Lennox Lewis as a commentator - what's ths issue ??

[Kirkland Laing]

It isn't rocket science but it's amazing how many rubbish commentators get jobs. HBO must hold auditions and try and pick the worst people possible to present their shows. Lewis gets a bit of a pass because of his pre-commentating job but people like Kellerman should be binned forthwith.

It isnt as easy as your think. There are fewer good commentators than rocket scientists I would bet.

A couple of fights ago he literally sounded like he had just woke up.Really stammering.Its funny when he gets all excited,KDs KOs and such.The ending of Maskaev/Rahman 2 .....His accent goes all over time and hes yelling.Statements actually sound like he is asking a question

Lennox is alright I don't have a problem with him. He doesn't really say anything stupid-or at least I can't think of anything stupid he has said right off the top of my head- but he doesn't improve upon the brodcast.

My biggest problem is he is robotic. I can't think of any broadcaster or sportsperson who is less of a natural at commentating than him.

When any other boxer or sportsman for that matter gets interviewed by their anchor man pre fight or pre sporting event they will talk to the guy asking them the question and sound natural like they having a conversation.

Lennox on the other hand stares straight at the camera and reads an autoqueue.

To my knowledge he's the only boxer commentator who does that.

Lennox is kinda dull 'tis true, and I don't think that London/American accent helps much, pronounciations are a bit all over the place.

But I have to say, another boxer who tried some commentating or "punditing" if you will, who bored the crap out of me with his monotone voice and total lack of charisma was John Thaxton a little while back on ITV, might have been the night of Fury vs Peret or something.

I'd have to say he's just boring and pretty full of himself.

George Foreman was A LOT better.

George liked to argue with Larry and Jim and put those two bitches in their place.

I remember when Wlad Klitschko first got KO'd, Larry was goin off about "This is a shock to the boxing world!"

And George was like "Its not a shock to the boxing world. I think its more of a shock to your world Larry."

hahaha
