Who do you think is the best color commentator? Lewis, RJJ, Tarver, etc...

Who is the best color commentator that was a former boxer or trainer?

- Lennox Lewis
- Roy Jones Jr.
- Antonio Tarver
- Bernard Hopkins
- Bobby Czyz
- Emanuel Steward
- George Foreman
- Sean O'Grady
- Other

 

jones for actual technicalities, foreman for fun

 

Foreman. But I go by how many times I laugh out loud while listening. Lennox would be close if he spoke more.

 

george foreman and its not close. roy is a distant second. lennox was horrible.

 

Foreman talked a lot of bull****, Jones n Tarver were good.

 

I get the impression that Lennox is a quiet person...more cerebral. He plays chess. But that's why he was a very smart boxer.

 

He's certainly not stupid, for sure. But as a commentator...regularly dropping lines like "You don't wanna be takin' punches like that early in a fight." and ''It's pretty easy guarding against a left hook, you just put your right glove up in front of your face."

 

Roy

 

did anyone else read the thread title and felt is was abit racist?

 

Jones.

Foreman is a goofball.
Lennox just doesn't add value.
Tarver is slightly more likeable as a commentator than he was as a boxer. But he isn't up with Jones.

Steward and Bhop do nothing for me.
I can't recall hearing the others (but I'm a shocker for not caring about the commentors)

 

roy jones was the best it's true what roger mayweather says most people in the media of boxing don't **** about it ex boxers have the best knowledge on the sport not writers or so called experts like larry merchant who never boxed a day in his life

 

Jones Jr - guy has an insane ability to say something about a fight and then it happens within the round.

 

I loved listening to george foreman. I know I'm in the minority, but he was a class act.

 

Roy Jones Jr.

 

I have to give a shout out for Lewis. He did a great job. I can't see him leaving HBO base upon his performance. It must be something else.
