    I liked the awkward silence after Kellerman that remark about Vitlay proving his heart against Lewis.

    I can understand his criticizms, but ****, I like the dude and get a kick out of him. Always happy when Lennox is on the crew, myself.

    Worst color commentator for HBO that I could remember.

    Not at all, I enjoy listening to Lewis, he knows what he's talking about and makes excellent points.

    Lennox would look a lot better if he got to work with Lampley and Merchant the way Roy and George did. Unfortunately, he's put in the position of carrying the broadcast way more often than he should have to at this point.

    He's also needs another synonym for "definitely" aside from "absolutely".

    The problem that I have is that he seems to only comment on what Steward taught him. Its always so basic; he always talks about starting with the jab, and in my head I just picture either him or Wlad in there with the same Steward basic stuff. When you hear other guys, like when Jones was on HBO, he had deeper insight IMO.

    Lennox is pretty bad but he's not as annoying as Bobby Jizz.

    He may not be a professional broadcaster but he was the undisputed HW Champ of the world. How can he not know what he's talking about when it comes to boxing?

    he does, he just doesn't articulate it very well. You can tell the guy is a bit punchy.

    The problem is that some internet-kids do not understand what Lewis will say. Lewis knows the stuff about boxing. The kids not.

    So was George Foreman. You ever heard Foreman make any sense? :D LL is a **** commentator. He has the personality of a stone.

    I don't mind him. He's come a LONG way from when he started. Let's give him more time as long as he continues to improve.
