    Holy shit. Marv Albert calling boxing with Ray Leonard. Feels like 1985.

    Thoughts?

    My thoughts are thank JESUS we get to listen to Marv Albert over Mauro Renalo.

    And let's predict how long it'll take Ray to use his favorite line, "When I fought Tommy Hearns the first time........"

    He does a great job mimicking the way Leonard pauses and blinks between talking to person and the camera.

    Not Saying he'll Be GREAT, but Leonard's a BETTER Public Speaker Today, than he was Back when he Regularly Commentated...

    it wasnt so much his delivery as he didnt bring as much insight as other fighters who have done color commentary.

    They should get Floyd Sr or Roger Mayweather. Not because I think they'd be good, I would just love to see how long the network would go before they say fuck it and break out the subtitles.

    Leonard will probably say something utterly ridiculous during the broadcast like, "Guerrero reminds me of Roberto Duran."

    Ray Leonard is kinda like boxing's version of Magic Johnson.

    Both were the among the best of all time in their respective sports, yet it doesn't really translate into any real insight as an analyst.

    Granted, Leonard is a better analyst than Magic. Magic is a fucking HORRIBLE analyst.

    Agreed. I never watched a lot of basketball but when Bill Walton is a better analyst than you it's pretty bad. Magic was simply awful.

    Walton was always the George Foreman of the NBA. Provided no insight, but was entertaining because of the outlandish, strange shit he would always say.

    Walton and Foreman should call a neutral sport game together, perhaps an NFL game. It'd the weirdest, and funniest shit of all time.

    Magic didn't really provide anything other than "enthusiasm". Kind of like his lame talk show. "Isn't this fun!? We're having fun, this is exciting!"
