    Does anybody else wish they would fire George Foreman and Larry Merchant?

    I dont know what his connection is to boxing pre HBO but they should really cut their ties. Larry has been getting away with little racist comments about hispanic with it seems no repercussions. I guess they just charge it to being old. If you thought it couldnt get worse, throw him and Foreman on the same telecast and watch the sweet science turn sour. If you notice every so often you catch Lampley staring at them with a look on his face that screams "what the **** are you babbling about". I want them to make Max the full time analyst alongside Lampley and Lenox. Hell Ill even take Roy Jones on a regular basis. Do me a favor HBO, If Merchant ever falls down backstage just start putting dirt on top of him and see if he gets up. As for George and future Georges please insert a minimum IQ testing for all of your analyst. How can you become a HW champion and be less Knowledgeable about boxing. In my opinion they devalue HBO and boxing all together.

    George is hit and miss sometimes but, by far he was one of the best analysts they've ever had(Gil Clancy, Roy Jones, etc.). Lennox is a dumb bumbling bastard, he stutters way too ****ing much.

                Good, I didnt know george was fired. thats a start. What is so good about Merchant with his racist commentary and pointless and dry metaphoric jokes.

                    I see you prefer eloquence over substance. Lewis and Roy may not be great speakers but they speak on things that only a boxer can notice in another boxer. ITs much better than Larry fallin asleep at mid sentence trying to sound like a genius. Manny is okay but he is good for changing his opinion in the 6th round after hes givin us his expert opinion that was totally wrong.
