i was very happy to see larry this past saturday, it's been long over due. i really hope hbo can hang in there for a lil while longer. it'll be a very sad day to see larry hang up his mike. i've been watching him since the early 80's
I like Merchant as well, but cmon guys, Max Kellerman is what boxing needs right now. He puts energy back into the sport, and my friends who aren't boxing fans enjoy the fights a lot more when he is commentating.
i agrre larrys the man but he seemd a lil off on sat
He seemed a lil off to me as well. Larry has been great for boxing for many years. I hope all is well with him.
^ Jimmy the Greek & Larry Merchant were good friends back in the day. How old are some of you people? Duh. And I am sure they both though alike.
Again what are you talking about?
I know Larry Merchant & his friend Jimmy the Greek were sick to there stomachs when Obama became president for reasons other than politics. I have never been a fan of people like that.
WTF are you talking about?

I haven't always agreed with Merchant but I've always liked and respected him. To be honest, last Saturday was the first time Merchant's age really stood out to me. He looked older than Ive ever seen him look during a broadcast and has slowed considerably. I have a lot of old VHS tapes my dad made and some of them are from the 70's with Merchant calling the fights. One that stood out was Ali-Shavers. It will be sad when he finally hangs it up.
Yea Merchant's the man. I hope he stays healthy and can do some more .broadcasts. I also enjoy Max Kellerman. He just needs to get tougher. When he got the mic taken out of his hands that was embarassing. Could you imagine that happening to Dunphy or even Merchant. No because their thicker skinned. You need to put the fighters in their place to a certain degree.

For me,HBO boxing is just not the same without Merchant commentating.
...was very much disappointed when wasn' tthere for the Pac/Clottey fight.
I'm gonna really REALLY miss the 0ld man when he retires.

Agreed. Larry's the man. He's not gonna be commentating much longer sadly so we should appreciate him while he's still around.
I'm gonna miss the old fart when he retires.
