Bernard Hopkins wants Roy Jones' commentating job.

George favorite fighters to watch were the punchers, I can tell.

But Tyson can make good intelligent comments on boxing. He isn't as dumb as people think. I know some broadcasters who have said the same thing. People think Mike is ****** but hes actually decently smart.

He is smart, but being a commentator is about having charisma..

[Truth]

He is smart, but being a commentator is about having charisma..

I'm not saying he is the best choice, but he is capable. I would pick Max Kellerman or bring back Big George.

[Southpaw16]

I know that, but why isn't he doing it no more?

He still has the charisma and everything to do it..

I remember he was brodcasting on the Contender finale, I didn't find Sugar Ray to be very good at all. In my opinion, the perfect man for the job would be Antonio Tarver. He is extremely articulate and knowledgable.

if i was roy id be knocked the **** out by tarver and glen hohnson

Didn't they bring back Ray Leonard for the ESPN PPV last April? From what I could remember he didn't sound so great, or was as articulate as he used to be. That could be the reason for HBO not wanting him.

As far as having Hop goes, I'd be all for it but I could see SEVERAL conflicts arising between him and Merchant, both of whom are not shy about saying they disagree with someone. Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be hilariously entertaining but I'm sure its something HBO has kept in mind when looking for a replacement.

Can't remember who said it but as far as having a boxer as a commentator and it helping the ratings, I think that would be irrelevant because boxing fans will watch boxing regardless, and for non fans having a boxing commentator would not be enough to put them over the top to start watching boxing.

if i recall hopkins has trash talked hbo on occasion.

i'd rather listen to emanuel augustus.
