    TERRIBLE commentator, although me and my mate used to get a right laugh out of the stuff he'd come out with.

    What was one of them, in a Pavlik fight I think, "he's bleed from the nose, must have gotten punched in the nose"

    One of my favourite boxers but he wasn't a very good commentator. Despite being a cerebral boxer he wasn't the most articulate guy.

    I didn't mind him. Sometimes he'd say some really insightful stuff, here and there.

    And I love it when he'd say "IT IS OVAH!"

    They should really consider either letting Paulie Malignaggi or Kevin Kelly commentate, they'd both be great. Or even Hopkins.

    he was so horrible to the point that he was funny. If you guys listen to his commentary 2 years ago you'd think a 2 year old was behind a mic. Over those years he improved but still was ****.

    Oh man that is priceless.

    I liked how he could never say the word Malignaggi properly.

    I've never had a problem with any of the actual boxer-commentators. Lewis, Foreman, Jones, all much better than the Lampley, Merchant or Kellerman.

    Lennox is a horrible commentator.

    Couldn't stand that voice.

    Glad HBO fired him!
