Potential Replacements for Lewis as HBO Commentator

LOL, I can definitely see Nazim being great at commentator, but the old farts there who got their jobs as "gifts" won't be happy to have someone alongside them that actually belongs there.
Roach is OUT! He can barely talk for 3 minutes straight. Why would you want to put Roach on TV, except on a RAID commercial.
Other good candidates would be Mike TYSON, Larry Holmes (no more Foreman!), or better yet, if they can afford it, Angelo Dundee!

 

Tyson.

**** trying to watch a fight when paulie is going on.He would be a big spoiler.

 

Tyson would be ****in sweeeet agreed, and this suggestions just as unlikely,, but Johnny mutha****in TAPIA!! Amen

 

roach will be boring ...knowledgeable but boring

bro naz will have a few one liners :good

ricky hatton would be funny ...good banter

malignaggi is the best bet " IF " he retires .....funny ,fast talking , great knowledge of the sport , explains tactics well :thumbsup

 

kellerman v malignaggi would be funny .lol

 

I don't know... anyone who can string a coherent sentence together would be an upgrade from Lennox.

 

People who think Tyson would make a good commentator are the same idiots who thought Lennox Lewis was a good commentator.

 

Mike would be able to entertain everyone during the under cards that people can barely watch.:good

 

No he wouldn't. He's just as shy and speaks just as little as Lewis did. He's also about twice as hard to understand.

 

Baby Joe Mesi is the best ex-boxer commentator, and it's not even close imho. I don't know why he's not talked about more for this type of thing. He's articulate, very insightful, doesn't suck up to the fighters or the other commentators, he's just very good all around.

 

Mesi comes off smart but has ZERO on-screen personality. He'd bore people to death.

 

hmmm never considered that. Very interesting. He is a wise and well spoken mother****er.

Mancini and Paulie talk a lot, but they both stutter and talk WAY too fast. With some voice coaching they could probably do alright.
