Lennox Lewis. Awful. Great fighter no doubt but just a horrible commentator.
I Guess with Lennox, he tries, eh? LOL! Paulie is ok, just takes a round or 2 for me. Is it his "Bronx" accent that makes him talk so fast! Eventually it all comes together I can understand him. Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson are my top boxers turned commentators. Gil Clancey & Howard Cosell are my GOATs.
Dan Dierdorf former NFL player did ABC boxing, when he did his, he knew when to talk, let it rest, no cheerleader.
Special shutout to Manny Steward, the only one that can pick both fighters to win, then at the end- claim he knew all along who would win!
I end as I started, Lennox is just awful, but not in a biased way. In a commentator way, sad to say/
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
