Roy Jones Jr. knows more about boxing than ANYONE

[oldgringo]

The respectable thing about Atlas is that he genuinely seems concerned about every fighter who enters the ring. I thought it was very respectable how he was screaming into the ring for someone to stop the Quiles/Campbell fight. that was an awful job by everyone involved that night. That's the type of fight that gets people killed.

Lennox Lewis is terrible as a commentator.
Manny talks too boring, is biased but has knowledge.

Roy was good, and it was always a challenge to understand his dialect

Wouldnt it be funny to have James Toney and Larry Merchant working side by side?

that would be so awesome. I'd miss the fights entirely because I'd be on the floor laughing. no way anybody would ever pick Toney up the way he cusses

Roy was largely incomprehensible and seemed to always be on the verge of saying "...but not as powerful|good|fast|tough|good-looking|smooth|technical as me" whenever he commented on a boxer's qualities.

Steward is boring and surprisingly devoid of insight.

Lennox Lewis has the charisma of a plate of over-cooked brussel sprouts.

Teddy Atlas is remarkably insightful and also quite entertaining. He should be doing it more frequently.

George Foreman was an awesome commentator and I always enjoyed his insights.

Iceman Scully was also an excellent and informed commentator. Not sure why he's still not doing it... perhaps not a big enough "name"

I'd actually like to see Tyson as a commentator. His voice is a bit weird but his knowledge of boxing history is pretty amazing and he'd bring some interest to the sport. Of course, it would mean he'd have to not be crazy which seems sadly beyond his ability, but otherwise he'd be great at it...

[Dr.Depravity]

My dream commentating crew would be Foreman, Jones and Atlas. I think they all know their **** inside and out.
Also I laugh my ass off every time Lewis says "absolutely" or "definitely". So if he left I would sorta miss that though.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression Scully was only doing voice overs for classic fights.

[niceguy45]

larry merchant should def. stay.....roy jones jr was good at it too but idk what happened.........the best team was larry, jim and george classic

[Kball15]

Correct me if im wrong, but i think HBO stopped having hime because he started fighting again, and wanted to concentrate soley on his newer career

[Easy-E]

Bull**** about Klit-Brew, that's when he made an utter fool of himself. he was saying Brewster was finished, for one. Wrong. Then he said Klitschko should retire (notice since then he's been one of the best fighters in any division, and by far the best at HW?).

Klit got him with a classy pwnage when he said "during the Brewster fight someone questioned my chin but that fighter then got knocked out."

Manny Steward > Roy Jones > Lennox Lewis

His chin got questioned because his chin is questionable AND he got knocked out. Roy never said his chin wasnt questionable, Roy was simply stating facts.
And Brewster was on the brink of being done, he was getting tagged left and right until Wlads ****ty conditioning came back to bite him in the ass.
Roy is the best HBO has ever had.
