Merchant Bashed Floyd Jr. anyone else hear it?

I aint really mad at Merchant. I wouldn't like Floyd either if he shitted on me in front of everyone on camera... The part about Shane is stupid tho IMO. Shane's been past prime. If Floyd fought him now or last year people would say Shane is an old man(which he is).

During the Soto-Benoit fight. Merchant absolutely hammered Floyd Jr. about cherry picking his opponents. It's clear he hates Floyd Jr. Merchant is the man! Only he will go on aire and lay it all out as he and the rest of the boxing world sees it. Floyd ain't got nothing legacy wise in future, unless he can do something to change boxing historians minds. Merchant is a throwback! :boxing: Larry Merchant is a great man :usa2:

Larry is the man. he doesn't like floyd but so what? he lets it be known.

He wasnt bashing he was telling the truth (on cherry-picking). He said he wants to fight the best, yes, the best fighter 2 weight class down his own. Whatta faggit.

You can't deny that that's true. which would explain why his tooth hurt in 06?

What round of the Humberto Soto Vs Benoit Gaudet did merchent say this? I believe the first or 2nd. But I'm not sure.

Thought it was completely off basis, especially the part about wanting to only fight Mosley when he's shot. You can't deny that that's true.

What round of the Humberto Soto Vs Benoit Gaudet did merchent say this?

Merchant does the same to hopkins, he doesnt like fighters with certain styles. If floyd was Knocking people out all the time, hed have very little to say at all. in many ways, its almost a universal talking point to rip on floyd at this point.

what round of the soto fight did he say these things?

so nobody knows what merchant said word for word

The great Mercent simply stated Mayweather was smart at deciding fights, no hate.

Max Kellerman called out Floyd after one of the HBO events ended... it was like a 3 minute bit.. just kellerman and the camera yeah I remember that. that shit was classic.

Damn... Nobody has it on dvr ? so they can repeat what he said accurately... Who has this fight on DVR? and what round was merchant saying all this shit?

Mosley-Mayweather has never been good because of timing on both sides I will agree with that. Margarito wanted Mayweather but Mayweather chose Baldomir. He got the same money basically and lineal, but Margarito had been petitioning for that fight for a long time. Remember Merchant chiding Mayweather because the fans were booing him during the Baldomir fight? Those guys definitely have no love. Mayweather was offered the Margarito fight right after Judah, but still wasn't sure if Oscar was going to fight him in september. Oscar declined for then and Margarito was already fighting Clottey by then. Mayweather looked at Mosley, who declined, and then at Spinks, but due to bad backlash chose Margarito instead. If Mayweather had beat Margarito and shut him out, people would have said he should have fought Baldomir instead. Choosing Baldomir was the right move.

When Shane was moving up. That was what Merchant was pissed about. Bullshit, Floyd called out Shane so he could be his last fight at 135 and Shane backed off. He called him out AGAIN after he beat......someone and was like "Floyd Mayweather will fight ANY fighter I don't duck NOBODY." I mean when you fight Deigo Corrales (RIP) when he was number 5 p4p and KO'ing everyone around it's hard to call you a ducker. An opportunist is more like it.

this thread is worthless without a vid

Merchant didn't rip May he just speaks the truth!

missed it...we switched over to Bulls-Celts for most of that fight Funny I was doing the same.
