The original Floyd-hater. The only guy he hates more than Floyd is Judah.
He went in on Judah.
I remember he was talking about Judah's diamond grill. "Mouth full of diamonds surrounded by a field of glass" or something among those lines.
Merchant was never extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the technical aspect of the sport but he's very good at reflecting on a fighter's career or the state of the sport, while bringing up the occasional great quote or anecdote.

People always think if you tell the truth then it is hating. Merchant has said a lot good and positive things about Floyd over the years but people tend to overlook that. Merchant was relentless on Hopkins and his style for years but he was just keeping it real.

I give my props to Teddy as well. I have a lot of respect for him.
Merchant is the realest guy in boxing. It's a shame he's retired, but good thing he still does this stuff.

I always appreciated his opinion and he always asked the questions that fans wanted to know without the BS.
Max Kellerman likes to dickride first before he gets down to business.
Larry Legend is sorely missed.
Sports broadcasting HOF's usually are.
Glad to see he's still around the sport he loves even after his retirement.
Like he used to say, "You can never retire from the sport of Boxing. It eventually retires you."
I would tend to agree.
I actually think he's really only semi-retired, he covered Zou Shiming's debut card from Macau and I'm pretty sure I heard him on another international broadcast too. I would prefer him over Kellerman any time.
I'm not sure, maybe he is only half way there.
Kellerman should stick to baseball. That's pretty much what I think of him.

LOL Seriously?
Seriously what? That I like him? yes. That he speaks the truth, yes. That he's more knowledgeable than you could ever hope to be in your wildest dreams? Absolutely.
