Best commentator HBO ever had.
They better not hire Bhop to replace Lennox. I will stop watching HBO if they put that fraud in the booth.
Foreman always seemed to me to be consciously acting to the cameras. I particularly recall a Klitschko fight, when Larry Merchant uttered his most famous "saying"........"He's so perfect, I wonder what's wrong with him'...... And I think that in Foreman's blurb he looked at the camera with that round-eyed ingenuous stare, talking about Klitschko, and saying "well, he's big enough".
As if this was his expert opinion of Klitschko's worth and expertise. This was equally as stupid as anything Lennox Lewis had ever said, and believe me, he'd said plenty!!
Foreman was funny ....he was completely biased in a lot of cases and he would argue shit that wasn't even close to true, but it was comical. Like someone mentioned, the Hopkins/Trinidad fight is a good example.
George is better than anyone else I can think of for the job. I also enjoyed listening to Roy, I wish Roy would take the job so he wont keep getting himself beat up.
Anyone know the story behind him leaving in the first place?
Did he want too much money or did that geezer Larry have him fired?Nah, his schedule was so overloaded with him commentating and promoting his grill at the time. He also wasn't seeing his family much. That's why he left HBO.

Before i read "commentator, i thought you meant the grill...:lol1:l. Yeah, he was ok, but he kinda bugged me with that constant smiling and looking at the camera. I like Tarver and Jones commenting. Lewis always talks about himself and gets on my nerves...:grumble:.
good ole hamburger mouth. i'd prefer someone like raul marquez. i know he's got his boxeo thing, but i think he's more eloquent and insightful than brain fart lennox and hamburger mouth.
roy's cool, but i dont wanna know what he sounds like right now.
I highly doubt they will bring back George although his exchanges with Lampley were hilarious at times especially in the trinidad hopkins fight where Hopkins was looking good and Lampley said hopkins isn't showing signs of tiredness at all and then in jumped George claiming there will plenty of signs even though there wasn't lol
