go to the end of tito bhop when foreman is on a total ride job of titos nuts trying to make tito out to be something hes not ... larry clearly asks forman why he isnt giving bhop the credit he deserves...

i dunno about yall but every time i see larry and hopkins together it always seems like larry gives him critisim and hopkins listens intentivitly ...if you recall he was going through pure bums untill larry said that then he went through joppy eastman delahoya and then fought taylor ....

they dont hate eachother just sometimes hopkins makes bad choices and larry tells him about it only hopkins listens to him

Larry Merchant SUX. George Forman hit the nail on the head when he asked Larry how many fights he had, or how many times he has actually boxed inside a ring... Larry's response was something like, well I have watched tonnes of fights dating back to .... Who cares what you've seen, there are hundreds of thousands of people that have watched tonnes of fights.
I can't stand listening to a guy tell me about the fundamentals of a sport that he really doesn't even understand, and then I have to watch him get into the ring and grill fighters on their performance too. Sure he does ask the "hard questions", but anyone can do that. The guy has no talent, no clue about the sweet science of boxing, and I shouldn't have to pay to hear a fool run his mouth about something he doesn't even undertand (but thinks he does; yeah and like I could tell Babe Ruth how he should have hit a ****in' fast ball! Then try and sell it to a baseball fan on PPV, it wouldn't happen). Take Teddy Atlas or any other trainer, or take Lennox Lewis, who (although he needs a lil work on his presentation of words), was awesome in breaking down the Judah Mayweather Fight, (I especially liked how he was able to comment on the right hand left hook combos which; (not to take anything from the p4p best alive, but I felt that Mayweather could have used the same combo even more often to get the KO he wanted by the end of the fight). Thats what I like to listen to when I watch boxing, ESPECIALLY ON PPV (when Larry starts babbling I usually press mute and just watch). I say FIRE MERCHANT and bring in big George or Roy or Lennox full time. Jim Lampley and Manny are awesome and Lampley leaves the science to the fighters and makes great comments on what he actually sees. As for Merchant, next time he goes off on a bull**** tantrum about something he has no real clue about he should go off the air for good.

Actually I used to be a boxer (as was my dad and grandfather) and recently starting doin' ring announcing and even a lil commentary myself, and I help produce local fights to try and build this sport up again (So I I kinda know what I am talkin about since I was raised around boxin). If you took your head outta you ass long enough to read what I said, or long enough to actually watch a fight, you'd see 9 times outta 10 the guy "Merchant" has no clue. I'd prefer someone who knows and understands the sweet science to be doing the color commentary rather than a fool with a big mouth. I gave a few examples of people that have done a great job. Even take Max, the kid couldn't fight his way outta a wet paper bag with a hole in it, but he understands the sport and doesn't make unnecessary racist or derogatory comments towards athletes with more commitment to their craft than Larry could dream of attaining. (I don't know who he is blowing to keep his job but no matter how you look at it LARRY SUX)

[Johnny Blayzz]

Oh yeah and look at how many posts I've done and how many points I have (not that it's a tonne), then do the same for the guy who made that last post biggin up Larry cuz it's his job. The President of the biggest (most powerful) country in the world wasn't even elected by the people in his first term and he still has a job, who are you kidding...?

[psychopath]

It is obvious that Larry has always been bias towards some fighters. But Racist NAH . . . I don't think so.

[-EX-]

I like Lampley and Steward, but I have noticed he does kind of sound disrespectul or mean to certain fighters sometimes. I don't think he is a racist though.

[machotime]

Larry Merchant is the second reason why I purchase PPV.

He is the best commentator ever.

Judah/Mayweather fight- he said this

"Judah has a mouth full of diamonds,...... but its too bad they are in a glass setting" LOLOLOLOLOL
