    Yeah, you're right about that one, but they usually have someone like Byrd on Toney on to correct them. Either way, those guys crack me up, and their ignorance is not offensive becaus they lack the arrogance of a Bert Sugar/Teddy Atlas/Max Kellerman/Larry Merchant.

    Kellerman is generally biased in favor of the US figther over the foreign fighter; and when both fighters are from the US, he is biased in favor of the East Coast fighter. Lately, though, he seems to be improving. He also seems to be toning-down his commentary on BAD, so he may be aware of what people are saying about him.

    Johnny Nelson, Frank Warren (who is understandably biased), Burt Sugar and Steve Bunce. Gary Mason was also a bit useless as a pundit.

    thats my main problem with him and a lot of fans of today
    lampley pisses me off when he gets overexcited over nothing he creamed his pants everytime taylor threw a combo against hopkins he always seems to have an agenda to hype specific fighters when he commentates
    howard ledderman should just retire his scorecards 9 times out of 10 are just plain wrong im surprised HBO havent called him up on this

    Max Kellerman: Hard to listen to, and with those ears, even harder to look at.

    Wally Matthews: Annoying, pendantic, twit.

    I'll do it for him: He talks bollocks.
    He's not my pick though, that's Kellerman who talks a lot mor bollocks than Foreman, next in line is Jim "I don't know when to shut up/that was a great punch even though it missed" Lampley.
