Why the hell did HBO Fire Lennox Lewis? They need to bring him in to replace Max.

    LL had a reputation as being a learned man, why I will never understand?:huh
     
  2. He is not a learned man. He never had the chance the Klitschkos had in terms of family support, a loving dad, and an great educational background.

    That didn't stop him from attempting to conduct himself in the most gentlemanly way possible despite fighting in a savage era where rapists, drunkards, and drug dealers invested the heavyweight ranks.

    He kept hold of his money and is now worth over 100 million dollars.

    He never had a PHD in Sports Science.
    But he sure as hell had a PHD in humanity.

    I have no idea how much of a humanitarian he was. The man earned more than the Kbros in his career but I highly doubt he has done as much for the underprivledged as the brothers!

    LL was a damn sight better than most of his contemporaries, I will grant you that.

    Lampley is the worst and most biased boxing commentator.

    Kellerman vs Atlas for most pompous self absorbed ass in boxing broadcasting. I have it a draw.

    Come on man, at least Kellerman knows what he's talking about.

    "He's just gotta stick that jab out there and build that house, gotta put da bugs on that windshield. I think the key for his opponent is gonna be the uppahcut. When that jab comes out, he's gotta slip undah it and BANG. Bring the uppahcut. If he does THAT, and keeps those windshield wipers up, then I think he's got a good chance of winning this fight."

    No, he doesn't. He is terrible at analysing a fight.

    I actually quite like Lennox as a commentator because he is a nice guy and is not biased. I would rather have Lennox than Max or RJJ.

    You're missing my point. They both think they are the messiah of boxing and go off on their self indulging, self righteous, self indulging rants on how the boxing world needs to do what they say and agree with them on every decision.

    He might have been understated but if you listened his insights were actually insightful and he stuck to what was going on in the ring as he should have for the most part. I don't need cheer leaders. Just stick to the facts of what is going on in the ring.
