I miss lampley, Jones commentating prime GGG fights 2013-2016. I still live in the past and miss GGG days. Canelo ducked GGG 2015-2016 aged him out. He would never beat GGG in 2015.
That's why they should change boxing structures. They should make it kinda like other sports where every year the current champion doesn't pick and choose who he wants. Make the champion fight the boxer who has earned the right to face the champion. Champions at any sport shouldn't choose who they fight.
@@Lemon-rk9hq Use common sense. GGG was better in 2015 than 2017. He lost that "snap" in his counter hooks,reason he abandoned his big body shots. Canelo was better in 2017 then 2015. If GGG beat canelo the first time, and second on my card almost at 37 (He won the last 4 rounds on my card for a fantastic comeback no one considers,hurts canelo in the 10th.) then commons sense dictates the 2015 version would have won 8 rounds.Those versions of GGG and his victory of that canelo in 2015, would be akin to the Bivol win over canelo. Probably a duplicate styled win in the same manner as Bivol, Back him up and land more combinations as a younger version of himself. IN sports, look up the stats on individuals.All sports greats decline slightly beginning around 34-36. Canelo aged him and bitched out for two years before signing after witnessing GGG's confimed beginning of his decline in the jacobs fight, no doubt was the start of his decline to everyone. 2014 G version would stop Jacobs in the 5th round after that knockdown.Or catch him late when Jacobs began toe to toe a few times. Young version of GGG would never let jacobs off the hook in those exchanges.
Born in 79 and English, you had to be a true hardworking hardcore fan to stay up until 2am every weekend sometimes, HBO is madly missed by true boxing fans. Jim was a mastermind when backed by Roy Jones Jr during shows, the perfect duo. I miss HBO, damn I'm talking many many years of flat out enjoyment.
@@ChadPayne1 That’s what I meant thank you for being a genius. I recommend you look up the definition to understand if you can why, I didn’t add commentary.
Just hearing his voice reminds me of kid me, watching boxing with my father growing up. Those oscar de la hoya fight nights.. Man. Such great memories. Imma call my dad now. 😅❤
Excellent interview. Good questions, and as always, Lampley.., eloquent and elegant. Yeah, the old HBO days with him, Larry Merchant, RJ jr, and, of course, my buddy, Big George.., oh.., and Harold Lederman (!!!), by miles, the best commentating crew ever..!
God I miss those days. I even cane to love Max Kellerman and his sparky ways. They can bring back old sitcom stars but not this classic combo!?! Boxing needs them so much!
Maybe. Then again wrong weight class and we already saw 174 is too heavy for Canelo to fight effectively at. So it's a mute point. A 175 pound guy who balloons to 200 pounds on fight night potentially beating a168 pound man who measures 5'8" isn't something to brag about bro.
@@Donaldthefelontrumpwelp, Bivol did issue a challenge to Canelo at 168 for all the belts, and Canelo ducked! So the reason why Canelo wants to move up to 175 so he can continue to hold the belts at 168 hostage. So let’s not use big as a defense for Canelo, he’s a duck and don’t want to put his belts on the line, that’s why he wants to go up… stop the cap!
Nah triple ggg gave him all he can and still couldn’t fucking do it. Artur would also feel canelos shots and will not fight as he usual self. It can go both ways
I thought before the fight berlanga had no chance, just not enough experience, maybe not enough skills. I was right on the experience, maybe half right on the skills. Berlanga showed a chin and heart, and he fought until the 12th. Where does canelo go from here? Maybe bud who really is too small but i haven’t seen bud tested. I wouldn’t mind seeing bud be tested by anyone, including canelo. Even madrimov using feints and defense all night, kept bud’s hands quiet just wasn’t a real threat. Canelo won’t fight benavidez. Tank, i hope he does fight teo. Missed jim calling fights.
I wouldn’t say Benavidez is a “remarkable power puncher,” as we saw at 175 he couldn’t dent a semi retired Gvozdyk. He’s just the biggest at 168 since Zurdo and Callum Smith with a come forward style. That’s why Benavidez was able to beat sub par prospects
Why's that ? Because he went the distance . So did Rider , Munguia , and Charlo . He should've knocked this bum out . Canelo's days are numbered as the so called face of boxing
The amount of hype Benavidez is getting, you'd think he beat Bivol, Beterbiev, mike tyson, and Ali. Man couldnt even finish Canelo's leftovers in Plant.
Jim has never been delusional. He knows the game and knows what he sees. Never been around the bush and says it how it is. If you have. A different opinion , I’ll take his over yours. Not because I’m biased but it’s because it’s all facts
He doesn’t need to fight that dude to prove anything. If he does he just proves he’s the real legend he already is. 20 years pro buddy that’s a long time.
@@hiphopalkatrazman stop with the excuses .. sad how u fans are just so happy with these cherry 🍒 picked fights! Canelo needs to retire as a Duck 🦆 plain and simple
Benavides got to earn his spot whining and complaining is not the way . The old way you put everything down till they notice you no not your family but the promoters. If it takes fighting nobodies and earn not much but you beat everybody then you’ll get the chance
I hate when Canelo gets disrespected. What else do you from him….everybody wants Canelo…you guys ragged him to take on Charlo and Andrade calling Canelo a duck ……and what happened to those guys …..it’s was only a Fng payday for him like he said. He froze Charlo which was a disgusting for a boxer to sit there running around just to get paid….Andrade well he didn’t even get to Canelo ….another bum with smoke screen looking for a payday…..now Benavides is no fraud like the two u mentioned …..but cmon…everyone he fights going we beyond his weight parameters and still get no respect….fkng Stank is worried over 5 pounds…..and fought frank martin who was hyped up big time….
Agree to disagree. Cuba is great for boxing. But... the Lara fight was so bad it seemed an exhibition... they both should retire. No way that was a world title fight.
Clownelo needs to fight Benavidez, its ridiculous that he is allowed to pick and choose like this. Picking the opponents with little chance and even less experience
Jim Lampley smoking crack. IDGAF about Benavides. His last fight really showed he's just a bully with using his size. That he docent have anymore. Id rather see a Canelo Bivol or Plant.
@@luisjnicho. Name one of the first 16 fighters he faced? Why do y’all always do this silly stuff? If you’re a boxing fan you know the kind of opposition they give certain fighters to boost their confidence! The first 16 fighters weren’t that good, o hopers fighting to keep the lights on bro. These guys had losing records. Give me the name of a top proven fighter HIS SIZE he stopped.
@@luisjnichoyou don’t need remarkable power to knockout ill prepared fighters that are just trying to keep the lights on. Last not go left with this. All I said was he never had remarkable power. David’s never been a one hitter quitter type. He wears his smaller or older opponents down before stopping them.
Love Jim, always have….but Benavidez DOES NOT have remarkable power, in my opinion. He wears much smaller opponents down with his weight and overwhelming punch output. Really good boxers who are his size aren’t fazed by his power
There’s no have a chance you guys are talking about him like he’s a machine bro. He’s a human. I’m gonna tell you he was gonna beat him. He’s gonna get older and as he gets older, I feel bad for him because he’s going to become food for everyone that he slaughtered to get to the top if you guys love her so much and y’all are so smart. Tell him to get out the sport now he’s wasting his time
There’s no difference between those two fighters like people talk shit about benabire Wah. He got two butterflies in Balanga. That’s all he got same shit

George Foreman was way better as an HBO commentator than Roy Jones. Foreman and Lampley was the best combo.
@@courthogan3140 he was good also everyone has a preference

Sounds like what I say about the ufc. Check out Tom Aspinall from England if you're interested in striking with finishes.
Bring Jim Lampley back !! Miss his commentary
Yup me two
I agree the showtime announcer are annoying. Jim Lampley is a legend
Why? He didn’t know S.
Jim, thank you for many years @ HBO. You are one of the reasons I am a boxing fan. 😊

Always respect his opinion, even when I disagree.

Let’s see Benavides vs Berlanga to see if Benavides has the tools to fight Canelo.
Be great Jim would call fights again he really had great wording for each boxer and respect regardless their level !
That’s a lie
Legendary man
Well said and honest.
I like Jim lampley speaks very well. Very experience commentator.

“There you go”
Canelo doesn't want anything to do with Benavides. 🦆🐔🦆
nope.......he doesn't want Benavides smoke at all!😂
Who?
Not even BOXING fans, NUMBERS don't lie .😢
Canelo is going to make Benavidez wait his turn. Benavidez needs to take risks and fight Bivol.

Great fighters have always fought lesser talented fighters, BUT, now is the time for Canelo to shut the critics and fight Benavidez…..enough already!
Come on Jim.... Rematch with Plant rather than Bud.... Come on man.
Bud will definitely do better than Charlo. Look at what Lara did to Canelo.
Damn, I remember when Jim looked young and had dark hair.

Why would the interviewer not mention Benavidez?
Good 2 see Jim after all these years on ABC. Hair completely turned white
