        Yeah, I feel like Paulie really does a great job. He seems like a pretty smart dude, and he brings a lot of insightful commentary as far as explaining things going on in the ring from a boxer's perspective.

        For example, when he was stressing how Danny Garcia was catching & punching with Matthyysse, a power puncher...explaining how that is not something that is easy to do.

        He picks up on things that the other commentators don't usually pick up on. The only time I can recall seeing him be somewhat biased was during the Khan-Collazo fight. That is pretty understandable, though, because Collazo is a good friend of his. I remember seeing them hanging out in NY.

            Here I thought Roy Jones was the smartest human being on the planet.

              C'mon give the man a break. Roy Jones is a career boxer who probably didn't even finished High school. That's how he has earned his living. He was never some Harvard law school college professor who had been known for being a wordsmith. Therefore, his limited grasp of proper grammatically speaking English could be somewhat expected.

                Have met Roy several times I've never had a bad experience. In fact, I've never had a bad experience with any boxer except one.

                    I just got around to watching the Luis Rosa-Luis Del Valle fight from this past weekend.

                    Roy Jones was calling the fight, and was going on & on describing how Del Valle was able to absorb lots of punishment & always come back fighting hard in his fight against Darchinyan. He would explain how he expected nothing less from Del Valle in this fight, because he proved to be "resigerent" ....? He made up his own word. The word he was looking for: resilient ...

                    My goodness. This reminded me of when he didn't know the different between compassion & passion during the Pacquiao-Bradley broadcast...Jim Lampley had to explain the difference to him the same way I would have to explain the difference to my niece that is in third grade.

                    I respect Roy Jones as a boxer, and look at his ring accomplishments with profound admiration, but I'm really not impressed with his work as an announcer. He never really says anything very insightful, and constantly displays an immense lack of vocabulary. Obviously, I wouldn't necessarily expect much sophistication coming from him, because he is there for his boxing insight, but he fails to impress me in that regard as well. I'm much more impressed with Paulie Malignaggi's work as an announcer. I would even say that Andre Ward does a much better job than him.

                    Roy isn't as bad as Lennox Lewis was (my goodness), but he is pretty bad...
                    I'm sorry Roy was a bit of a **** but the most ironic thing here is that RESURGENT is a word, and I think that's what you are telling me Roy said....so...uh...there's THAT.

                      OP wrote "resigerent," not resurgent.
