    I like Showtime. Al Bernstein has some great commentary.

    Bernstein is good. I actually like RJJ on Hbo. I know some don't care for him much.

    Roy is good, too. Though, sometimes he says some ridiculous things. He's got some very unique insight that I've never seen any commentator (ex-fighters included) be able to nail.

    Al Bernstein and Antonio Tarver, best combo out there right now. Clearly.

    HBO goes over the top sometimes in their comments, I like showtime, Al Bernstein is good, his voice I can actually stand.

    I always loved watching fights on HBO. However, lately they have just been complaining and negative throughout their broadcasts. It's getting old.

    The only networks where you can understand anything is SHO and ESPN.
    SHO wins easy.

    RJJ (HBO) Teddy Atlas (ESPN) are the most inconsistent agenda filled announcers around

    Showtime probably has the most knowledgeable commentators but they also are the most boring too, and a lot of times I get the feeling that the Showtime commentators hold back on how they really feel whereas HBO commentators are willing to speak their mind if some bull**** is being displayed in front of them of some sort.

    I like Showtime. Al Bernstein just seems to love the sport and doesn't tend to make as many over the top comments like HBO. Of course, Gus Johnson tends to detract all of Al and Antonio's good work sometimes.

    Lampley-Steward-Merchant is still my favorite team by far
