    ppl always claim he got out of boxing with very little injury but from some on the comments hed make during a fight you'd be lead to believe otherwise

    Lennox was always like that - He was a natural dope.

    he called kelly pavlik a "tough cookie" :lol: to hear those words come out such a large man's mouth coupled with the british accent was priceless.

    He's not bad, there are a lot of good things he says sometimes if you pay attention. Though most of the time I agree he can be very boring or basic.

    People are always so critical of commentators. Makes me wonder because only a small percentage of your attention should be given to them. The majority goes to the action inside the ring. That's always been my routine at least. As for Lewis, he wasn't that bad. I mean he doesn't talk like a witty politician but I understood everything he said and he didn't talk too much or too little which should be good enough.

    At least with Lewis he actually had a clue about boxing unlike the HBO muppets today

    I liked Lennox.


    "He has to use the jab Jim"


    "He is using the jab lennox"


    "But he has to double it, triple it even"

    lol.

    I think Lennox was ****. It seemed to me that he never really had his own opinion on things, he always agreed with whatever Jim or Larry said
