Lamps doesn't miss Big George

Different strokes I guess. I agree with you tho... I liked Roy WAAAAY better than George. And I'm starting to like Tarver more than all of the former boxers or trainers.

I could see how George could be annoying to work with...

 

I agree. One thing Merchant does well...is try to minimize that out during the post-fight interview.
And it was obviously a little offensive to George, and we both know it probably best not to offend him

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Roy again as well.
Now that he is not Superman, hopefully he has stopped referring to himself in the third person and talking about himself so much.

 

Tarver always rubbed me the wrong way when he was a fighter. His attitude and personality just turned me off. Since he's been doing commentary though, he's changed my opinion of him - there's no denying he's very good at it.

I've always though Hopkins would be a natural. His personality combined with an unparalleled knowledge of boxing make him a guaranteed success imo. When he finally hangs the gloves up, I expect HBO to offer him a job.

 

George wasnt that good from a technical stand point and he didnt bring much of his ring experience into the discussion or in depth strategy. RJJ did more of that but he was terrible at ennunciating. Foreman was the opposite, bad on the technicals and biased, but he had a ton of charisma and was a good laugh.

I havent seen Mesi yet but I seen Hopkins before on ESPN and he was really good. I remember Tarver being good too.

 

Yeah? Then you tell me it was inappropriate of Lampley to 'mention' your religion. Well guess what? It's perfectly fine for him to 'mention' your religion or any other religion if it's germane to the conversation, and it was. Re the cartoon thing, I don't care what the 'reason' was for trying to kill the cartoonist. Nobody from your religion has any right to impose your beliefs on anyone else, any more than a christian or a buddhist does, and anybody who thinks some humorist deserves to die for drawing a cartoon is a savage. A primitive.

 

Where in my statement did I say anyone should die? Again, you are basing your reason from the media. I was simply trying to encourage you to try to investigate things before you make yourself look ignorant. As far as Lampley mentioning Islam. Well, that would be ok except he was making mention in a negative way. If you can't see that then we can just disagree. I personally don't care what you think.

You keep saying "imposing our beliefs", what are you referring to? I definitely didn't impose any of my beliefs on you or anyone else. Are you referring to the people who were angry about the cartoon? Well, those people had a right to be angry. Christians wouldn't like it if someone made a cartoon mockery out of Jesus. Now, I am not saying that angry people don't go too far, because they do sometimes. Again, if you see some bad behavior in a Muslim, blame the person, not the religion.

 

Basically, I see Muslims as being about at the point Judaism was about 2500 years ago, with the public stonings, beating of women for not being muslim enough in public, the constant fatwas and whining, the 'plucking out of the eyes' and 'driving them into the sea', etc.... I just wish they would hurry up and become civilized.

 

Will you shut the **** up? Being muslim and being a muslim extremist arent the same thing. Who the **** are you to qualify an entire religion of people as "uncivilized"?

 

:dealExactly

I didn't write these headlines, and in many cases this is government sponsored activity. In other words, the will of the entire society. Whether it's brutal, backwards and uncivilized or not is up to your judgement, I guess. I would say it is.

 

George Foreman, showed that technically he understoond boxing....

I like the emotion he brought to the game, and he was very flamboyant.

I miss him..

 

I liked Roy's commentary as well - but Foreman always had a way of stating things to make you think about what he said. They were strange malapropisms of boxing wisdom that would rattle around inside your head all week.

And he's right - one should never follow a puncher around!

 

I didn't think George was any good at commentating. I think Lampley the professional wanted someone a little more credible like Jones or Lewis.

 

Islam isn't a society you fool. Its a religion with many different interpretations and sects.

You don't see why associating the actions of a select few extremists with a world wide population of 1.57 million is a problem?
