Ross Greenburg, the head of HBO sports, is a moron

Hopkins, Tarver, Jones, Foreman all were better choices.

I am pretty sure Tarver is under contract with Showtime. I am not sure if he can get out of that. But, he would be great

I have no idea why Roach even wants this job I can barekly understand him when he speaks.

I can see why Roach might wanted. Pac might retire soon and he might retire training also. And, this would be his way to stay relevant and get paid good money.

But, for the love of god you going to need subtitles.

I don't want any former boxers tbh. Go out and get a professional commentator. HBO is a first class network and should stay away from 2nd rate or no rate commentators. I appreciate the insight boxers give but come on you were born to fight, not call fights.

Sean O'Grady was pretty good. And, I really really enjoyed listening to Kevin Kelly on KO boxing with Ed Lover. He did a great job commentating in those programmings.

The only candidates should be Roy Jones, Ray Leonard, Bernard Hopkins, Kevin Kelly, and at least Sean O'Grady. He was better than Lennox Lewis and Foreman.

I didn't like roy as much because he he would refer to himself too much when giving his analogies,i think srl would have been a better choice, bhop an kevin kelly wouldn't be popular but i think great choices.

Thats true he would get paid good. I hope this isnt official I cant listen to HBO commentary as it is. I almost always have to volume off.

He just not a boxing guy. He is a great producer though, I will give him that. But, when it comes to boxing he is out of his element.

thomas hauser wrote a scathing in depth article about greenburg & his reign as head of hbo sports. it outlined all of his horrendous decision making & all of the fights he overpaid for.

he has been close to getting canned several times but somehow always manages to keep his job.

Thomas Hauser wrote a piece about it. I try to find a link for you.

I'm going to wait and see... Obviously I would prefer to have someone like Ray Leonard or Roy Jones commentating again, but I have no idea whether they are willing and have the commitment to do it. Leonard did commentate on a recent boxing card but would he be willing to do it almost every weekend?

[Pullcounter]

people were dissing Lennox so bad on these forums. maybe NSB shouldn't be complaining so much

[mrpain81]

Ray Leonard would be great, Roy Jones was always good too but he was always ****ing up not going to the fighters meetings and being late. I don't really like the idea of having Roach cause it would distract him from training his fighters and also it's hard to make out everything he says.
