    When they were working for HBO, who was the best analyst of the four, and why?

    Jones. Jones really did say that certain things were about to happen. I remember in that Ward fight where Ward was being lambasted by the commentators that it seemed Jones was the only one who was watching the fight at the same time. He calls fights very well. Foreman comes out with comic value nonsense, but he's OK too.

    I gotta go with foreman..

    The comedic value outweighs any real commentary

    Bowe-holy 3

    Just before Holy put Bowe down for the first time in his career
    Foreman stood up and YELLED "STOP THE FIGHT" LOLOLOLOL


    you guys remember??

    Larry or Jim tried to calm him down and George said "THIS MANS GONNA END UP IN A PINE BOX"

    Lmao

    For that alone I pick George...

    We also gotta look at "look at this size of his shoulders..."

    And "sometimes where there's smoke...there's just a whole lot more smoke" :bears:

    i didnt watch the video LOK posted but i remember the 'not much is a lot' line from foreman and it was legitimately profound. goddamn robbery. that is the most money i ever lost betting on boxing and in the first fight i ever wagered on online

    My favorite moment from that entire thing is Flip Homansky's dry-ass white boy Jerry Curl.
