I didnt like Larry Merchant in his interview last night

[SugarRayCurtain]

Merchant to Mosley:

"you virtually begged for this fight, what are your feelings now after losing so decisively?"

Calling Mosley a beggar, then rubbing the point that he lost so badly was pretty harsh of Merchant.
You'd think he'd show more empathy towards someone of Shane's class and considering he just lost.

Im a fan of Larry but sometimes his comments are unnecessary, especially last night when his hatred towards Floyd was apparent. Then again I guess that's what makes him so spectacular.

[Da Hammer]

Thats part of the greatness of Larry Merchant. He brings full honesty and won't back down from any fighter! I hope he never retires!!!!!!!!!!

[BoxingFanFirst]

Larry Merchant needs to ****ing retire. I was literally embarassed at some of the **** he said last night.

[Shattered Jaw]

Larry is a senile alcoholic who's never boxed in his life. Leave him be.

does it against only some guys

[FeFist]

I'm not a fan of him, I think it was Roy Jones jr who put him in his place before when he mentioned that he hadn't laced them up in the past, something alongs those lines.

Anyway for an individual who hasn't put blood and sweat in the sport I feel he gets too much recognition.

Right there.

After last night interview, I can honestly say its time to let Kellerman handle the big fights and I wont be defending Larry Merchant anymore.

[Flawless*]

I agree, that was extremely disrespectful. Mosley fought his heart out just to be treated like that. They should have shown respect to a future HOFer who has gave us boxing fans great fights

[Spirit]

He also tried to bait Floyd by criticizing him for the drug testing demands which ended negotiations for the Pac fight

Merchant needs to go

[ELPacman]

There was nothing wrong at all. If nobody else is going to call out fighters on some things, Merchant has to. The man don't give a f**K! He says it out he sees it. He went right for what everyone wants and that's Fraud-Pac. But he had to cut right to the blood issue because that is the only thing holding it back and it's all with Frauds demand of it. Merchant had to do it like nobody else would.
