HBO completely disrespected Lennox Lewis

Worst logic ever.

 

I find it slightly disturbing that they bring in Roach to replace Lewis. It's almost like they're saying, "We're going to show the world that even a guy with slurred speech is better than you."

I'm probably missing something though. They're probably looking for a guy with more boxing knowledge from a technical standpoint. Roach definitely has Lewis beaten in that sense.

 

is newbie your fav word moron?atsch

 

Roach can barely talk!!! And he's hard to look at. If anyone over there in hbo had half a brain they would get Tyson or Bernard. Someone with personality. Freddie roach!!! My tv will def be on mute during the fights.

 

funny how you got to listen to such muppets like merchant and lampley for so many years. i've watched a fair few of their commentating, and everytime i think to myself that americans have to listen to this garbage on every HBO fight. bollocks to HBO.

 

Bring in Atlas and Tarver, job done.

 

I always liked Ray Leonard on the mic.

 

I like to hear the punches and such but I do turn the volume down for that reason ...hate bang bang, beats my wife Lampley ...Merchant may be a drunk biased old man but he does ask the tough questions fans wanna hear ..unlike Kellerman who should be second in line behind Lewis in getting fired.

 

He was Emmitt Smith bad and because of that he got debacled

 

Lennox was alright. I like to see Tarver on HBO.

 

Lewis is a fat homo

this whole thread is extremely gay

 

Me neither

 

I want Chris Arreola as a commentator.

Lampley: Vitali Klitschko is unstoppable! Bang! Bang! Take that Sosnowski! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Arreola: Vital IS a strong mother****er, drinking that ****ing German beer and-

Lampley: Bang! Bang! Bang!

Arreola: Yo, Jim, you're ****ed up, homes.

Max: He's on coke, Chris. What do you think about Sosnowski's hook?

Arreola: I should try some of that coke, ****, make me lose some weight, right? That Sosnowski's a tough mother****er, ****in' around with that **** cuz Vitali's ****in' tough, yo.

Lampley: Bang! Try to hit me with your hook, huh? How about this? Bang! Bang!

Arreola: Yo, Max, Jim's pretty ****in' high, ain't he?

Max: Didn't leave a milligram left on the stripper's ass, Chris.

Arreola: Yo, I gotta party with you ****in' white boys some more, some time.

Lampley: Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang! (thud)

Arreola: He's ****in' convulsin' and **** and like foamin' at the mouth, homes.

Max: Looks like Pernell Whitaker the last time I saw him.

Arreola: Why you keep talking about Pernell Whitaker all the time, Max?

Max: It's how I roll, *****.

Arreola: Cool. We should call like a ambulance or something though, cuz he's really ****ed up.

 

give us Tyson!

 

Lewis sucks -- SUCKS -- as a broadcaster. HBO was tired of trying to hide that reality every time Lennox worked a fight.

He is incredibly biased and often comes off as a bit aloof. I actually have grown to like him and accept him for what and who he is, as a person, but he's simply not a good fit for a TV production of HBO's stature.

Let's hope HBO fills his slot with a better choice.
