    I actually think Kelly Pavlik is a good talker...maybe too soon for him, but could be one for the future.

    Even though I hated him as a fighter, Tarver is a pretty good commentator. I guess he put that mouth to good use.

    Good! Lewis is awful. Whatever genius he has when it comes to boxing, he cannot articulate - that is for sure. Tarver is awful too, by the way.

    Fighters who are probably under consideration:

    Bernard Hopkins
    Kelly Pavlik
    Kostya Tszyu

    why would Tszyu would even be in the stratosphere of HBO. He never fought for them and he's unknown in the US save for super harcore guy's like us. Plus he lives in Australia and his english isn't perfect. No way in hell he even gets an interview for the job imo.

    They should get my boy Johnny Ruiz now that he's retired. Ruiz, in the later years of his career, turned out to be a very good speaker. Just look at his interview on CNN if you don't belive me. Plus, it woul alway's make for good TV whenever Ruiz say's a fight's boring.

    Shane Mosley? He speaks so well. And he already has that nonstop fakeass smile down.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    Moorlignaggi would be worse than Kellerman in his 'leanings' ,.. couldn't imagine how hard he'd suck that dick in a Mayweather fight,...

    ugh. Fuck that. Here's to never seeing Ruiz on TV ever again. Boxing is already so much better now that he's gone.

    Him and Tim Bradley were both great when they co-hosted FNF. They should have a great career after boxing with commentating.

    Roach wouldn't be good as a commentator, nor would he have the time

    They should give Mike Tyson a chance. He knows his boxing more than any one else. People like listening to him.
