Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach To Replace Lennox Lewis on HBO?

[JuicyJones]

I hope this doesn't happen!

Freddie Roach is usually very bias and his voice is annoying as anything I've ever heard. I'd listen to Emmanuel Stewart on a megaphone for 24 hours straight before I listen to Freddie Roach on B.A.D. without the TV on mute. I can hear it now..."Freddie, he just got dropped. What do u tell your fighter after he has been dropped" "I'd tell him, Throw your jab son. Create space so he can get on the inside. You've been her before son, you can overcome this.....son" He begins and ends ever sentence with "son".

I say Marvin Hagler, George Foreman, Antonio Tarver, Roy Jones, or ****m Richardson are all better options. I'm mad Lennox is leaving, he knows the sport very well.

I'd rather see someone like BHop, Toney or Roy Jones jr doing the commentating.

Seems like a situation where they're keeping the jobs within their race.

I was hoping it would be Elie Seckbach





























Reporting.

I like this idea, Roach + Seckhback.

" Floyd is scared of Pacquiao, i think Baldomir wins it 10-1. Floyd needs a KO."
Seckbach

"We we we will knock him out. Fight us Fl..fl..oyd."

"That's a great statement Elie."
Larry Merchant.

That'sright but Tarver seems lazy and just want to enjoy the fights for free, lol. He has great boxing knowledge but usually starts to talk after round 4.

****m or Roy = great idea.

George told me he couldn't do all those events coz he was getting old and tired.

[SirTomJones]

no offence but Lewis is easier to understand.

The job should have been given to Money Mayweather, or either his Dad or Uncle.

[golden boxer]

teddy atlas is the man for the job he might be negative sometimes but the guy is the truth he knows his boxing he would put larry merchant in his place for making bias comments

Roach knows a lot about boxing bull**** aside. But let's be honest the dude can't speak well because of his illness. Why would HBO do that to themselves? Put somebody up who can at least speak clearly all the time.

Agreed. Roach's illness is very sad, but if I'm HBO, I'm not sorry enough for him to allow him on my broadcasts. And how is he going to look with a mic in hand in a suit. He won't be able to hid the shakes.

Bring in Paulie Malignaggi. Speaks clearly, very knowledgable, and very entertaining.

[Concussive]

Teddy Atlas is the man. Too truthful though for the hype machine that is known as HBO. If a fighter fights bums, Teddy will let you know. I would say Teddy or RJJ though. Hell, I would even say scoop up Antonio Tarver from Showtime. Tarver is a damn good broadcaster. Perhaps even Big George? He was funny as hell. I think he sold a couple grills while he was broadcasting to Merchant!

[aristotlemoses]

They need to get someone like Antonio Tarver. I never liked Lewis felt like he just said the same **** over and over. I like Tarver a lot. There's gotta be someone out there who's like that.
