    Is it time for Larry Merchant to retire?

    ??????? this guy sometimes doesn't seem to know what he's even talking about....and he seems really bias with his opinions.....everytime judah fights on hbo...merchant always has to say something negative about him or cuts him off in the interview......he was also giving no credit to hopkins after his victory over dlh....I just think its time for merchant to retire..he just seems like a old grumpy man

    His job is to irritate people. Hence NO.

      Merchant is great. He doesn't need to retire. It's just that Judah hasn't fought any better fighter. Maybe you are referring to the post interview of Merchant to Judah vs. Martell. It's just that Merchant is hard to please before he can say a boxer is of a tough caliber.

            He does what he thinks is right and what is required by his job. As simple as that. As a commentator, you can't change the fact that there are other people who thinks you are bias coz they have also their own opinion or point of view. But I think Merchant is just doing his job. Peace bro!!!

                Although I absolutely loath his asinine analogies, he gives it to you real. 100% truth, and for some, the truth hurts, hence the dislike towards him.

                    Dumping Merchant would have been like the Cubs dumping Harry Caray or ESPN making **** Vitale step down. Come on - bad thread.
