Lewis was great in the ring, but he a TERRIBLE boxing commentator.

Yeah, I don't understand why HBO insists on forcing Lennox on us. Big George used to say some crazy **** on a fairly regular basis, but he would always throw out a few really insightful gems before the night was over. Even after years of doing this stuff, Lennox always seems nervous and unprepared. Also, he is the ****ing zen master of overstating the obvious. I've yet to hear him say anything truly insightful with regard to what goes on in a fighter's head or about any sort of strategy a fighter needs to employ.

Typical exchange:

Lampley: Lennox, fighter A is having a really difficult time adjusting to the speed and movement of fighter B. What can fighter A do to compensate for his relatively slow hand and foot speed?

Lennox: Yes, definitely. Fighter A is definitely having a difficult time adjusting to the speed and movement of fighter B. He definitely needs to compensate for his relatively slow hand and foot speed, Jim.

I think Lennox says some ****** stuff, but every now and then he will say something very useful and meaningful.

But seriously guys, how many times have you heard Lennox on the air, say how happy he is now that he's retired because he loves to commentate and stuff... HBO IS AFRAID TO FIRE THE GUY!!!! It would devestate Lennox to be Fired.

lennox, papa, and kellerman worked pretty damn good for me. lennox knows boxing. he doesn't always articulate his thoughts well, but a lot of times he does. i don't know, i thought the three of them together worked well tonight.

and for the first time in awhile i had an (almost) identical scorecard to ledderman.

Lewis is the biggest heavyweight ***** if I ever seen one in the sport of boxing. Tyson would have retired him in the very first round in his prime. I never had any respect for him when HE LOST EVERY ROUND of the Klitchko fight and it was stopped due to a head butt and Lewis talked **** and retired like a ***** that he is. I take it back hes not a bigger ***** than Calzaghe but Lewis is an idiot and only won fights because of his size and a jab. Holyfield in his prime would kill him as well. He was a filler of the heavyweights, because we had nobody at the time. NOW its even worse. So he looks better because no one in that class has anything. Klitchko on his GOOD days is really good but is not anything great.

Lennox Lewis is an idiot.
