Roy Jones Jr. knows more about boxing than ANYONE

[Easy-E]

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

that was his one drawback as a commentator.

roy is the best, in anything he does....

I never liked Jones a commentataor, he talked about himself to often and played sides in fights.

His technical analysise wern't any better or worse than Stewart's or Atlas or any of these guys.

Just by comparing his commentating on HBO broadcasts to Emanuel Steward's (the next brightest guy), it isn't even close. Roy knows everything about this sport when is watching it unfold before his eyes. As long as he isn't discussing himself, I would talk to him about boxing before anyone else in the history of the sport.

Just watch the telecast for Klitschko-Brewster from 2004. It's as if the fight is a movie and Roy has written the script. He gives EVERY FREAKING DETAIL before it happens. He either has a crystal ball when he commentates or he really is the smartest guy out there.

If that's not enough, watch Trinidad-Mayorga or even Hopkins-Allen from the same year. He calls all knockdowns before they happen and the punch that will cause them. You might say that's no big deal but until another commentator does it, it is to me. I can't believe HBO stopped having him do the honors.

emanuel steward is a great trainer, but when it comes to floyd mayweather jr fights, he calls his fights like he's larry merchant's puppet, and he predicts floyd's fights wrong a lot also. he knows about boxing, no doubt, but a bright commentator isn't a puppet, and steward is one imo. roy is good though.
