I am posting this to garner some reaction about HBO's Larry Merchant. I personally sometimes disagree with Merchant, and more often find his analogies down right painful, but overall find him to be a valuable assest to HBO and to boxing. Given the hate many seeth for him, I just wanted to start a thread to see what the fuss was over. All opinions are respected (except those that find any redeeming quality in John Ruiz). Sound off.

Well, I think he's a cool old guy that brings something to HBO boxing telecasts that makes it better than without him though I find his scoring always completely off and as in the Barrera fight, he doesn't score like an official judge would. Hehe. Funny old man. -
