Merchant should only call fights for guys like Pacquiao and Margarito since he only likes an aggressive offensive style with no regards to defense. If Merchant only likes watching glorified bar fights so be it, he is entitled to like whatever he wants. However, it would be in everybody's best interest for Larry to never call fights for guys like Mayweather, Hopkins, or even a guy like Ward again. This way nobody has to hear his constant b1tching and complaining anymore. Personally, I think Larry is a sorry excuse for a commentator and I will put the TV on mute anytime he's ever calling a fight.
Larry is biased towards exciting fights and fighters.
I don't blame him for not getting excited over a sucker punch.
HBO without Larry will not be HBO.
Merchant is legend and he proved why last Saturday.
Then why did he hate Hagler(who was a threat to SRL), besides the fact that Merchant was slurping on SRL?

The Concords coming out in December 23! Can't wait man.
HBO should hire Vince McMahon, for the next big PPV, just for the post fight, to tell Larry Merchant.
"You'reeeeeeeeeee FIRED!!!"
A commentator that for the most part only props up one style of fight or fighter. In a sport with multiple styles that are affective. lol Dont know how people like or accept this.

not sure, but the ayala one in real time is bad ass :D
@ 6:26
Ayala had lots of determination but wasn't very good. He got three undeserved wins against Tapia, Dianzo and Adams. And he was too small to fight Morales and Barrera.
Sr's too biased. Sr had Floyd losing his fight with De la Hoya.
So let’s scratch out Mayweather Sr then and instead put Floyd filling out the unofficial score card in between rounds? Is that acceptable?
I got a better solution to the problem, in order for Floyd to stop his tantrums in front of the camera. How about letting Roger Mayweather and 50 cent do the commentating and Leonard Ellerbe will be doing the blow by blow. While Ms. Jackson as the ring girl and Mayweather Sr doing the unofficial score card. I bet you Floyd won’t get piss of again.

I think Merchant should have done the Klitschko-Adamek fight, since Kellerman hates Europeans.
And Kellerman should have worked the Mayweather fight, since he's always loved Floyd so much.
how so? kellerman is white.
