For instance, Joe O’Neill of Bleacher Report even wrote an opinion piece titled ‘Is Max Kellerman The Worst Boxing Commentator on Television?‘

“I’m stuck with Mighty Max and his high-pitched nasal nonsensical commentary. I suppose I can always hit the mute button,” said the Bleacher Report writer.
