    These 3 guys deserve to be analysts again! Last I heard, the unemployed Lampley signed a contract to triller for the Vitor Belfort Evander Holyfield fight. Apparently he was down until they told him trump would be there. He hung up the phone immediately. He never showed up lol. Then you have teddy atlas one of the most colorful personality s in boxing to track down his demise... It was when he overdid his commentary job and told the viewers that pacman really beat Jeff horn. The networks never forgave him for that. Then you have Paulie Malignaggi, if not thee best boxing commentator who unlike teddy, I'm not sure when he overstepped his boundaries. Anyways they had to silence the man and cancel him.

    Why doesn't one of the rich promoters buy these guys back and build there own league? Ffs Hearn, Warren, Murad Mohammed, Goosen tutor productions, Al Haymon, DiBella, Sean Gibbons, mp promotions, Leonard Ellerbe... These guys ALL have money. Why not pick up these promotional free agents and BRING Them back to commentary!!!

    Lampley isnt unemployed.
    After HBO Boxing ended he went back to his okd college in North Carolina as a teacher.
    I think he refused Triller because he was ignorant on the true level of circus it is.
    Teddy is rightfully doen on boxing now.
    Paulie I could do without but I liked the other 2.
    Thing is they are up there in age.

    It is a shame that a great analyst like Paulie can't get a gig when you have Sergio Mora calling.

    Paulie is the best of the bunch and should have a job.

    Teddy Atlas has turned his boxing podcast into a UFC podcast.

    I've seen Paulie on quite a few new videos and some telecasts lately; I don't think he is going hungry.
    Teddy has a podcast that's very interesting and does a lot of MMA reviews.

    I always wonder what Sean "The Champ" O'Grady is doing now, he was great on fights back in the day.

    Lampley can retire as far as I'm concerned.

    I remember O'Grady on Teusday night fights. Very good commentator. The good old days.

    It took me a while to realize how indispensable Paulie was. His absence is really felt. Lampley had great moments in great fights but I'm not sure he's the commentary savior he's sometimes made out to be. Teddy has a high cringe factor but I wouldn't mind him being mixed back in.

    Paulie is about the only commentator I like to listen too. Weird because I hated him as a fighter. Would love to see him back.

    He's the only one who is still relevant. The other two are yesterday's news.

    Yep I used to like Teddy and enjoy his pod cast in the beginning but he has become unlistenable and far too negative about boxing he was good on Friday night fights back in the day but now is just a annoying negative old grump and most his compliments to fighters and trainers are back handed.
