Lennox Lewis has to be the worst commentator

I’m watching Berlanga vs Coceres and he’s talking Berlanga’s up jab. He’s asked to explain what that is and he says: ‘it’s like a regular jab but you turn it upside down’ - - Lewie like a lot of BS regulars in that he has an IQ inferiority complex to go along with his boxing inferiority complex that makes him right stoooopid.

"He's one tough cookie from Youngstown!!" that was my Lennox line. I can't imagine that fight without that line at the time that he said it. They all have their moments I guess; sometimes the pairings of the 3 aren't right and things don't click. I did think he would say some odd stuff sometimes that didn't make sense to me but when it's a HW fight, I do still listen to the HW because it's a different mentality for them

RJJ had a great voice on the mic. He didn't interject too much. Usually recognized valid work from each fighter too. Foreman, to me wasn't quite on par but wasn't a shill either. It almost seems like the HW's are a little less aware of certain nuances that might not apply in the full grown man division. Emmanuel Steward was goat and is missed by all. No argument. Sometimes I tear up a little just listening to his voice. I miss him and the whole HBO team. Steward was awesome. Did you remember the ‘ohhhhh maaaaaa gawd!’ from the Berto vs Ortiz fight? lol

Better than Sergio Mora I like Mora. One of my favourite commentators right now

Lennox is pretty bad. I'm not a fan of his commentary, I've said this many times but some of the people that are on broadcasts that you'd expect to provide insight are the worst. Lewis is guilty of that, Sugar Ray Leonard is terrible, Goossen is absolutely mediocre. It's always such a letdown. As for Ward, he's biased and he comes off as a narcissist but at least he offers some good analysis (if biased). He can see things happening in the ring and can articulate it well, but when a fighter reminds him of himself or the antithesis of his values, watch out for the bias.

Steward was my favorite, I love RJJ calling fights and Foreman was good but not great.

I disagree, Bryan Kenny repeatedly calling him "len-nox" is equally annoying. I can't recall which fight it was (maybe Morell/Allen?) But he informed Kenny that the correct pronunciation of his name was "len-ox" and not ""len-nix". Ever since then, No pronounces it the former and not the latter.

RJJ. where is he? Foreman Emmanual Steward was goat RJJ had a great voice on the mic. He didn't interject too much. Usually recognized valid work from each fighter too.

I was never really a fan of his commentating. Same goes for Andre Ward but nothing personal against either of them When he called the Kownacki Helenius II fight with the Showtime crew he was good. It matters who you’re paired with. I wish they would replace Mares with him.

Better than Bradley, Ward and Froch. I rate all those guys higher than LL tbh

- - Lewie may be more articulate in his useless inanity, but both dum as a suppository in use and both terribly insecure in their modest placement in the Pantheon of Greats. U boys listening to boxing commentary during a fight half the reason U monkeys don't know how to score a fight and throw 2 year old screaming, kicking, turning blue tantrums after every fight. Nice story sweetie-pie babykins

I like Lennox. He offers unintentional comic relief.

Lennox is quite a bore to listen to. I can picture him half asleep when he does commentary. I forgot what HBO fight it was, but I remember the fight being a total mismatch and Lampley asked Lennox his opinion, and he was like, "he's gonna have to throw some punches..." Lmao I expect more insight from an ATG Heavyweight champ. :lol1:

Ward has a tendency to make things about himself. He doesn’t seem to like it when people are in awe of something he didn’t have have as boxer. Dynamite power, insane durability etc Unlike Lewis he is coherent and able articulate himself well - - Lewie may be more articulate in his useless inanity, but both dum as a suppository in use and both terribly insecure in their modest placement in the Pantheon of Greats.

Ward has a tendency to make things about himself. This!!! I’m a fan of Ward but you’re spot on. It’s like during Taylor-Catterall he kept referencing his fight with Kovalev and how he got off the floor and won.

Overall boxing commentators are terrible these days 'Well they are not to my liking'. But I have no issues with Lennox Lewis. The guard of HBO was great. And Sky Sports Boxing old school commentators were good as well. Barry Mcguigan, Ian Darke, Jim Watt. These commentators where familiar, they brought authenticity and original intensity. Jim Lampley, Roy Jones Junior, Larry Merchant. The Guard of HBO, had a prestige and eloquence about their work 'George Foreman was also a great commentator. I find that commentators and boxing presenters are very tacky these days, things seem shallow 'Prestige seems to have decreased'.

Better than Bradley, Ward and Froch. Froch is a far better commentator than Lewis. Put a mic infront of a rock and it has more personality and insight than Lennox "is he hurt?I think he's hurt" Lewis.
