      But unfortunately the above statement is correct - he is not reliable at all and probably is drugged up.

      BTW, something about Lennox Lewis just pisses me off when speaks. Some of the **** he says doesn't make any sense
      Its because all Lennox does is repeat what Lampley just asked him.
      Lamp: The jab is really working for him tonight isnt it Lennox?
      Len: The jab is DEFinitely working for him tonight Jim.

          Tyson was pretty lousy the one time I've heard him commentate, during the Brown/Pettway, Hopkins/Mercado 2 card.

          Besides, Tyson has burned bridges @ HBO anyway.

            Mike Tyson would be MUCH better than Max Kellerman, who has to be the worst boxing commentator of all time.

            Someone mentioned Tarver, he would be another good choice. Chris Byrd is okay too - good voice, well spoken, and knows his stuff.

            The best of all though would be Joe Mesi - I've heard him on ESPN and he's excellent.

                i completely agree, but i think its unlikely. the last tyson interview i saw mike didnt smile and his speech was very slurred. along with that, mike's constant run-ins with the law wont be very good for his commentating career.

                  Sorry but NO ONE is better than Roy Jones, he needs to come back asap. Lennox and Stewart got nothing on them and are sometimes downright annoying to listen to. Especially Lennox.
