I think he's the best commentator in the world, so...nope.
Merchant has by far the best fight analogies and metaphorical comparisons. He usually is on point with his predictions and is not afraid to call a guy out.
I don't agree with everything Merchant says, but I love the fact that he will speak out against the boxing establishment. When he believes he smells something rotten, he will say so for the world to hear.
He is old school in that he likes go forward fighters, but everyone has their preferences.
I also don't think he speaks too low. I think it is Lampley screaming constantly and finishing everyone's sentences. Lampley pisses me off. One of the other guys notices something and starts to give their analogy, then Lampley speaks over them and finishes it. Lampley loves the sound of his own voice too much IMO.
his nonsensical statements and akward cadence make me think he should probably retire, but he doesn't make me wanna go to sleep. In fact my ears perk up whenever I hear him start to blather. Kind of like your eyes widen at the site of a trainwreck.
