      thank god they fired lennox, he was HORRIBLE, but im goin to miss laughin at him with my brothers during fights, dude was just plain lost when he talked, a really good laugh. roy jones is a little better but i dont think he should be hired either, he still talks as if hes about to fight himself, he needs to calm down a lil bit. larry merchant should get fired too, his boring poetry and hatred for BOXERS is just tiring, get rid of him, he deserves to be in UFC since he loves guys who throw a billion punches wit no defense.

      i really wish HBO would picked up Antonio Tarver, he turned out to be real good pickup for Showtime, hes not biased, hes just calls it like it is.

      but freedie roach would be a good replacement i guess, but im afraid he'l spend half the time bashing on mayweather. why not hire mike tyson? nobody could be worse than lennox

            like it or not, roach is one of the most knowledgeable people about boxing, IN boxing PERIOD.

            this would be a monumental and great replacement. he is far more knowledgeable and lucid than the entire HBO staff combined. this would be an incredible A-list addition to their team....

                Roger: "Dam dat mutha***a ***in dat nygga up!"

                Jim Lampley: "Yes, Roger. I think your assertions are accurate. He seems to be giving him hell. **** **** ****!"

                Larry Merchant: "Roger, what do you think can explain his assault on his opponent?"

                Roger: "Dat mutha****a be on dat a-side meth. He ain't even dyin!"

                  They should get Tyson to do it, he's knowledgable and it would keep him out of trouble. Lennox should do a deal with Sky, they're crying out for some star power. Glenn McCrory and Johnny Nelson ain't cutting it.

                  I think Roach would be biased. I think Teddy Atlas does a good job when he's not slandering people.

                    Tyson: HBO would never hire such a controversial figure because they get off on being this squeaky clean professional presentation and having a convicted rapist and multiple felon and ex-con and someone liable to have a break down at any moment of the broadcast is not something they will relish having.

                    So no, the chances of them ever hiring Tyson are about slim to NONE
