    Am I the only one that cant stand these ****ing annoying pricks. Both have never boxed in their lives and are pompous assholes. Lampley especially I would love to work over with a 2x4 stuck with nails.

    Half the time I end up switching to HBO spanish to avoid hearing them, but then on PPVs I have no ****ing choice :twisted:

    co-sign

    although merchants post-fight interviews can be amusing if he riles the fighter.....

    As bad as they can be sometimes. They are still the best broadcast team out there in my opinion.

    Awful. They need to get rid of the two of them and employ Robin Williams and Chris Rock. They know just as little about boxing but they're funny!

    I feel the same way, except about Max Kellerman.

    I like them... sometimes they annoy me but thats just them, i usually like jims energy, and larry cracks me up every time he opens his mouth lol...

    Showtime has a good team though i must say.

    I can get away with Lampley but merchant is a dick. If you watch the pavlik miranda fight you can hear him basically arguing with Lennox Lewis on which strategy both fighters should use. Who would u rather train you. ex, hall of fame Heavyweight legend or Merchant with his erm.........erm......microphone??? lol

    I like them very much, and i think you're way better than for instance the Showtime commentators. Merchant tells it the way he sees it, and Lampley keeps you excited about the fight. Although i'll admit Larry has seen better years.

    Lampley may not be the most objective around but hes simply the best in terms of the actual communication side of broadcasting and getting fans excited about the fight. Merchant looks like hes ready to keel over, i think he needs to go.

    most of the guys that dont like Merchant is cause he probably said something bad about theyre favourite fighter and they got ofended.

    Larry tells it like it is.

    Thats a huge part of it i think. But to be honest, especially to the casual fans that buy the odd PPV but don't really look too much into the sport, i think they are the best.
