What is the most stupid thing you've heard a boxing commentator/pundit say?

George has a million of em.

"Oscar De La Hoya ... shoulders like a heavyweight. You get in the ring, see them shoulders walkin' at ya" ...

"nobody can beat Oscar when he's on his toes."

"Hopkins is doing something really stupid by following a power puncher like Trinidad around." These are off the top of my head, probably misquoted.

 

Jim Lampley say dumb **** every fight and miss every call

 

Lol. I swear man, love the guy but he's about as bright as a box of rocks.

 

"If Vitali becomes old over night, slips, breaks his leg and Chisora lands a lucky punch he might have a chance" - Haye summing up Chisora´s chances of beating Vitali

 

harold letterman: JIM!!! I GOTTA TELL YA!!!....(each and every f**cking fight:verysad)

 

'OK Jim , Ive got Hatton two rounds up going into the 8th, Floyd is going to need to do something different'.

When in reality Floyd was landing at about 35% and Hatton around 18%.

" Look its Jay Z, my new best friend, I'm hip." - Lampley

 

It must be something Ronald Mcintosh said in the olympics just gone, he often came out with dreadful catchprases, and labeled Audley Harrison a great lol.

In terms of professional boxing, it must be something one of the HBO team said.

 

Thats up there with some of the more stupid **** he has come out with.

 

"This is for the WBO Heavyweight Championship of the World, previously held by Wladimir Klitschko" (3 to 4 times)

Eurosport commentator about the WBO European Championship bout between Ondrej Pala and Darnell Wilson.

 

He's broke his leg!

 

It was actually Larry "Vodkabreath" Merchant who said this in the Jones Jnr. vs. John Ruiz bout.

He said: "One of the good things that's happening in here, we'll probably never have to see Norman Stone again". Lampley just replied with a "Yeah".

At the 2m45s mark.

One of the most stupid things that I can remember is German HW boxer Axel Schulz, acting as "expert analyst" in 2010 for SAT1 during a Felix Sturm bout. He was asked how he would rank Felix Sturm p4p. He replied:
"On my p4p list, Wlad K. is #1, Vit K. is #2, but Felix is right at the #3 spot."

I was like "WTF?!".

 

"When you beat a legend, you become a legend!"

- From the Danny Green v Roy Jones fight (2009). This is typical Green nut-hugging commentry.
