      this really sucks, this will demoralize RJJ even more.
      neways does it have to be black that replaces him, why cant they bring on somebody like DLH, i know he might not be interested but i think he would make a good commentator. It would be also interesting if prince Naseem Hamed started commentating for HBO, the main event in this case would be larry merchant vs Naz every time.

          well, they lost a pretty good 'boxer' analyst, that knows more than either of the other two clowns do.

                    Roy was spot on with most of his comments. I guess HBO needs more biased cheer-leeding commentators that don't really know the sport.

                      Roy Jones was probably the most articulate commentator of all of them. The other commentators were always biased on their house fighters. Roy was always on point with everything. I remember when Roy insulted Larry Merchant by saying something like..."How would you know?, you never boxed before" and Larry was all shook after that.
