    Which of those 3 do you like most at the commentary next to Lampley and Merchant.

    1. Roy - I liked him the less couse many of the times i didn't realy understand what he was saying couse he spoke pretty fast but he knew how to put Merchant in his place :lol:

    2. Foreman - He has realy good knowledge of the sport, speaks clearly and his vocal expressions are always great ( OOOOOOO.. WOOOO. AUUUU.. etc )

    3. Stewart - Well he has the most knowledge out of the three no doubt. Speaks clearly and everytime he says something i always listen couse he has something smart and interesting to say.

    So my vote goes to Stewart.

    for entertainment purposes, I think big George was the best. He always said some funny sh!t.

    from an Analyst standpoint, I think Roy was by far the best they had. He had a lot of insight into fights and several times would predict things as the fight went along. Very knowledgeable about the sport...........the only issue was his pensacola accent!! :D

    Stewart is pure garbage! in both entertainment and analyst standpoints! Sorry

    Manny is by far the best of the 3.

    I remember in the first Mosley/ODH fight - the whole HBO staff was bashing everyone and their mother because Shane won the fight -but the very next week - Foreman was the first ass kisser when they brought Shane back on for an interview.

    Roy was pretty good - until he started getting KO'ed. After that - you could hear the lack of confidence when he would speak about what was going on in the ring.

    Manny was good then and he's still good now.

    They're different type of commentators.

    Foreman was more of an entertainment guy with some good calls and a lot of bad ones. Jones and Emmanuel are more the technical kind of commentators, which is what you'd like next to Lampley & Merchant.

    I like all three of them in a different way. They all have their downsides: Foreman can be a bit annoying with his bad advice (repeating on how Lewis should go to the jab when he was destroying Grant), Jones when he egotrips and Steward can be a little bit boring.

    George Foreman, absolutely, positively, 100%.

    Can't even understand RJJ's eubonic's & as far as Manny making a "smart" statement...Heres something he once said:

    He's definitely the slowest fighter I've ever SAW.

    :lol:

    Spot on. Steward is garbage. His comments change every month - depends on whose dick he's sucking on to make his living. :lol:

    I know alot of people dont like him, but HBO should consider Antonio Tarvar as a commentator. He is extremely articulate and seems to have good knowledge of the sport of boxing

    Yep yep, and my rating system also gauges on how often and how many times they told Larry Merchant to shut the **** up.
