My wish has come true: Leonard to possibly Replace Lewis on HBO

Good news. SRL is an ATG so let him get the spot.

FYI, SRL tried this already in the 80's and failed miserably. Also for people trying to say RJJ, he got fired from HBO the first time for not showing up to production meetings and unprofessional stuff like that. But now that he's retired (or almost is) wouldn't he have more time of his hands to show up to production meetings and stuff?

TS: The article says this is a possibility, not a fact, so I edited your thread title as such.

Roy does a fantastic job of commentating. He is always on point and can tell whats gonna happen in a fight by the second round. Quite a shame, and he deserved it, I think. He did an amazing job on the Cotto-Foreman fight, and has done a tremendous job on ther fights as well. HBO got it wrong on this one, I think. Sugar Ray Leonard isn't that great. He did an okay job with the Roy Hopkins rematch, but not that good.

This cool personally I think Roy would be better but ive heard commentating from SRL when he retired cuz of the eye and he was pretty good listen either way its going to be better then Lennox

Although RJJ knows his stuff, tv personality wise I don't really favor him.

I actually don't like RJJ that much (not bad but not great). I frequently question where his claims are coming from - Jones is just about the last person I'd want advice from regarding boxing technique. why? he's a fighter isn't he just because he fights in a somewhat unconventional way doesn't mean he doesn't understand the fundamentals if anything he mastered the principles of boxing when he was a kid in his prime he was quick enough to lead with hooks and in incredible condition so he could just throw power shots the whole round doesn't mean he can't comment on guys that do the basics jab right hand well he was a better commentator than foreman who used to constantly contradict himself he was good though ray leonard is a great commentator also people need to get of tarver's nuts he's ok but come on showtime's commentators are lame anyway

I frequently question where his claims are coming from - Jones is just about the last person I'd want advice from regarding boxing technique. and he is also annoying. yeah but he nailed fight analysis like no one else ever did from the hbo booth. The guy fought different, but faced and beat a million regular guys, i guess it must be that. I recently looked at some "old" hbo telecasts where he was commentating,, and man could he read a fight... By the second round, he already figured exactly everything that will matter. I hope Leonard is as good as that, because i don't really give a damn about personality. That part is screwed already as they have kellerman in the team...

Leonard used to do a good job back in the day, good news.

Haven't seen him in action. I would have picked RJJ.

I thought Roy was getting the job, but nothing wrong with Leonard. He's probably a better commentator anyway. I actually don't like RJJ that much (not bad but not great).

Alhamdulillah.......... Mashallah Sugar Ray leonard, inshallah you will do a good job.
