    or maybe cause they talk a lot before the fight but in the ring theyre two of the most cautious and boring fighters that ever lived.

    Thank god there aren't too many fighters as boring as Floyd and Hopkins or boxing would lose all its fans to MMA. :D

    He was mad as hell that Mayweather got the decision against Castillo in the first fight. Think it started then.

    Pimp C would rather see a guy that kisses the athlete's ass like Steven A Smith...Sad day for boxing when Larry kicks the bucket or retires, whichever comes first. The guys got balls and he tells it like it is.:good

    Boring is subjective the fact is PBF and Hopkins would rank 2 & 3 behind Jones for best fighters of their era.:deal

    '
    I like the sweet science and can appreciate the subtle things that both PBF and Hopkins do in the ring. It's also what separates them from the pack and why they're ATGs. Too bad you don't have a trained eye like myself to be able to appreciate it. Maybe if you just stopped watching boxing for just toe to toe action and KOs you would be able to pick up on it as well.:good

    Whatever his reason HBO announcers are very biased sometimes. I doubt he's racist though. Maybe its in the script?:kenny :gun

    you can say that Lampley and the others are biased but Larry isnt,the guy tells it like it is thats probably why he has been replaced by that Kellerman.
