. I would rather have Lewis, Foreman and Jones Jr. commentating

Merchant is a guy that grows on you,,,I think it is the way he puts things at times and then after a while you appreciate his style of bluntness....Max is just annoying because he has to act like a know it all and always try to one up someone

Classic! I will look for that video again to see what exactly they said but Lewis pretty much was not being THAT humble and Merchant made sure he was.

Watching Naseem Hamed getting a boxing lesson by Marco Antonio Barrera. I think Naz took the loss quite well, I was impressed. I wonder how Floyd Mayweather will take it if he looses (if he ever does).

When Larry Merchant was interviewing Floyd Mayweather and Merchant mentioned how the crowd was leaving in the middle of the fight because it was not THAT exciting and Floyd got a bit pissed and tried to get back at Larry.




LOL Larry doesn't care says it like it is
