Why dont HBO bring back George Foreman?

[shinobi108]

Currently watching his commentary on Hopkins vs Trinidad, EPIC. He's breaking down the fight and footwork etc, he see's the beating coming Trinidad's way looong before Jim and Larry. He also talks about Mayweather in his Genaro Hernandez fight. Best commentator I've personally heard about, the way he was breaking down Trinidads footwork in the third and fourth was brilliant

Wasn't there some stuff about him & Lampley really not being fond of each other at all? I know they got into it a few times on air, like pretty heated ****. I think they kinda made amends but I doubt they ever want to work together again.

Yeah old George was good.

Bring him back for sure.

But nothing will ever bring HBO back to former glory unless Larry Merchant lived forever.

HBO basically died as the undisputed best commentary to watch the moment Larry retired.

His wit and humour and thrilling style was absolutely unbeatable.

[Ham Porter]

He became completely disillusioned with boxing after P4P king James Page lost.

[Canvas]

He was terrible. He spewed complete nonsense.

He did not retire. He was forced out. He's still around doing commentary for secondary telecasts and some other places.

I never liked the guy. He tries too hard and is a fake, racist *******.

Yeah, I can't find it now but I saw an interview with Lampley a while back where the interviewer asked him if he missed working with Foreman and Lampley just said 'not at all' or something to that effect.

He certainly is a brilliant commentator. He sees the fourth dimension. His commentary on Vargas-Trinidad is excellent. At one point he had to dumb down what he was saying so Larry Merchant could understand it. He should come back.
