    Lewis is a nice lad and all but he had no business getting the job in the first place. His commentary was dreadful.

    I liked listning to him . Some one who only talks when they have somthing good to say makes listning to them much easier.

    It was his choice to leave. Besides he was ten times better than Kellerman is. Hes horrible.

    Kellerman is a terrific rapper. What are you talking about?

    Lewis is better than Lampley and Merchant due to the fact those 2 don't have a clue about the sport. Maybe you don't care the commentator don't know what they're talking about and score a fight. Roy was 1 of the best they've had.

    Good, he was horrible.

    I'd take Roy over him any day.

    I am probably in the minority here, but I really liked Lennox as a commentator. I thought he would be around for a while. I read a lot of people's opinions on here that completely disagree with me and that's ok. I hope it isn't true that HBO let him go.

    I preferred Foreman, but I had no problem with Lewis' commentary.

    Has Larry Holmes ever been given a chance?

    They should get Hopkins when he retires.

    I'm fine with it. Just cause you have achieved things in the ring doesn't mean your a fit for commentating outside of the ring. I actually cammend HBO for keeping him on as long as they did. A lower budget network with less class would have canned him years ago. He isn't horrible but he's brutally inconsistent. And has never had what I would call a good fight or memorable call. After four years if things aren't getting any better its not a big deal to want to go in another direction.

    Bernard Hopkins is the best man to do this job.
