Lennox Lewis is a horrible commentator

"Yeah, Parker, he is... ready to fight... let's go!"

 

Id love it if they put Lewis, Dubois, and maybe Juan baby bull Diaz ass commentators just for the laughs

 

I agree and add Paulie Mags to that list. He is particularly good at pre and post fight analysis.

Mora without Mannix is quite good. I was impressed when he said "Fatigue makes cowards of us all". I have no idea is he realized he was paraphrasing Shakespeare but I'd like to think he knew the original quote. I doubt it though.

 

It comes down to vocabulary and being quick witted

Lewis is a product of the 60s-80s. All he ever did was box. He never worked a day in his life. His academic studies took a backstep to his boxing and his social circles were full of like minded people and not educated people.

It a story repeated over time.

Not every boxer will be eloquent.

Mike Tyson learned his "eloquence" though Bill Clayton, Jim Jacobs, Cus D'Mato (all esteemed, educated and philosophical people) and upper social circles via fame at a young age.

In contrast, Lewis came from Jamaica to Britain to Canada. His mother spoke thick patois, his social demographic was on the lower rung and he never had the same mentoring that Tyson did.

 

No, Tim Bradley is by far the worst commentator of all time, but that doesn’t say too much, even a mute person is better than Bradley.

 

He's awful. I did like his Joe Rogan interview though. Thought he'd be more arrogant and guarded but he came across well.

 

LOL General George Patton and Vince Lombardi said that.

 

Hamlet. Act iii scene 1.

"Conscience doth make cowards of us all:".

Shakespeare lived way before Patton and Lombardi. They were paraphrasing old Willie.

 

If you really want a laugh then you need to get Joe Joyce out there, that presser with Dillian Whyte was hilarious, I’ll try find it for ya

 

The worst for me is definitely Tony Bellew, my guilty pleasure is Adrian Bronner (I know I shouldn’t) it could be the horrific suit choices that draw me in, I don’t know I just know it’s not right man

 

Been saying this for years. He sounds dumber than a rock!

“Because… when you listen to your trainer.. and he tells you something.. and it works… the next time he tells you… you will be like… Ohhh ok, I really do?? And you’ll go do it”





“IT’S OVAHHH!!”

 

Yeah man I do

 

Agree..id probably prefer him over Bradley though.
