    Yes get rid of Lewis.

    Jim is good. He'll be there for good.

    Kellerman is good too, sometimes over does it

    Steward can be a pain in the ass

    Keep Merchant FOREVER!

    Lewis is ****ing horrible. Roid knows his boxing, but can't control his biasness or emotions.

    Joe Mesi and Glenn Johnson are pretty good.

    Well he's a better fighter than commentator, that's for sure. I don't think he's really that bad, as long as Lampley and Merchant/Kellerman are there to neutralize him.

    But what are the alternatives?

    Foreman was talking more and more bull**** as he got older - "The referee is definitely going to be the most important man in the ring tonight, besides Ruiz and Jones". Sometimes he does a good job though. On Wlad vs Peter (2005), Foreman did quite well. But overall he says a lot of stupid things.

    Roy Jones is no longer the Jones of the 90's, whether you want to believe it or not. He's not only shot as a fighter, but also as a commentator. During his latest commentating jobs, he said little and seemed to be fighting his ego constantly, because he got knocked out. Still is i guess.


    Shannon Briggs is really good. Extra advantage: when he's commentating, he can't put us to sleep by being in the ring and having those 15 punch a round fights.

    He showed intelligence in the ring and a lack of it as a commentator. I think that Tyson, Toney, and Jones could do a better job than him.

    He's not the most fluent speaker and I do scratch my head at some of the comments he makes, make he is a good addition otherwise.

    I will pick lewis over Lampley and Kellerman anyday.

    kellerman is a douche and Lampley is just a fan boy who flat out sucks. If you notice Lampley is always saying the exact opposite of whats happening in the ring. they should get some one in there who will be entertaining. James Toney would be great as a commentator.

    I like Lennox as commentator. Much better than Foreman was. Foreman's commentary was confusing. Almost like he was watching another fight than the one he was commentating on.
