    RJJ is my favorite commentator ever, I don't know anyone who brings more boxing knowledge to his commentary, although Paulie Malignaggi is brilliant too. Roy can be a "street talker" a bit, talking very fast, and not enunciating perfectly, but look beyond that, and he is brilliant. He sees things before they happen, he is amazing at calling out mistakes a guy is making; quite frequently you'll see a guy get hit by a big punch that he called. I remember Winky - Trinidad, he was discussing Tito's footwork. Lampley couldn't figure out why Tito was getting destroyed by the jab, since an orthodox fighter and southpaw should theoretically be able to neutralize the jab of the other. He pointed out the mistakes in Tito's footwork, and why he was getting jabbed to death. Literally in the first 30 seconds, he said Tito's footwork was completely wrong, he was flat footed, and moving in the wrong direction, and how he'd be getting caught with hard jabs all night... and the jab was what completely destroyed him.

    A good one was during Bika-Calzaghe, when I think Calzaghe had slipped or something, and Bika tried to take advantage and hit him. Whatever it was, Bika did something kind of dirty, as usual.

    Lewis, who once hit Mike Acey when he was down THREE times, tries to act like he was a clean fighter, says "I would not have done something like that".

    Max Kellerman, in perhaps his greatest moment as an HBO commentator, calls Lennox on his bs and says "Michael Grant would disagree that you wouldn't have done something like that"

    There is a long pause, and Lewis says "no comment"

    :lol:
