Larry Merchant Quote of the day thread

In between the 3rd and 4th round of Campbell vs. Casamayor: "Get the fukk outta here!!" :lol1:

I think the best lines came from when he dissed Mora's performance lol I can't remember any of them but man he roasted Mora... Morales is taking tremendous punishment in this round, even a rock will break open if you hit it often enough...LOL

Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr as the fighters are walking to the ring: ''Why is Oscar De La Hoya a Box Office superstar, . . . while Floyd Mayweather is a boxing star? Because Oscar won a gold and Floyd won a bronze? Because Oscar was a handsome man and Floyd was a nice looking man? Because Oscar has a crowd-pleasing style and Floyd does not?'' - Larry Merchant

Lampley: "So, Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the welterweight championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying that he's under appreciated and vows that he's only going to fight one more time. What's goin' on?" Merchant: "I think he bored himself to tears, Jim."

"Chris Byrd has two punches - pitty and pat."

"Calzaghe not only schooled Lacy......but he flunked and expelled him"

"Larry some people say Mike Tyson is predictable....." - Lampley the response..... "Jim.....so is a hurricane....but what can you do about it"

"what do you mean calm it down... it's a fight.....referees telling two fighters who want to fight to calm it down??...he should calm down....nobody paid to see this referee...."

"This is, as Mayweather put it, flawless against jawless."-- Larry Merchant--Zab Judah vs Floyd Mayweather. lol

Steward : "I think he should back him up, that's he way to beat him" Merchant : "Back him up at your own risk" *Referring to Pacquiao

I like of how he said Chad Dawson was making excuses when Dawson said he wasn't after the Pascal fight. ahahha i was laughing my ass off. he owned dawson :headbang:

"In boxing the tortoise never wins"

"death by a thousand left hands"

'Mike Tyson likens the professional fight to being on a date. Of course Tyson's idea of a date is Wham Bam, thank you sir.'

We thought Manny Pacquiao was great, he's much better than we thought.

I love Merchant, but didn't think that one was too hilarious ;) its not funny cause of the words its funny because of the randomness coming from a 70+ y/o man zingggggg

Can't remember who said it, because I was drunk... but during the Mosley/Mora fight, there were some good ones... "He couldn't knock a glass off the table with a running start" "Mora is now fighting southpaw.." ....."No, Mora is now STANDING southpaw"
