Jim Lampley is the voice of boxing. It’s not a proclamation that you will hear the recently minted hall of famer state publicly or privately, but if you speak to anyone in or around the sport, the most informed will tell you Lampley is this generation’s Don Dunphy.
Lampley has simply become the standard of boxing blow-by-blow announcers, a man whose hall of fame induction in June was about 15 years overdue. Again, it’s nothing you would hear from him.
