    This could get really ****ing interesting. When it comes to being a ***** in post-fight interviews, Gray is the p4p GOAT. How long before we have a "Jim Gray don't know **** about boxing. SHOWTIME need to fire your ass!"?

    Jim Gray is simply a cold-blooded dick. I think Floyd will respect that.

    Jim Gray is terrible. So is Max Kellerman(in his interviews). But Jim Gray just makes me wanna cancel my subsciption to Showtime. They make 80 year old Merchant look like a genius...he was a boss back in his day.

    This what happened the last time Jim Grey interviewed pugilist specialist from Michigan with a big chip on his shoulder;

    This is gold. Hopefully Mayweather and Gray can have a similar incident.

    Mayweather will fly off the handle. I like to see journalists ask hard questions after a fight, but Gray's outright disrespect is upseting.

    No, it's the opposite. He's an exceedingly disrespectful *****, and he can't hide it.

    And please note that like a true professional, Jim Gray simply went on about his business of conducting the next interview. You didn't see Gray purposefully antagonizing Toney or trying to make whatever conflict he had with Toney into the storyline.

    This is why Mayweather won't have any problems with Gray.

    I guarantee this won't happen. Best believe everyone at Showtime has already got the memo telling them to suck the cash cows dick whenever possible.

    I saw Mayweather get into it with Max Kellerman when Kellerman came out him with a seemingly professional and non threatening line of questioning. Mayweather has a big time chip on his shoulder. He is very much of aware of the criticism that surrounds him. It's not a stretch to predict that he'll interpret a reasonable question from Gray the wrong way, just like Toney did.

    After which fight? Because alot of folks around here believe Kellerman is just a Mayweather fanboy (I diasagree).

    I remember Tszyu telling Jim Gray not to be rude to him, that was a crack up...
