Roy Jones Jr. knows more about boxing than ANYONE

[Eno]

Why did they end up firing him? I always liked his commentating.

Roy was unwilling to prep with HBO crew Thurs-Sat, only Fri and Sat. So, they got rid of him.

Their loss really.

Or maybe they got tired of Roy saying how the fight would end 5 rounds before it did. Audiences might start to catch on to that.

Then again, it could turn out to be an Ali type of thing where people would tune in just to see if he knocked the guy out when he predicted he would. In that case, HBO has missed out by not keeping Roy.

I tell it like it is always.

no you do not, but you tell it like you see it at least. good k for this one.

The one thing that I miss that Lennox Lewis doesn't do, but Foreman and Jones both did a little, is when one of the other commentators disagrees with something they say they would poke at the fact that Lampley and Merchant have never been in the ring.

I think the most insightful boxing commentator is teddy atlas. I dont know why HBO didnt hire him. He is fun to listen to when he get angry too. I was watching the Agustus vs Burton fight last night. Boy did Teddy flip out when the results where anounced.

you can't be serious. Teddy is a terrible commentator. he plays both sides of the fence on absolutely everything. ask him for a prediction NOWADAYS and he says why both guys CAN win, not who will win. and of course, when he actually makes the prediction it's pathetic: DLH and Judah over Mayweather???? and this guy is called an expert? why, I have no idea.

[-Antonio-]

He is definitely better than Lennox, absolutely.

Thats what an analysts job is. Present the sides and let you make the decision. Teddy doesnt put rediculous slants of fights he calls. He also knows so much about boxing.

His calls might be a little technical for some casual fans, and sometimes he can be a little over dramatic for my tastes, but for my money Id still like to see him call a big fight on HBO

[DiegoFuego]

Sorry, but anybody dumb enough to pick DLH over Mayweather doesn't deserve my attention because they obviously no less about the sport.
