Commentator Lennox Lewis

[VanesBoxing]

are we supposed to complete the sentence??

hmmm

commentator Lennox Lewis... SUCKS!!!

[americanspirit]

Yeah Lennox is unsuited for the job.

Slightly better the last time, but I can't wait till 2060 for him to get up to a reasonable standard.

Basically Lewis is an excellent commentator. Some people raise some good points but he's definitely improved as a commentator. Basically, he's better than Roy Jones already and tied with George Foreman. He's absolutely better than Joe Frazier by now. I think he'll definitely improve with each telecast and he'll basically be the best commentator ever within three years. You definitely need to give him some time and he'll absolutely shock you. Basically, he just needs time to get better, or improve.

Haha.
Lewis is ok but annoying.
Roy was the best, but he did kinda mumble and kind of slur his words.
What can you expect?
RJJ is street.

roy jones is country

I imagine it's tough for HBO to want to find a boxer who both wants to do it and wont sound like a completely idiot... as well as being known to the boxing public. He's getting better and with time, who knows. I liked Foreman and RJJ the most because RJJ knew his **** and wouldn't kiss Merchant's ass or anybody else's. Foreman because I just loved listening to his personality as such a happy-go-lucky personality.

Think Lewis is a pretty decent commentator, who is steadily improving
- think he'll become top rate with a little more confidence, as he's got the brains & the experience.

Don't think he's quite up to the level of RJJ, Jim Watt or Sean O'Grady, all former fighters turned commentators, but remember Jones as being pretty patchy when he was starting out.
Marvelous Marvin was excellent, & he was pretty good from the start.


Big George was entertaining, but sometimes bizarre, with some of the strangest calls I've ever heard.
I think you'd call him local color rather than expert commentry.

Leonard used to annoy a bit - a little too intrusive, as well patronising at times, but he knew his stuff.


My favourite commentator's all time was probably Gil Clancy, & a team of him with Sean O'Grady & Tim ? was pretty damn good.

Jim Watt I find to be the best current ex-fighter turned commentator
- illustrative without getting in your face about it.

Lewis is pretty redundant and sometimes loses himself. Like his description of Oleg Maskaev.

"Maskaev reminds me of some...Siberian guy...in Siberia..running...in the snow with snow shoes."

Yeah. He said that. On air. That was his take on Oleg. ....Yep.

What happened to fran charles? did he get axed?

[BodyHead Banger]

Damn, it's been a minute since I posted on this hea...

But Fran Charles works on the NFL Network, in between calling fights on B.A.D.

I thought RJJ was pretty good, and yes, Lennox sucks, but what does the boxing world think about Sugar Ray Leonard providing commentary? I thought he was pretty well spoken in his moments during the Contender...
