The poorest broadcasting team you can come up with?

So pick out the well-known boxing broadcasters to come up with the worst line-up imaginable. Pacheco&Lederman with Foreman as a commentator? Steve Albert with Max Kellerman and Sugar Ray commentating? Does it get worse than these?

 

Teddy Atlas and Sugar Ray Leonard

 

I remember watching a fight years ago, can't remember who it was, but Harold Lederman was one of the announcers. He was God awful.

He's annoying enough when he gives his scorecard every few rounds, but to hear him give play by play and describe the action as it happened, that was downright painful.

TFK

 

He announced the Jones-Ruiz undercard for those who didn't order the PPV. I have the tape where he does the commentating with Sugar Ray for Mormeck-Gurov

 

Let's just accept it:

Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant are teh best team in history! :bears:

 

The worst team is Reg Gutteridge and Jim Watt. No THAT'S painful!:doh:

 

It doesnt get much worse than the team Showtime has right now. Albert & Bernstein.:doh: They're soooooooo bad together.

Albert has always sucked, but he sucks even more nowadays than he used to. Bernstein was a good commentator at one point, but that time has came and went. He sucks nowadays. They're so bad together that they make me miss the old team of Albert/Czyz/Pacheco.

 

Barry Tompkins in his prime was a better blow-by-blow man than Lampley IMO.

The best team I can think of would be Tompkins in his prime, the Merchant of the 90's, and RJ.

 

Possibly. If a case can be made for anyone to be better than Lamps, it would be Tompkins.


"That's it, that's all and WE have a new ERA in BOXING!" :bears:

Ah.....the memories.....

 

Scott Ledoux, Fran Charles, and Max Kellerman.

 

Jim Watt = Mr. Dead from the Fast Show

 

Scott Ledoux is funny as hell.

 

Not true to the topic but the poorest team imaginable would be Floyd Snr and "Uncle" Roger?

We wouldn't understand a word they were saying!::

 

I've got it! The WORST team possible! Here it is.....

Nick Charles, Kellerman, and Czyz.

Close this thread cause it cant get any worse than that!

 

May as well add the V-Man Gerald McClellan into the mix.

 

He would see things better than Steve Albert

 

what does this have to do with this thread? :dunno:

 

First you brag up Merchant of the 90's who was probably the biggest prick, no-nothing the sport has seen in such an important position.

Then you cut on Czyz who was one of the most insightful.

Please pretend this thread is closed and never come back.

 

:eeeek:


Xplosive, PLEASE tell the Sly you're just not gonna sit there and let this man clown you like that! Show this dude how they do things were you come from!

opcorn:

 

Max Kellerman,Steve Farhood,Steve Albert!!


Basically,Max Kellerman with the entire Showtime crew!!

Or Max Kellerman with the Fox Sports Net boxing crew!!

 

kevin harlin, tony paige and george foreman. tim smith doing post fight interviews

 

Nah have Tom Joyner do post fight interviews. None's worse than him.

 

Col. Bob Sheridan and Carl King - an actual team (Don King uses them on International feeds for his cards).

 

"John Ruiz... why are you so elusive in the ring?" :laughing:

 

Merchant is always a prick at times, but one thing he DOES get respect for, is that he holds his tongue for none and always speaks his HONEST opinion. Plus he's entertaining.

Czyz is wasnt THE worst commentator, and he seems like a pretty good guy, but lets face it, he was dull as shit!

 

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

 

Merchant is better in the 00's, imo. He at least does his homework now. Back then he didn't have a clue on foreigners. I agree that he doesn't hold his tongue and he is honest. I don't care for him, but if you do, then you do.

Czyz is my favorite announcer. I don't think he's dull. Guys like Farhood and Paige are dull. (Although, I prefer dull to annoying.)

 

Mayweather SR
Kellerman
Teddy Atlas


WHat a cluster of fucks that would be.....

 

That was close to mine. Thinking back on all those Tyson cards in the 90s, I think Colonel Bob Charlatan, Jim Grey, and Marv Albert would be the dream team of shitty boxing coverage. Grey hates boxers, Sheridan is clueless, and Marv Albert...getting arrested for wearing women's lingerie, a toupee, and biting a woman on the back makes for an interesting background dynamic.

I think a dishonourable mention would go to Floyd Mayweather Senior..."BRRRDDDDDDDUUUUUPPPPP!!!!!" :laughing:

Boo to those who say Foreman. Foreman was actually pretty funny with some of the oddball stuff he came up with, and occasionally he would come up with a classic: "Christy Martin is sorta like a Raging Bull...er...well...Raging Cow!" :laughing: :laughing:
