        Love Larry and he did the right thing. If Shane can't answer the tough questions then gtfo. Shane is a vet and knows he should of been criticized. I'm sorry but Shane didn't even belong in the same ring as Floyd last night.

Merchant had to do it like nobody else would.
          It's not about Pacquiao/blood testing. It's about him putting salt in Mosley's wounds, it's nothing to do with him being straight forward as he could have asked the same questions without being a condescending prick.

            Mosley didn't even try and looked old and amateurish. If Merchant wouldn't have said anything then people would have talked **** about how he just verbally assaults certain fighters and since Molsey is one of boxing's "good guys" he didn't confront him after the fight. He was also soft on Mosley, he wasn't as harsh as he's been with other guys previously so stop crying.

            I thought it was great after such a disgraceful performance by Shane. He also gave major props to Floyd, Merchant calls it how he sees it, he's great.

              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.
              Shane didnt really show that class you are talking about when he entered the ring after Floyd's win did he?

              Shane did such a disgraceful thing that night in front of millions of people and Larry was right to ask such a question in front of millions.That night when Shane entered the ring was the beginning so it was only good to bring the whole thing to a conclusion.

              I like Mosley,he got advice from Hopkins and I hope Hopkins was there to watch that fight and give SHane more advice

                Merchant needs to go
                No I like Merchant simply because he asks them directly what many fans want to know, and I rather hear the answers straight from the boxers' mouth than from their trainers, managers, internet rumors and fanboys.

                Saying that, I really wished Merchant was on the Pac/Cotto fight so he would've grilled Pac too, plain and simple.

                I like Kellerman, but he bitches out when boxers talk **** to him. Go watch when he tried to break up the Mosley/Floyd argument, he was scared little ***** after Floyd put him on his place.

                  I found it amusing when Merchant said that Floyd wasn't hurt, just feinting in round 2.

                    Not having been boxed in your life has no relevance to analysing fights nor commenting on them.

                    I dont like Larry too many times but in some times he's right

                      i dont think that was any worse than what he said to/about Floyd...it seemed like it literally was painful for him to congratulate Floyd during the interview...and REALLY painful for him to say that Floyd was aggressive and didn't run around the ring like he expected...

                      why must you try and discredit Floyds win and disrespect an all time great fighter like Sugar Shane by saying he didn't try??...you are not Shane Mosley...

                      you have no idea what its like to be in a ring with Floyd Mayweather, and never will...don't pretend you have ANY idea about how hard Shane tried last night...

                      its disrespectful to such a true all-time great champion and just makes you seem like an unintelligent hater...
