Basically Lampley will just feed him lines, make a statement and ask Lewis if he agrees, he always does but doesnt explain anything other than repeat what Lampley has said and then Lampley will do the elaboration.

He's just there as an iconic figure, the last great heavyweight champ but his input as far as commentary and fight insight is nil.

Roy Jones was great because he had opinions and would talk like he was actually watching the fight and was interested in what's going on.

With Lennox I usually picture him sitting in his booth getting his dreads plaited and being fed grapes and other fruits whilst signing autographs and occaisionally Lampley will push the microphone his way whilst a voice in his ear says 'Agree with Lampley just say this 'Exactly, what's happening right now is that......' and let Lampley take over again from there.


Jones doing colour commentary could make a nikolay valuev career boxset sound interesting

Im gonna go with the majority and just say that he brings absoloutely nothing to the table as a commentator apart from robotic like answers and gives the casual fight fan sitting at home absoloutely no extra insight into whats going on.

Lampley has been carrying a lot of the co-commentators for years now and his ability to call a fight all through the round enables merchant to bounce off him with one sentanced remarks every so often which he is rather good at.

Cant help but wonder though who would actually be responsible for telling Lennox Lewis former world heavyweight champion that he`s fired
