He just is... lolol.... He jumbles words, says the obvious and jumps in with nonsensical jibberish that is almost always off.

Was he that bad? He is normally articulate and measured when he speaks.
Yes he’s bad in general, kind of the same way Foreman was bad. He sounds more articulate because of his accent and the way he postures and pauses before saying nothing, kind of like Eubank sr though not on that level. Ive seen him interviewed more low key and he comes across fine, commentating just isnt for everyone I think.
Definitely
Seems he picked up right where he left on HBO. In fairness the whole crew of Chris Meyers and Goosen need some work. Lewis is also the first commentator I've ever seen who wrapped himself in a blanket during a broadcast because it was too cold ;D.
Not everyone's cut out to be a commentator. Lennox could be the commentator at a World Cup final and put half the people to sleep.
Which proves how British he really is (: No Canadian would feel the cold so much.Quote:

He was born he and lived here for 12 years. The problem with your argument is that poor kids all over the country will have the being born in Britain is not enough to make you British used against them all their life. To want to claim you are not British after being born and brought up here is fine if you are an adult, but not very helpful if you are a kid.Quote:

It’s not about where you’re born, it’s about what you are. Deep in your soul, what you truly feel and believe you are. The only time Lewis, along with Rusedski, Budd , Pietersen and many others ever wanted to be British was during their careers.Quote:

What did they contribute to “their country” before or since? Where do they call home? Do they feel British now?
It’s bollocks , you know it and I know it.
The problem is that you think I’m having a pop at Britain, and I’m not. Every Country does it, repatriating people just for their sporting prowess, and in some sports , Italians are the worst at it.
It’s the way of the World, but my point is that we don’t really have to swallow it too much do we?
Lewis just isn’t very good as a commentator. But at least he isn’t so biased and annoying like many others
Wasn't there some Jamaican roots on that family tree too? Not sure what part of that rubbed off over career but it may have been what helped him get caught adrift and coasting twice and sparked out ;D. No blankets to help when you're caught cold :-X.Quote:

Lennox is that talented he can do 3 accents when he does his interviews for Canadian, Jamaican and English TV.
I’ve never heard his English accent. Dick van Dyke did a better English accent than him!Quote:

I used to absolutely hate Mauro. I couldn’t stand him. I have gotten used to him though. He isn’t my favorite, but I don’t find him quite as annoying as before. He really gives no insight whatsoever. He is just fortunate that he has great commentators around him.Quote:

He's actually got much better at the job over the years.
LL has a high ring IQ, but doesn't have the ability to explain it. Some use the word dumb, to which he probably is.
LL IMO is a low IQ dude with millions and millions of dollars.
I recorded his last outing and thank goodness but really give him a break as I was having trouble sleeping. Knocked me right out and I woke up at nine the next morning U.S. Eastern time and I had coffee, oatmeal and two eggs over easy. I'm just glad we weren't boxing.
MAMA MIA!!!:oQuote:

Long gone are the days of Barry Tompkins at Showtime.
I think Lennox is just into the fights like a fan would be and he has to force himself to talk every once in a while as that's what hes being paid to do .... so the content/quality of what he says is going to suffer. Like your lady coming to you in the middle of watching a fight to tell you her feelings about what one of the neighbors did. Your going to give her a non definitive answer to fill the requirement that you heard what she said even if it doesn't help her at all (because you weren't really listening).
her: I don't like her planting a tree that close to our property line... i'm gonna kill her...
you: *staring intently at the screen* yeah, i don't know... Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, babe...
her: *rummaging through your kitchen drawer* "didn't we have a big knife?!?-- got it!!" *front door slams*
*Commercial between rounds* you: "WHAHH.. WAIT..." So, you run outside to stop a murder and find your lady out there hacking branches that are hanging over your side of the fence...
Lennox is getting paid for one of the best seats in the house..
He says stupid, awkward and obvious stuff. :cool:Quote:
