    Anyway, I think I can safely say that good/great commentary teams have gone the way of true ATGs.


    I never understood the hate for Ferdie Pacheko? I don't mind Bob Sheridan much either and I also always liked Merchant.

    Totally agree about Big George, he was so obviously biased it wasn't funny. Particularly the Hopkins-Trinidad fight as pointed out earlier. One could tell Foreman was wishing for Tito to land that big shot & turn the fight around and Merchant defended Hopkins well.

    Mark Kreigel the worst, the lame bitter hatter, i just saw him last getting overly emotional over Bradley's hall of fame mention.

    The thing is, those types of scoring sometimes make me wonder if I scored it wrong...

    But when he does it all the time, you know he's just a bad judge. He's the Adelaide Byrd of callers.

    Mathew Macklin for me as he just follows the script put in front of him.

    Never could stand that self righteous, living off Ali Cosell.

    Merchant went over the top to hate on certain fighters. Can't gloss over that.
