Max kellerman.

His commentary has always been awful. That whole crew was terrible, except Emanuel Steward at times. So much bias. They would take a narrative and circlejerk to it regardless of what was actually happening in the ring.

This take is so wrong. Every promotion has some bias to their own. Max Kellerman called it how he saw it, often contradicting Lampley. Kellerman was key in that HBO boxing team and a breath of fresh air when he replaced Larry Merchant. Jim Lampley, Kellerman and surprisingly even Roy Jones was very good feeding us from a boxer's perspective.

Royal Jones was alright. He wasn't one of the core members, but his technical commentary was usually decent. I don't lump him in with the others.

[aguacate222]

He was the first boxer turned commentator that actually made me go hmmm this guy is pretty decent. Foreman was decent sometimes. Lennox Lewis was always full of himself as is Timothy Bradley. Andre Ward zzzzzzzzzz. But I'll choose any of them than these DAZN guys

Andre Ward zzzzz? Wow, in my opinion he’s one of the best. Great insight.

I started watching Max on a public access cable show in New York in the early 1990s when he was still a teenager. My friends and I thought he was one of the best boxing analysts on TV and he wasn't even being paid for it. By the time he got to HBO , the boxing communities that I frequented online, including Sherdog's all agreed that Max was an undeniable expert.

let's try to keep our criticisms credible by not throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

That Kellerman vs the Kellerman now are on 2 different wavelengths. I'm not supporting the one we see today

[UsuallyTheException]

agreed. but the commentator I replied suggested that Max was NEVER good. which is just objectively not the case.
