Larry Merchant

[kayjay]

The UK commentaters are good but ur right sumtimes they can be a bit biased! Lampley is probably the best! Roy Jones really knows his stuff too! Like El Tempile says Merchant duz hav sum good 1 liners but he aint my cup of tea by a long way!

I could live without him.

thats true. I love jim watt. He gets a lot of hate but he really knows what hes talking about. Im not against american commentators in general i think mannys got a good eye for technicalities similar to jim watt actually, but merchant ruins it all. i havent heard jones jr before has he done anything recent?

Nothin recent. I cant remember the last fights he did. But I always thought he was eloquent and always seemed to point out certain things a fighter was doing that the average person might miss. But usually Larry would try and burst his bubble.

YES! I've always liked RJJ as an analyst. Big George wasnt the greatest, imo, but was always entertaining. But Roy Jones was the best analyst HBO has had.

Entertaining as hell! Funny guy, always tried to make it seem like the fight could easily go the other way when clearly it was a one way beating! Didnt know too much tho. And Lewis? He is "Definatley" The worst!

Each to his own bud! But u gotta admit he knows his **** KayJay?

[!! Mr. Soprano]

he comes out with some classic 1 liner, and he says the things other commentators wouldnt say, to be honest hed be nothin without lampley

Agreed!

Even with the last part of it...

But nevertheless Larry is the best! Classic!!! HOF!!!!!

[Leo Pradun]

everyone hates him cause hes so straight forward and says what he thinks, Larry Merchant just dont care what you think.

. What is the deal with larry? he fumbles his lines which are said at about a quarter of a normal speaking speed.

Especially over the last few years you can see him slipping, call it a combo of old age and being drunk. Cannot believe no one mentioned his fondness for the booze while on the job. Its a well known fact that boxing insiders have joked about for decades.


He was good once but his best days are clearly behind him. Hell, anyone else notice how he barely spoke up much on the Castillo/ Hatton card?

Still one of my favorite Larry lines was in his Douglas-Tyson intro, that the fight was (paraphrasing) "A frog being fed to the snake," and then after the fight chuckling, "Well, I guess that frog was poisonous."
