HBO Drops Roy Jones as Analyst

[IwatchBoxing]

The real question is, who'll replace him? Hopefully it aint DLH...

[THE REAL NINJA]

whats wrong with max? he knows his boxing ,a bit of a nuthugger but arent we all

i give the guy credit i liked his show on Espn ...but he is annoying as hell half of the time.. plus he will talk bad about a fighter then change his story when he sees them

[Hisoka]

Max Kellerman would be awesome.

[Darkstar]

From what I hear HBO has 3 former fighters on their current short list to replace Jones.

Rid**** Bowe
Iran Barkley
Tommy Hearns

I will keep you all updated!

I hope they dont bring in Rid**** Bowe, he cant even speak english..
Id say they try to get James Toney, he always is good on the FSN fights

[jack_the_rippuh]

**** that..
Bring in Toney.

[Boxerdog]

Note to self:

Almost time for The Sopranos to come back.
HBO Boxing has ****-canned "Mushmouth".
Time to re-subscribe.

no former fighter/color commentator has done as well as sugar ray leonard, i wish he would come back.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Roy's commentating was good anf full of substance, and he even predicted the very punch to KO a guy on several occasions.

Some of you are quite foolish in thinking this has anything to do with his commentating skills. It says right there this was done because Roy wants to fight. It's a conflict of interest. Roy will probably be back later on.

I thought Roy was excellent, certainly better than Foreman.
I'll miss him as commentator.

To me, Ray Leonard was the best fighter turned commentator.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

Per my inside sources within HBO, here's the short list of possible replacements.

Chuck Norris
Jean Claude Van Damme
Ralph Macchio
Steven Segal
Dolph Lundgren
Wesley Snipes
