About HBO boxing..

What about Vitali Klitschko as a commentator for hbo.....

[tracylee]

In your opinion, was HBO boxing better with George Foreman as the third wheel?

Although I didnt think I would, I kinda miss big George! I think he did much better than Jones does, and atleast he could make a person laugh from time to time with the off the wall stuff he'd say. And the spats with Merchant are legendary (and sorely missed!!)

Youre joking, right??

Chris Byrd sound so much like a geek he sounds arrogant. Do you ever hear his interviews?

I get the impression that alot of his arrogance isnt real...that he is just desperately trying to 'goad' someone..anyone, into fighting him. Could be wrong about that, but that is the impression I get.

He'd be too hard to understand, for me anyway Having the disrespectful merchant and the cheerleading Lampley are bad enough!!!

[QueenCity]

Personaly I thought Foreman was the perfect complement to Lampley and Merchant, I'd like to see him back

Larry Merchant: So what do you think of the fighters tonight Vitali?

Vitali: He took away my dream of fighting Mike Tyson, now I gunna take...

Larry Merchant: No, Vitali. This fight what about these fighters?

Vitali: Lennox Lewis promised me a re-match, I wish he would live up to ...

Larry Merchant: God damn it Vitali this is a middleweight fight, will you talk about these fighters!

Vitali: Ya, sorry Larry. It's just that its the dream of the Klitchcos to both be world heavyweight champs at the same time.

Larry: Will someone get Roy Jones back in here?

Vitali: I play chess.

Larry: Or even big George.

I liked George and i like jones. But i liked that George would take control at times away from merchant and lampley and go off on his own.
Merchant and lampley seemed to act like they were the draw and who the fans at home wanted to hear. I dont remember many memorable moments from lamp and merchant but plenty from george.
