    I'm not arguing their assessment, but rather the fact that they have only started mentioning him now that he is on HBO.

    They did it with Martinez as well. Kellerman, Lampley et al had never once mentioned the guy until he beat up Bunema on HBO and all of a sudden he was the fighter they had long been championing since the beginning of his career and who was now an elite fighter, just as he joins HBO.

    Meanwhile, fighters on Showtime like Andrew Ward and Carl Froch get ignored by them.

    They do have a very HBO-centric approach to boxing I think.

    If Ward ever moves to HBO for certain they will be describing him as one of the biggest talents in boxing and the best all American fighter right now.
    I always find Max annoying and sometimes Roy. They speak their mind freely and I dont always agree with them. I dont think Roy would hype up a fighter to benefit HBO. I also dont think Max would because he is such a fanboy of the sport. I actually thought they gave both Nonito and Montiel the proper respect before and after the fight. I think it was only Roy who claimed to follow Nonitos career early and knew he would be a top p4p fighter.

    In my experience Jones always tends to say silly things. Look at the first Hopkins Taylor fight. He had Hopkins losing like the first 8 rounds, and then said he should have won. Don't know how he scored that in his head...
