The "Martinez isn't as street tough as Williams" line was kind of iffy. Moving away from Pavlick's right certainly was important.
But than he says stuff like, "The pressure from Paul Williams will eventually get to Martinez" (Williams/Martinez I). It sounded crazy considering the beating Williams was recieving up to that point, but he was right.
And the size of Margarito certainly did have a factor in the Pacquiao fight. If he wasn't that big, he would have certainly got knocked out no later than round 7.
The whole HBO crew say ****** things. I think they get paid to force themselves to make any fighter sound good that HBO is investing in which leads to ****** comments when that fighter isn't doing so well.

I am starting to think the same thing. Lampley was seconds away from getting down on his knees and pulling down Khan's trunks during the Maidana fight.
Steward as a commentator always pretends he knew exactly how the fight was going to play out even though he was blatantly calling it and predicting it differently earlier in the fight.
He never picks a fighter and sticks with it and admits when he gets it wrong, instead he changes his view during the fight according to who's winning and acts like he knew it was going happen all along.
He might well be a great trainer, but he lacks honesty as a co-commentator/analyst.
