    Roach vs Lennox - who would make the best HBO commentator?

    So Freddie might be in the frame, huh?

    Personally I think that Lennox is indispensible and can't believe rumours (rumors, Fat Yanks) he was "let go" by the network.

    Who can forget the insightful "uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm... he definitely uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... needs to, you know, uhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... use his jab, you know?"

    Or the cutting: "uhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... definitely I'd use my jab. uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I use my jab. Definitely."

    You get commentators like that only once in a generation. But instead they want to replace it with:

    "Manneeeeeeeeee... muh muh muh muh muhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".


    I think they're both cun - er, I mean, Lennox is the best. But what say YOU?

      Lennox Lewis often went on serious tangets to the points Max and Bob were making... cringe worthy.

          Yeah, he can talk all the boxing he knows but I still hear "muh, muh..muh...mannee."

              Why didn't HBO call Joe Calzaghe?

              Listen. At the end of the day. You need to throw 1,000 punches. Listen. After all I beat Jeff Lacy.

                  Nice one man, what a dumb **** he was.


                  I reckon they ought to give the gig to Paul "The Ass Punisher" Williams. YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'? YouknowwhatI'msayin'?

                    Why did they get rid of Lennox Lewis? He has one of the coolest British accents.
