    the only options you gave is either he keeps fighting which I don't think he should, or he replace Kellerman which I don't think he should. Why only two options. Roy as a commentator I don't like over Kellerman, and I am not a big Kellerman fan. I like Lennox Lewis to be honest and also Steward.

    Agreed 100%. This would be my vote if there were that option.

    Kellerman and Lewis have got to get the boot.

    Am I the only one who would love to see Roy commentate for Showtime alongside Tarver? Tarver does a pretty good job actually.

    And how the hell does Lennox Lewis still have a job at HBO? I mean you gotta respect the man's achievements in the ring, but he sucks behind the mic. Doesn't HBO realize how horrible he is?

    ANYBODY would be an improvement over Kellerman. If it was guaranteed that this would happen, I would celebrate!!

    I'm not big on Kellerman, but he brings more than Lewis. Lewis' delivery has improved (though still below what it should be), but what he delivers is still powder puff. HBO must be spooked by the optics of firing him - I thought Shannon Briggs was better.

    Maybe Roy's personality prevents him from handling the job professionally and HBO would be really wary of dropping Lewis only to have Roy blow up in their face again, but, yeah, Roy for Lewis makes sense to me.

    Kellerman is horrible first off he is so biased towards certain fighters and complains to much and dwells on the past like example when Jones is fighting hes bitching that it isnt Jones from 1997. As a post fight interviewer its embarrsing while he holds that microphone in his chest so we cant hear the fighter and he has a look on his face like hes shitting himself. RJJ,Lampley,Merchant was the **** back in 04-05 take Steward away to he predicts the fights to correctly in his mind "this fight is going exactly how I thought it would"
