      I can not understand for the life of me why HBO never gave Iran Barkley a shot at the job....he is easily one of the smartest fighters the game has ever seen and his insight into the sport would be incredible...

      If not Barkley than maybe Hearns-Hearns is also a brilliant man that could certainly bring a lot to the table!

        Jones reminds me too much of Bill Walsh during his short career as an expert commentator for football.

        "Wow. Did you see that play?"
        "Yeah. Back when I designed that play at the 49ers blah blah blah"

        I generally tune Roy out. George made some ****** statements, but they only added to the entertainment value.

          yeah, in a way, this is true, alongside the drunken larry merchant and big george foreman, RJJ adds awesome entertainment value to HBO, although, i guess they could just as well have Zab Judah there talking ****, or better yet James Toney - i'd love to see him at ringside talking trash about all the fighters and making up nicknames for them

            What about Bernard Hopkins, that's expert analysis.

              Hopkins would probobly be a good choice... At least you can understand what he is saying...
              But what do I care, living in Norway where professional boxing is banned, no tv coverage and no magazines, so...
