Who do you guys think is/was the best commentator alongside Tompkins/Lampley/Papa and Merchant/Kellerman The only 5 I am aware of are Clancy, Foreman, Jones Jr, Steward and Lewis so who's your favourite?
Personally, I liked Roy Jones Jr.'s breakdowns & analysis better than most. (I'll add Ray Leonard, Once you get over the 2 second pause effect in his delivery)
Jones was good....he would actually say things before they happen! When you can work out what he is saying he breaks it down better than anyone!
In guess the authors omission of Max Kellerman from the multiple choice category was a simple oversight, right?
No, I said in the OP that I wasn't on about the guy who played the Lampley or Merchant/Kellerman role :good
Roy Jones was probably the best I heard. He seemed to know exactly what both boxers were going through Steward is ok as well though
3 people actually voted for Lennox Lewis? :rofl The question asked for "expert" analysis not "caveman" analysis.
Roy was good. Plus he has a funny accent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDrFQtbM2rc Counter right hand :rasta
Steward imo. Don't know about clancy Lewis isn't a confident talker and it shows. Foreman is just plain nuts, he talks complete bollocks jones while inciteful is an arrogant **** "ooh he did a Roy Jones punch there"-**** off! Mind you, I'd take any combination of the above if it meant getting rid of Lampley.
I liked Big George. The rest of these guys irritate me, but not more than Larry Merchant does. In my opinion, HBO has done a terrible job putting quality guys with Jim Lampley.
George was way too biased sometimes. Pissed me off in the Hopkins-Trinidad fight. Steward is a good commentator, but too stoned or something.. not enough energy. The only time I've heard him getting excited was Toney-Jirov.
Yes! Big George loved him some De La Hoya. I believe he and Merchant would argue on who gets to swallow. Well maybe Merchant will pass if he can get Wlad's.
