    Remember Merchant chiding Mayweather because the fans were booing him during the Baldomir fight?

    Those guys definitely have no love.
    Mayweather was offered the Margarito fight right after Judah, but still wasn't sure if Oscar was going to fight him in september. Oscar declined for then and Margarito was already fighting Clottey by then. Mayweather looked at Mosley, who declined, and then at Spinks, but due to bad backlash chose Margarito instead.

    If Mayweather had beat Margarito and shut him out, people would have said he should have fought Baldomir instead. Choosing Baldomir was the right move.

Merchant is a throwback!
            larry is a funny old dude and he's right on the money about floyd.

              Merchant is just a negative person, I seriously don't like the guy. I'd perfer Max although Max can be an attention whore. I mean Merchant, said the B-Hop vs Tarver fight was boring, throwing the "Wake me up when something happens" Then when B-Hop is outclassin Pavlik, he got the nerve to say "Well this isn't Pavlik's weight, he is ALOT better at 160" Fcuk Merchant, I just try my best to ignore the guy

                The great Mercent simply stated Mayweather was smart at deciding fights, no hate.

                      Merchant does the same to hopkins, he doesnt like fighters with certain styles. If floyd was Knocking people out all the time, hed have very little to say at all. in many ways, its almost a universal talking point to rip on floyd at this point.
