Oh yeah he was. He played college ball for OU. He was a freak of nature for his size. My father played with him for 2 years at Oklahoma and said merchant weighed about 150 pounds but could bench upwards of 300. Said he could run the 40 in 4.4 seconds as well.

I have two points to make:
1. There really should have been a rematch with Zaragosa and McCullough. That fight was insane.
2. Larry Merchant is one of the greatest figures in boxing media's history. His integrity and will to go above and beyond to get the story is unsurpassed.Comment
