    Yeah Jim Lampley's voice is always filled enthusiasm and life and despite what others may believe I don't think he's that biased. He's the best commentator in boxing.

    Yeah like his energy, it will be somewhat strange to not have Lampley calling the fight.

    Yes!

    Paulie has grown on me, too.

    I don't care for Jim Gray at all, though. Especially since he's in full on sycophant mode for Floyd.

    Al calling his debut

    Al interviewing him post fight at 8:02

    Greg Papa doing play by play and Kenny Bayless the ref. Cool to see.

    Al called a few of Floyd's early fights that were on ESPN.

    Can't say that I am. Up until now, Showtime just doesn't have that "big fight atmosphere" that hbo had developed. Maybe Mayweather can bring that feeling to sho.

    Also not to fond of the mma guy. He tries too hard. The other sho announcers are just 'meh, imo.

    :good

    Haven't heard that Celly Cel song in ages

    If I'm not mistaken, Diego Corrales fought on the same card.
