I could barely listen to him - every damn time there is an opportunity, he talks about something that's happening in the fight that pertains to his career or his legacy. If a fighter is cut, he seems to reference his fight with Klitschko and how great fighter A or B is for opening a cut on their opponent. Then he proceeds to talk about how Vitali needs to knock people out more often, when Vitali has a MUCH higher KO% than Lewis did. Lewis is biased and most of the crap he says is solely to make himself look good. I can't listen to his BS anymore - HBO should get rid of him.
you're a fucking idiot, Foreman was 10x better than Lewis dumb ass talking.
I agree, Foreman was a great commentator, his Tito nuthuggery in the Hopkins fight was a bit much though. As for Lennos Lewis his commentaing is at best damn dreadful.
I agree.
Lewis was not being fair to Vitali last night. And Lennox seems to have a low IQ and his use of the English language is rather childlike, so I think HBO should replace him.
I thought Bob Papa did a better job, and even Max Kellerman gave Vitali some credit.
lewis > vitali
thats a fact,well actually its an opinion,shared by anybody with good boxing knowledge
thats probably because you were a fan of tyson who lewis beat the **** down. also you have foreman as your avatar the worst announcer in sports history bar none. eat a fat dik
you're a fucking idiot, Foreman was 10x better than Lewis dumb ass talking.
Lennox's commentary is pure awesomeness.
Lampley: "He looked a little better in that last round, what do you think he did differently?"
Lennox: "Well he was trying to land punches Jim, this was something I often tried doing in my fights."
Straight to the point nothing wrong with that. :lol1:
They should give Benard Hopkins a shot... I bet he would be very good, I know he does commentary for GBP shows
I wouldn’t argue it considering B-Hop likes to talk but I hear Shannon Briggs was also good when he did it for ESPN.
Peace.
George Foreman was the best commentator and I think they should dish out the extra bucks to get him back.
While Lennox isnt the most colorful talker in the world, what he says is always true. He pizza-faced Quitali and defeated every opponent he ever went up against.
I still prefer Lennox commentating over George Foreman, I really couldn’t get in to George.
Peace.

lennox lewis ****ing sucks, how in the hell did he get a commentating job. They need a pernell whitaker or bernard hopkins type of character to be a commentator not lennox
Would love to hear Bhop as a commentator. Great idea.

:You_Rock_: Absolutely fkking right. Green K for this thread! He was a great champ, but he's a pompous ass. They totally should offer his job to RJJ or even bringing back Big George would be better than this shit.

i like Showtimes commentators better. They tend to stick right to the subject at hand, they don't go into diatribes about their comments, and keep it focused pretty much right on the fight and get the facts right. They keep it simple and don't do like you say, DDeg.
I like Tarver, though. He's cool. Keeps it real, And isn't a braggart or concieted. I like commentators who are or used to be great boxers, like RoyJJ, or Tarver.
