    If you watch the fight again you will notice he wasnt as hurt as it originally appeared.In any case by the end of that second round Mayweather had already started to pick Mosley apart

      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.
      Theres a time and a place for everything, two guys that just poured their hearts out to please a crowd deserve respect not criticism, only where its due and that would be the actual fight. Did we learn anything new by Merchants provocative questions? I dont think so, because Floyd didnt answer any differently than he has for the past six months now

        I've watched that round about 10 times already and he was one right hand away from at least being knocked down heavily.

          Merchant was hating on Floyd before, during, and after the fight... When will that man ever give Floyd his props.. Even Steward gave Floyd his props and admitted that he didn't think Pacquiao can beat him after seeing that performance

              Larry Merchant had a tone of su****ion and maybe dissapointment possibly.

              Shane talked about how he was tight and Larry came back with how many years he'd been a pro.

              After he hit mayweather big the last time, he started fighting like he'd been hit with those two shots. It was bizarre.

                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.
                Merchant did Mosley wrong, used to call Mosley a warrior, but when he doesnt win, basically embarrasses him. The old man(Merchant) needs to hang them up.

                  I can't believe how biased Larry Merchant is against Floyd..Did anyone seen how he tried to put words in Floyd's mouth when he was interviewing him? Floyd said he want to be in an even playing field, but Larry tried to play it out as if Floyd is accusing other Boxers of using PED's..How biased is that guy? He downplayed the USADA just for the simple fact that Manny didn't agreed with it..If he isn't biased against Floyd, why didn't he tried to put pressure on both of those two guys instead of one, i can't stand people like that..

                    Lrry is a prick and a racist. He was throwing cheap shots at floyd all night as usual, discrediting everything he did. Mosley didnt deserve those comments.
