i miss big george foreman as the hbo commentator

best commentator by far.always on point with the fighters perspectives:boxing:

George was the most likable and had the best personality of any of the boxer commentators. His insight was resourceful too. So many of them want to talk about themselfs all the time, George just had fun.

I think they are going to bring him back and give larry the boot now that lennox is leaving I think both Foreman and RJJ will be back or they may take a crack on BHOP he would be a great commentator!

For this reason alone they need to hire Foreman, He can take on 4 thugs at one time!

george is a veteran of the game he probably is about 20 years older then roy. roy was not even born when george was learning about boxing

George Foreman is the King of Boxing. End of :boxing:

i think sugar ray leonard had some good analysis back in the 80s when he was commentating he told ppl how to beat mike tyson and i guess no one heard him he told all the keys on how to beat ppl but i guess no one took his advice but george is still the man.

he was hit in the head to many times he makes some of the dumbest commentary IMO i rather like Roy Jones Jr.

So who is a good commentatator to you then? The Showtime crew? Lampley, Merchant and anyone not named George Foreman.

I love george on HBO of all the sport shows I watch George is one of the best commentators around. Its not his knowledge or anything its just his attitude is awesome.

He is a great boxer don't get me wrong but as a commentator he's awful. When he retred HBO was extatic about having someone as colorful and accomplished boxer in the booth. He definitely didn't bring his greatness with him in the booth and he seems to say some stupid shit when the cameras are on. Roy does say some BS but in between it he does throw out some good boxing info. During fights Roy brekas down fights better and give good analysis. George usually says the same lines over and over again and most of the time that info. is bad.

i dunno who was better big george foreman or sugar ray leonard GODDAYUUUUUUUUUUM! Is that you in ta avatar? You tryin to get that 50 cent look huh? It's kinda werkin a bit, but you look like a fuckin toy/action figure or sum shyt. Keep on drinkin them roids brah!

He doesn't make sense, he doesn't call fights right and he also contradicts himself alot. He's supposed to bring boxing expertise and 1st hand knowledge to the crew but he doesn't know half of what Roy knows.

i dunno who was better big george foreman or sugar ray leonard Big George and Ray Leonard are probably the 2 worst commentators. Shit, I think Jermaine Taylor would be a better then George.

i dunno who was better big george foreman or sugar ray leonard

I thought i would miss him too but RJJ has been relatively good. He did a sucky job at it when he was still boxing but then he got more into the fights and i like how he corrects merchant on the spot sometimes lol.

although big george is a lil biased and punchy at times cuz he tells advice that makes no sense, but he IS a BETTER commentator than roy jones...he is more entertaining...it seems like roy is more focused on sounding kool rather than commentating...o well RJ is still fine but not as kool as Big George I completely agree. When RJJ is a commentator, all he ever does is basically say how the guys in the ring AREN'T him, he throws in some actually insightful points sometimes, but for the most part, he uses that position to be on TV without having to get hit for it. Roy is all about roy, which is fine it's a free country and all, but he's not a good commentator and I hate having a fight be spoiled by his jibba jabba. Plus that damn fat lip flaps around so much it's like his mouth is having a seizure.

NEWSFLASH!! George still does the commentating. the peter fight was the first time he came back. he's been gone for a while. and showtime is boring ass hell i can tell u the reasons why. the lighting is terrible in the arenas its to dark i know there trying to be smart and concentrate on the fighters and block out the audience but that makes the fight alittle boring for instance hbo has excellent lighting u can see the crowd good especially if theres celebs in the audience u can see there reaction plus its more alive.and the commentators r extremley boring they dont bring the fights to life. even when tyson was fighting on showtime it jus wasnt the same as hbo

Rjj Is Good 2 They Should Take Away Merchant And Leave Big George Take away Merchant? I don't think I would watch HBO boxing and pay as much attention to the commentating without Larry Merchant.
