Should 79 year old Larry Merchant Retire???

hbo is going to force that old bastard to die during a telecast, they're going to work his old ass into the grave. but he's damn good at what he does, who else comes up with little poems and the goofy shit he does. I think it's classy though. He adds class. He's a classy commentator and I like his Hemingway touch to the telecast.

I like Kellerman.....I don't understand the hate he gets. Me too, Max is cool. It's Lennox Lewis I can't stand!! :lol1:

HBO will suck a whole lot when Larry leaves. Then once Jim and Harold retire it might as well be in Russian. It will suck. Oh, and Larry is God.

I'd still rather roll his coffin out to ringside than listen to Max Kellerman.

That senile man needs to call it a day. His bias is too much to be a commentator. Replace him with Kellerman permanently, at least he creates unbias drama :lol1: I cant stand Larry Merchant, He has never laced up gloves in his life and just makes critical/bitchy comments about good boxers.

Its time for Larry Merchant to hang up the microphone.

I'll admit, on Saturday night, he did not sound good at all. I know he's an old man, but it sounded like he really aged since his last broadcast. I was thinking to myself, wow...he does not sound good at all. But whatever, the man loves his job, leave him be. I respect him for all his years of contribution to the sport and the way he tells things how he sees it. He's put plenty of commentators in their place when they are well deserving of it.

he should stay on

I think he is more entertaining and a bit more of a character then Max Kellerman. Max really gets on my nerves for some reason. max is on cocaine.

No, he's too funny. He's one of the most biased people on TV that i don't mind listening to. Yeah it's hard to imagine HBO boxing without Merchant, but he will need to be replaced soon, especially if Merchant gives the impression that he doesn't want to be commentating.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! Larry's rambling rants are not only hilarious but he's the undisputed king of real talk...who else would have cracked on mayweather for wearing a gladiator outfit at the Baldomir fight? I don't care if he starts nodding off, drooling, or repeating himself, keep that man on the air :biggthump I like Larry's commentating too, but if he doesn't have the passion anymore for commentating then he needs to be replaced. The question is who should replace Larry?

Merchant is HBO Boxing!!!!!!!!!! He should never retire especially if he's getting replaced by a loud mouth like kellerman who talks bigger than he walks. I still remember the time that some fan came in the ring and tried to interrupt his interview. I can't remember who he was interviewing but merchant like a pimp threw the fan out of the way haha all time great moment!!!!

Knowing that Kellerman is Larry's replacement he shouldn't retire, Kellerman is another cheerleader, I think we have enough with Lampley...

He's stuttering pretty bad. Larry merchant was great in his time but he loses his train of thought too often. But he should be able to leave on his own terms

Fights just wont be the same without Larry.... When he goes, it will be a sad day...Who would they replace him with?? Kellerman?? Lol..That bug eyed freak.. A scrawny looking wimp with a deep manly voice..It's absurd...
