Will you miss Merchant?

Hell to the NO! this^^^^^^^^^ X 100

For the people in this thread still thinking that Merchant might be replaced with an unbiased, younger commentator, it's already confirmed that Kellerman is replacing him full time. So it's Lampley, Jones, and Kellerman on WCB broadcasts. Jones was Steward's replacement and Kellerman is now Merchant's replacement.

In the past 2-3 years or so he really went down as a commentator. I don't know if he drinks on the job or he's a little senile but some of the comments he makes have me go ''WTF?''. So i guess i won't really miss him. He used to be a pretty good commentator but it's time to move on.

Yes, he was awesome.

When you have people like Lampley, Jones, and Kellerman ****ting up fights with their bias and countless other occurrences then yes you have no choice but to miss Merchant. He's the one to call it out like it was. Not at all surprised by the people that disliked him though. If you were a fan of a boring fighter he probably made you angry.

I'll miss him a lot. But it's time for him to go. He seems frail and is really slowing down. The "I wish I was 50 years younger" retort to Mayweather is one of the pound for pound best retorts in boxing announcer history.

Yes, him and Emanuel Steward will both be greatly missed by me. Already missing Steward when I watched the Pac fight.

I certainly will miss Larry, and everyone that has been watching HBO boxing should....love his quotes, Larry lines are freaking funny as hell, he asks the right questions I guess everyone comes to an end we just lost emmanuel steward without getting to say his final thoughts, 35 years is not just anything is a tough job and he is great at it, will miss Larry Merchant.....Max Kellerman is cool but no one will be like Larry/Jim DUO ever !!!! thats history right there

Yes. HBO Boxing for me isn't just the same w/out Larry Merchant

No. im a recent watcher of hbo broadcast and cant believe this guy used to be any good, he's terrible and makes kellerman look like a god in comparison

his drunk ass won't be missed.

HELL nawwwww...

Yes, he will be missed. Even by me lol.

Merchan was entertaining he'll do well.

not at all.......... This. Hopefully they replace him with a young, knowledgeable, unbiased guy. Preferably even an ex-boxer or a trainer.

Yes I will.

I miss the younger Merchant.....

Yes, i will greatly, you can't always agree to everything somebody says, but he's really done his job well as a commentator. i don't think he's biased when it comes to floyd and manny.

No. I much prefer Kellerman. Merchant's knowledge of the sport was confined to the superfights, which made his insights basically useless.

Yes. I'll miss him greatly.
