Would you support Sugar Ray Leonard on HBO?

I went with "it's a good move", but there are other options that could also be a good move (i.e. Naazim, Tyson, and possibly a few others).

Leonard was awful BITD. Tarver>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Leonard. Why not consider Bobby Czyz? He was always insightful and is a MENSA member. Or perhaps our own John Scully? Are you kidding? Czyz was worse than Leonard. Besides his bias he constantly had to remind the veiwing audience that fighters should hit their opponents "on top of the head " like he did to Andrew Maynard . Aside from that he had a serious drinking problem. That doesn't look good on a resume. John Scully would be good though.

Lets get mutha****in Roger Mayweather. Do you really want to see caption at the bottom of every fight he commentates?

Leonard is a student of the game, I wouldn't mind hearing input again.

Leonard just doesn't have it. The pre-knocked out version of Roy Jones was very entertaining but his mind is scrambled now so forget it. Mike Tyson is uncomfortable in his own skin. Freddie is over-extended. A younger version of Larry Merchant would be good.

I didn't think Leonard was that bad, that was back when Leonard was still in the game though and was still doing his image thing. I think he would do a bit better now but watching some of those fight I had no issue with him. I didn't mind Lennox though either~

No, Roach doesn't "know Boxing better than anybody else ". You overrate him when you say that. A lot of people do. You're right, I should have phrased that "Roach knows a lot more about training boxers, and fight strategy than Leonard". I think without a doubt Roach is one of the best trainers that ever lived.

lmao it's a third man? damn then thats not even essencial but i would rather it's a fighter who knows there shit and been in brawls i think ray is a good fit although i dont watch boxing all the time so i wouldnt knoe about his performance in the late 80s on hbo

You know SRL was a failure the first time right? Articulate or not, the guy knows boxing better than anyone else, and if he's being considered, then that says he has a better shot at it than you think.

Do your thing ray!

I don't get it, are these guys essential to boxing commentary? Not really, I could do without the third man.

Yeah because Roach is so articulate and proven right? You're an idiot. You know SRL was a failure the first time right? Articulate or not, the guy knows boxing better than anyone else, and if he's being considered, then that says he has a better shot at it than you think.

Roach would be better, SRL failed miserably the first time around. Yeah because Roach is so articulate and proven right? You're an idiot.

I want Tyson to take over for Lennox Lewis.. that would be awesome! :boxing:

wasn't he commentating on HBO boxing in the early 90's? I believe it was late 80's, but he didn't last very long.

If it's not official, it shouldn't say official.
